Adding on to what the guy/girl before me said, you should see a tube like thing with a wire on it stick out and that will be it
It's inline in the exhaust system. You'll see one on each bank of the engine before the catalytic converter and one or two behind the converter. It's fairly easy to change, get your hands on an O2 sensor socket and get an OEM GM replacement sensor, don't cheap out or you'll be asking for trouble.
Where does the heated o2 sensor go on a 2000 chevy s10 ls 3 door 4.3 4x4

Oxygen sensors are always numbered like this:
Bank 1 sensor 1
Bank 2 sensor 1
Bank 1 sensor 2
Bank 2 sensor 2
Some manufacturers use a kind of shorthand that reads different, but means the same thing:
Sensor 1/1 or O2s 1/1
Sensor 2/1 or O2s 2/1
Sensor 1/2 or O2s 1/2
Sensor 2/2 or O2s 2/2
Bank 1 is always the side of the engine where cylinder number 1 is located and, of coarse, Bank 2 is the opposite side.
On a 4 cylinder engine, there is only 1 bank and it is always referred to as Bank 1.
Sensor 1 is always the upstream sensor (the one located BEFORE the catalytic converter)
Sensor 2 is always the downstream sensor (the one that is located AFTER the catalytic converter.
Hope helps (remember to rate this).
