My truck is throwing four codes mass airflow, o2 bank 1, o2 bank 2 and catalytic converter. Why would all emissions codes be on at once?

Okay,

101 is for the mass air flow. Check the connector at the mass air flow for any damaged or burned pins.

171,174 is a vacuum leak or running lean.

The 420 is a bad catalytic converter. The precious metals are worn out internally.
