Default Question on MAF's

Been looking for a MAF for my build and have a few questions.

1. What is a decent price to pay for a good condition stock unit?

2. Will all the MAF's out there work? See a bunch on ebay labeled for this type vehicle etc.... LS, LT etc....

$25 at the salvage yard. Give 'em your year, make, & model & they will print out a list of vehicles with identical MAF's. Just gently clean the screen & sensors w/ contact cleaner or alcohol & a Q-tip & she's good to go. Be gentle though, don't want to damge the sensors.

CRC MAF cleaner spray has always worked well for me to clean them up. The K&N filters can get them goopy if they're mounted too closely.

Duane,

I used an 85mm truck unit that I got of ebay brand new(scratch & dent) for 29.00. It is a 5 pin unit. I am guessing that you will need the 3 pin, as your IAT sensor should be remote mounted. You can run the 5 pin with internal IAT(truck unit) with an adapter harness. This would be an easier route for your conversion. I just bought a second one last night for 31.00. They are pretty plentiful.

Jack

Duane,

That is the same MAF I bought last night...same seller too.
That one will work just fine for your conversion.

Here is the link you need for the adapter
