MAF (mass airflow sensor) cleanup day
#31
When buying any part I tend to NOT want cheap---air filters I use nothing but NAPA's Gold line, about $20 each. Over the past 10 years those have worked perfectly, nary a sign of them failing---I do change them about 20K miles though.
Not sure who actually supplies MotorCraft with their filters but chances are its the low-ball guys. Wix and Baldwin are two names most associated with higher quality.
Here's something that might be new info about aftermarket air filters like K&N: http://dieseliq.com/aftermarket-air-filters

I thought there was another thread that said that may not actually be the case? I know k&n has done some research on it and found a significant number of things that were being blamed on them, were not them at all.

I did the cleaning tonight and I've got to say, I don't think I've spent less money or less time getting a bigger grin. Over 199K and the truck has new life. No hesitation/stumble at acceleration and gear changes come quick and easy. If you've got a bunch of miles on the odometer and you haven't done this, you gotta try it. You'll be glad you did.
