Ford 6.7 MAF sensor extension cable

Seems like an odd thing that one would need.


i installed a banks air box and to me it seems like the truck MAF sensor cable lost its slack and opportunity for trying off for stress relief. Seems tight with no slack and in my mind…could eventually break a strand. There are about 5 wires in the bundle. It the best pic but you can see the stock cable pulled almost horizontal to the rear.




so I looked around for a MAF cable extension and did not find one. A few months later I found this one by accident.




so I just installed it and I’m able to tie it off and leave a little slack in the cable.





tested it and MAF numbers are normal.


life is good again.

Good find! I'll make note of that part number. You don't happen to have the link handy, do you?

Well, I went to the site, but when filtering on 2020+ that cable doesn't show up. I wouldn't think that it would only fit models up to 2019, as that's a pretty generic cable...

Looks like the mad part number for 20 + is different.

Ah, then that explains it. Thanks for the follow-up. I hadn't had a chance to research it (which I shouldn't be doing on company time anyhow, lol)

If needing or wanting extra MAF harness length, you could always cut the wires and splice in longer wires using these. I had to replace a corroded tail light connector in my truck and used something like these...

Camtek 200PCS Red Solder Seal Wire Connectors 22-18 AWG, Self Soldering Heat Shrink Wire Connectors Marine Grade Waterproof Insulated Electrical Butt Splice Wire Terminals for Automotive Boat Truck https://a.co/d/eKSN7Ph

IF this was absolutely required... if you cannot find a MAF extension harness..

Thanks, yeah there are always alternative methods. I have no need for an extension at this time, but wanted to retain the web link for a ready-made extension if ever needed in future. But, no biggie.

Believe me, a plug and play harness with connectors is the way to go... just me stating the obvious...
