I've been busy with a few projects.....
I finally installed my Custom Hood <---Link to the thread here on EF
I finally installed the Intake Spacer (another link) I have had on the shelf for months
But now I have upgraded my MAF too....I bought a 5.0L X MAF off ebay for $15.00
Here is what I got:
Here is what I did to it:
First things first....take the MAF electronics off the body
I started by looking at the small plate off the back of the MAF...I can only think this was designed to created a little turbulance, slowing the air down a little around the sensor to get a good reading......I removed it.
One that little plate was gone, It was time to get rid of that whole pillar in the middle of the MAF. Get a good hacksaw, take off the blade insert the blade into the MAF body, and re-attach the blade to the saw....saw away at the pillar
Now you are almost done....
There is a little bit left on the bottom that SHOULD be removed if you have the ability. I used my airpowered die grinder.
It literally took me all of 5 minutes to get to this point from when I first walked into my shop with the part in the box.
Just for comparison sake, here is the stock 4.0L MAF opening compared to the 5.0L MAF:
I can telll a difference with this MAF..... I love it....
I have a few other projects that I am working of for the X.......stay TUNED...(no pun intended)...
