How to Clean MAF-2005 5.4

NO! Very important to use a cleaner that leaves no residue. Must be for cleaning electronics.

Just got it apart and sprayed, really is as simple as the directions say, the guys at oreilly's auto didnt know if the CRC electronics cleaner was any different from the MAF cleaner, but it probably is all the same in the end just in a different can and for a few cents more because its a specialty solution. They could have sold it to me in a smaller can atleast....I'm never going to need to buy another can of this stuff for the rest of my life. Might even start passing it on as a family heirloom the can is so big.

Just cleaned mine on Saturday. Truck was idling rough at low rpms, like around 550-600, before and now idles smooth at around 700 rpms. I'm hoping to see a MPG improvement. I've been gettinga about 12.5-13 with stock tires, DWV intake mod and dual exhaust. Hoping this improves upon that.
Thanks for the write-up. Easy as can be maintainance. Think I'll hit mine again this next weekend, just to be sure I got all the build-up off the contacts.
