It is not hard to install at all, I did it in my driveway in about 2 hours. When I say if I can do it anyone can and that's no lie.

it's not hard at all. just be careful with the mass air flow sensor. It can be tight and not that easy to get out. Call AF1 if necessary.

It's very easy to install; I agree that the instruction sheets make it look harder than it actually is. It only takes a couple of wrenches and a couple of screwdrivers. It took me about an hour to remove the stock intake and put in the AF1, though I had a friend reading the instructions to me and double checking everything.

And yeah, removing the MAF from the stock intake was the hardest part. Just be patient with it. Once you get it disconnected use some electrical connection cleaner to spray it down then let it dry while you bolt up the new intake. And be sure to make a note of the way the MAF is oriented on the stock tube - it has to be in the same position with the AF1.

You're gonna love what the AF1 does for your truck!

Good luck!

Trust me, if I can do it anyone who can read could do it. It took a buddy and me 45 minutes to take apart the stock and replace it with the AF1. This is probably the simplest install that I have ever come across. There's nothing to it

Go for it. You can do it. Easy as 1 2 3.

Just one more thing to be careful while installing. Dont drop anything. It's like a black hole if you drop a socket or something.
