Mass Air FLow

My truck is in the shop right now because one of the 17 billion sensors is bad and giving me oh so much truoble. My mechanic thinks there is a chance it's the mass air flow. If that's the case I figured I'd go ahead and get an aftermarket to replace instead of paying for a new stock sensor. I need help with brands and prices and size. I figure if I get the aftermarket sensor I'll go ahead and get a throttle body to match.

Don't forget the upgrade to the fuel delivery ( pumps, and rails...maybe injectors ? ) and the chip reburnt to take it all into account...

I only checked the GMS against a narrow band O2 meter, and it looked almost stock, but I would not rely on that long term. That project got put on the back burnner for a bit.
You would need to get the fuel delivery items upgraded to match the upgraded MAFS and the chip burnt to take into account the new system. Little more then a T/B and MAFS to the upgrade.
Actually you can port and polish a T/B and T/B elbow to a pure 70mm and pick up a bit, without doing a MAFS or fuel upgrades, and without a chip reburn.

Check out Neal's gallery with the pictures of the 90 mm MAFs ported to 104mm, and the upgraded fuel pump and rail.

Might be the easiest thing to stick with the stock one, unless you are heading this way, which is a lot of work before putting it back on the road. ( A/Fs from Dyno pulls along with everything else ).
