Cool Got a tune up and it runs great!!!!

Well did some stuff to my truck today, installed the Magnacore spark plug wires, new NGK 55 plugs, a full service oil change.

But, then I bought a new MAF sensor. The last one I descreened, I was having problems with the trans slipping and I think it was finally going out. The past month or so its been running like crap, seems slower not just running right. Then I installed a new one instantly I noticed a difference, while ideling didnt make a pinging sound anymore. And at WOT it runs harder a lot harder and when it shifts its firmer and doenst fall on its face. I notice when I installed the corvette servo I could actually feel the servo ingauge and hold in the shift, maybe not enough line preasure. I thought it took longer to notice a differance in the computer but mine was instant.

But to all that ask the question to descreen the MAF leave it alone!

i been thinking of getting a new MAF too. i descreened mine a couple of years ago. truck runs fine, but i think it probably will run better if i get a new one.

where did you get yours? how much for a new stock MAF?

i need to replace my plugs too. i put in Bosch a while back. i am thinking of going to the tr-55's too
