Hope Everyone Remembers This!! We Have Found, And In Fact A Bulletin Has Just Come Out That Talks About Oil Getting On The Maf Sensor And How It Can Damage It. But This Is The Kicker!. The Maf Sensor Is One Of The Critical Sensors That Helps Determine Line Pressures In The Auto Transmission. You Can Burn Up A Trans If Oil Gets On The Maf And Will Usually Damage The Transmission Before It Damages The Maf. If It Is Determined To Be Maf Related, Then Open Up The Pocket Book Becuase You Will Have A Very Large Bill You Will Be Responsibile For. We Have Had 3 Trans Complaints The Last 2 Months, 2 With Poor Sloppy Shifts, And 1 With Burned Up Clutch Packs With No Apparant Reason. All Were Related To Oil On The Maf. The Oil Coats And Insolates The Wires. Therefore, Insufficient Line Pressures Are Developed Under Hard Loads, Which Causes Slippage. Slippage Burns Things Up, And Cost You Thousands.
This Is No Joke, So Do Not Mess With This. I Recommend Using Only About Half Of What The Filter Poeple Say. And Periodically Clean The Maf. It Is Easily Done By Using Carb Cleaner. It Is Also Accumulative. One Of The Trans Jobs Had 50k On It We Cleaned The Sensor And Had Serious Changes In The Shifting. Also New Air Boxes Look Really Great But I Really Question Any Major Improvement That Can Justify Some Of The High Costs Of Some Of The Aftermarket Units. Maybe Cruising At 135mph There May Be A Difference. But Normal Driving, I Think It Would Be Very Questionable. I Have Installed Many Volant Air Boxes On Trucks And Utilities. There Is No Doubt It Helps, Especially Gett Cold Air. Volant Says Increases As High As 25 Hp. I Do Not Believe It. But Customers Want It So We Have It. But Is It Worth The Many Hundreds Of Dollars?? To Make It Worse, Many Customers Are Installing Units That Are Using Underhood Air. Now That Is Totally Crazy. Gm Is Going To Make Sure All Dealers Know About It. Please Do Not Be The One They Catch. Use As Little Oil Or No Oil. Do Not Know If This Info Has Returned To The Manufacturer Of The Boxes Yet.
