MAF

[bry]

So on my year 2000 truck,i changed the said Maf around June/July last year.And today i had to replace it with a spare i had laying around.Motor factors have agreed to replace it.

So this got me thinking,what would be the expected life span of the Maf(Bosch) Obviously mileage is a factor.But would like revving the nuts off it.like off roading and needing some oomph (Not that i have on the 2000 one)

Too many factors to consider here to give an anywhere near accurate guess

Or to give a shorter answer... he ain't got a clue...:lol

Revving the nuts off it would probably increase the air flow over it, maybe more vibration, but then again, the MAF is designed to perform within these limits..

depends on what the replacement maf was? if genuine Bosch then 100k but other crap no time at all, Rick

It should last longer than a year:augie my last T2's factory MAF lasted over 6 years & when I replaced it, it was still working perfect after being on the truck for 2 years later & I drove that truck really hard

This is the thing.I replaced the Maf on my year 2001 around 4yrs ago and its still going strong,and that one got some hard(off road)driving (Bosch)
Both Maf's were purchased from the same motor factors shop.(Bulleyse)

Just got an image of Jim bowen telling you you've got the time it takes the board to revolve to choose the cheap Chinese copy or the genuine bosch maf.

Yeh I heard horror stories from Ray about the horrid Chinese ones as little as 2 weeks

Get the proper Bosch and be done with it

Both Maf's were purchased from the same place.And had the word...wait for it Bosch stamped not printed on them.Exactly the same as the original Maf's.The first replacement one on the yr 2001 as i previously said is still going strong after a few years.And since the faulty one from the Yr 2000 is going back to Bosch for replacement.Then i guess i will find out if it is a snide.Because if anyone should know,it will be Bosch themselves.Anyway thanks to those that offered useful advice on the lifespan to be expected from a genuine Maf.Pretty much along the same lines as myself...
