My truck Hates Me- MAF issue with aftermarket intake.... WHY? (opinion please)

[UrbanKnight]

Why do I always get the one truck thats different?

I have a 2005 6.0. Picked up a AFE Stage 2 intake off ebay.

went to install.. and apparently, I don't have the correct MAF....

Why must this truck be sooo special?

(yes, I know there is no need for an intake, thanks in advance....)

What I have


What the intake wants (and every picture I have found of 6.0 Mafs match this...)

Yours is a late-build 2005 model year F-Series, the ONLY application that doesn't use a MAF sensor (only IAT #1).

Thanks you!

So, with that said, I am guessing no intake for me....

And, is that good, bad or indifferent?

Will it have any effect when I run a new tuner? (Truck is studded, exhaust and runnign a power pup now which seems Meeeh to me, so will be buying a SCTx3 and tunes assuming I don't have the one truck you can't do anything with...

K&N's intake has provisions for either meter.

You can place a rubber grommet in that whole to you can put that sensor in.
