mine reads 0.4 g/s and doesnt move is that good bad or faulty?

There have been two types of MAF sensors. One uses a two wire connector the other a 5(7??) wire connector. This might be the difference in your readings compared to mine.
What brought you to check it? Code??

no no code i was simply just wondering
Oh, okay..
what a mess
New member
do you have something that reads yours?
I don't.. I have had my share of issues involving the MAF, finally through the oiled air filter in the trash and no more issues..

or is this something that doesnt matter at all and i dont need to even wonder about it?

The tuning of and use of sensors on the 6.0's has been all over the place to say the least since day 1. If you look at other 6.0's you may notice they don't even have a MAF sensor. I have asked lots of Ford engineers why some do and why some don't and I never have got a straight answer. Its not an early build vs late build because I have seen an early 04 that had a MAF. Its to do with emissions but its kind of like the early 6.0 EBP delete after thought.
Blabing aside, generally there is specs for MAF koeo, idle, 35 and 55 mph. Since I can't get into my info tonight (ford being a pita) I cannot supply you with the specs. However as airflow changes, the reading will change. I'm not saying you have a problem because I've never had to screw with MAF on a 6.0 but I can give you the specs tomorrow to see where they should be. Is the truck stock? tuning?

sweet thank you sir

Considering there are two styles that Ford used as a MAF your readings don't match mine. I have the traditional MAF (not the IAT sensor) and read 100+g/s while driving.

mine is a 6 wire but shouldnt the reading still be the same?

Yea...it doesn't seem right.

this its el junko and is it worth replacing ive heard these trucks dont use them and ive heard they do use them????

A 4 wire sensor is just a MAF reading
A 6 wire sensor is a MAF and an IAT in one.
When A 4 wire sensor is used, the IAT will be placed somewhere seperately.
Don't be fooled by the number of wires at the actual sensor, there could be 6 but 2 of them might not go anywhere!
From the refrences for an 2005 f350 6.0 are
Key On Engine Off 0.4v
Idle 1.36v
High idle 2.65v
I know you're looking at flow rates in g/s but its not listed. The voltages should be close to that. I said that there would be values for 35 and 55 mph but in diesels there are not. So this would make me think that reall the mass air flow sensor is probably only used at closed throttle. Fuel calculations would be based off of MAP, RPM etc not MAF. This is because in a turbo/ supercharged vehicle the MAF is inaccurate under boost. New ecoboost engines don't use MAF either.

alright that you so i shouldnt worry about it is what you are saying

Sorry for the slow reply. Yes, if you have no codes and are not suffering performance issues then no I wouldn't worry about it too much.
