I think this may have been discussed on these boards somewhere, but does anyone know if you can upgrade the newer 5.3 vortec MAF with the Z06 MAF? I is suppost to flow a greater amount of air, and is half the cost of an aftermarket piece. I think i heard it may also require tuning? if so, how is that done. :eek:

 

Thanks!

:thumbs: they are desighned to run without a screen.n they flow a little more also. if they were the same then why would they put it on a Z06. mine helped me. they do have the same number on them but they are set up differently.

I just got a Z06 Mafs thanks to Badbow1's recommendation!

I'll let you know if I feel any difference when I get it on. Not today, It's -7 degrees right now!!!! :thumbs:

I am thoroughly intrigued by this :D

 

I do have a few questions if someone could point me in the right direction...

 

If they have the same part number how do you distinguish between the truck and the Z06 one? Also, how much cash are we talking about for this (roughly)? And how much gain am I going to see if I do install it? Sorry if this has been answered before...if someone could point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.

 

Thanks! :thumbs:

Only thing I wonder now is the tunning part. I read over that previous dicussion and noticed talk about tunning it. How do you do that, or what tools are required, or a professional deal?

 

I just want to drop it in and go, but wonder about tunning.. any additional info??

not sure if you will be able to tell right away. i did gain a difference before it was tuned in. but it will not hurt and it is gm. :thumbs:

Looks like it doesn't have to be tuned, but it would help.

 

If I remember correctly, when my dad installed an aftermarket MAFS on his 95 Impala SS all he had to do was disconect the battery and then reconnect it after he put the part on. That way the computer could calibrate the new sensor. Is that what you're talking about with this Z06 one on the truck?

I put the Z06 mafs in today. Runs and idles just like stock with no problems. Couldn't really tell if there was a performance boost or not. It is exactly the same size as the stock one, but doesn't have a inlet screen. It's gotta be worth a couple of HP I would think!

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.

      RUMOR / INSIDER: 2027 Silverado Dealer Reveal NEXT WEEK

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

      Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
