I changed mine over 100k ago, so a good cleaning probably wouldn't hurt.
Same here.... 50,000+ ago! I'm up over 25 mpg just thinking about cleaning it.
Actually just checked mileage this am.... and am down about 1.5 mpg?? Hope it's IAT but maybe VP-44.

22mm socket?? Probably right...don't remember it being that big?

I don't remember if it was the MAP or IAT, but one of them is BIG.

Funny... can't find it (IAT) in the 'Index' in my Service Manual?

RJ

Edit (10:50): Found it... also discovered MAP Sensor takes 1-1/4" and IAT takes 13/16" (or 22 mm)

WOW! I think this is the quietest one of our threads has ever been.

Who all is coming to The Ranch on Friday night of Labor Day Weekend? Right now, I know of RowJ and Tyler, but don't know of anyone else for sure.

I figure we'll order pizza on Friday night and have fajitas on Saturday night. Sunday night..........? I guess breakfast will be Micky D's and lunches will be.....whatever. Be sure to bring your drinks, snacks, bedding. etc.

More info to come...........

Still not sure if I'm coming, but I can assure you I won't be there Friday night, we're having a meet down here that night. Hopefully I'll be pulling up in the September Truck of the Month.

You're welcome here, even if you don't make TOM.

At least you were nominated. Sometimes having a last century, plain, near show room condition truck ain't much fun.

Seems like when I usually look at TOM it's 1st gens or 2nd gens. I don't even know what the category was that D. Wiggs won.
