Might need new H2 sooner
After some hard wheeling a month or so ago, I was heading down the Interstate towing a Jeep behind me on a trailer. Not only was the wheeling pretty hard, it was extremely dusty out. So as we are tooling along, I get a check engine light. We stop and check it and it's some Mass Air Flow sensor code.
Reset and go on and the code is thrown again a few more times over the past month ( I don't put many miles on my truck - 08/02 with less than 35K )
Decided today to take a look at it, and apparently back when my A/C went out on the way to K-rocks a few months ago, they took the intake tube off. When they reinstalled it, they folded over the rubber gasket where the MAF mates to the air box and there was a bad wrinkle in the rubber gasket. The MAF was throwing the code because it was getting surges of different air pressure as the truck torqued, I assume, and pulled on the gasket opening up and letting air through.

I better not have to stop in Waco again anytime soon or they are going to have another mofo Waco on their hands.
