    I'd go stock air box, oiled air filters on aftermarket fouls maf sensors and have been shown to have little to benefit performance wise.

    That popping sounds a lot like spider gears, or a broken tooth on the ring and pinion, best way to find out is drain the diff, gotta stay 4.10's if that's what's in the back.

    Do you know how to determine if the Maf Sensor is bad?

    Thanks

    should throw a code, they don't usually go bad unless they have been fouled by an oiled air filter.

    That's what I thought.
    It looks good, I cleaned it last night again.
    I am having same issues again. they just started coming back.
    So I think I might just set the truck on fire. Lol

    I drove it 80 miles with no issues. drove it in the woods and then on the 80 mile stretch back it starts the same symptoms of missing.

    I am going to get another diagnostic on it.
    I am going to have them check the; Coils, Fuel pressure, O2 levels, all vacuum lines.

    Its throwing the same knock sensor codes.

    I believe it has to be a bad connection or a short of some sort. It does kind of shift like a bad coil now though.
    But Its throwing the knock sensor codes again. :(

    That looks like something I would really like to have! Followed the links. The first is good but the second tells about the app but no info on how/where to get it. Do you have any more info? TIA
