Default Gonna clean my MAF sensor this weekend, quick question

Can someone circle where the MAF is in this picture? Once I removed the intake/filter housing, I am sure I will see it, but just out of curiousity, can someone point it out for now??

You don't have to remove it to clean it. If you undo the two halves of the air-cleaner and look into the end that leads to the motor, you will see the plastic piece with the two wires in it.

Spray that thoroughly with Mass Air Flow cleaner and wait for it to dry before starting the truck.

Heres a pic of I usually use.

If you look at the wires going in to the air filter housing in the picture there....... you should be able to locate your MAF sensor as those are the wires that lead to it. It's just inside the half of the air filter housing that leads to the engine.
