CAI= Cold Air Intake..... Why do you want to bypass the mass airflow? Thats an important piece of the fuel management system.

If its for a cold air intake, any model for that truck will have an adapter for the MAF sensor.

If you bi-pass your MAF your truck will not run correctly...if at all...

Disconnecting the MAF sensor for any length of time will throw a trouble code and CEL. Usually, the engine will not continue to run at idle, and run very poorly with throttle. imp
