hey...im looking to pick up a CAI for the my truck...i currently have an Edge programmer and just a super 44 muffler on the truck... with a k and n oem replacement...i found a pretty good deal on a k and n CAI but i think i recall hearing that it throws codes bc of the position of MAF sensor..anyone have any input for me? just so i know wether or not to go with the K and N one...btw it is the more expensive of the two CAI k and n sells...the black one...

False times 2.

Search on "K&N" and read through the dozen or so threads. Better yet, go to K&N's web site and read their FAQ (frequently asked questions). It will put all the stupid myths about oiling, MAF failures, etc, etc, to rest.

Here's their link:

http://www.knfilters.com/

Folks should stop listening to the bunk myths and research. Go straight to the source. Reading K&N's site will tell you they have never had a filter or kit cause any codes, nor cause any damage to the MAF sensor. Period.

your truck will probably run lean unless you get some custom tunes.
