Probably, I just got a PM for someone willing to prepay which helps me greatly to be able to afford doing the run. If anyone is interested and is willing to prepay I'll get you the housing as fast as I can.

I'll order another 10 housings today. They should be in in 2 weeks.

I can hardly say how impressed I am after installing the new MAF last weekend.

I run 5.29's with 35's at high altitude, normally aspirated, and it just feels like it is running effortlessly at 3K RPM/75 mph (I typically cruise @ 70 mph, as my tires don't much like 75+). With the stock MAF/sensor at RPM nearing 3K, there was a lot of engine NVH, and it is gone. I mean gone.

Downshifting is smoother, power delivery is cleaner across the power band, it's not like it is supercharged, but the truck feels "right" now - rather than always feeling like it is on the edge of bogging down on hill climbs it just wants to run. Even kicking out of OD on hill climbs at 3,500 - 3,700 RPM it is quieter than it was at 2,800 RPM before and wants to keep climbing.

I had wondered why the 80 labored so much at 3K when my old '97 XJ 4.0L spun happily along at that RPM on cross country trips. Now my 80 feels and sounds like it should at my slightly higher 5.29 geared RPM's, just an incredible difference in NVH and power delivery consistency in case that isn't clear

Get this mod. It is worth triple what it is selling for.

Paypal sent......might just have to install this & see if the wife notices

Might be a cool test

Thanks.

landtank · 06-05-08, 05:00 PM

Nay, glad you like the mod and thanks for the compliments. Did you use a new sensor or a used one? One person sourced a used sensor and it soon after failed. He then got a new sensor and saw a good deal of improvement over what he experienced initially.

If anyone is sourcing used sensors, thoroughly clean them with CRC MAF sensor cleaner. You can look up inside the sensor and see the two wires that need to be spotless.

And...8 left

Sorry man, I sent out two just before leaving for work and forgot to email the instructions. I'll get them to you later on tonight.

New sensor from CDan.

My wife commented on how I was actually keeping up with her as she was driving the minivan @ 75 mph when we had both the van and 80 out for an appointment - this before she knew I'd done anything to it. Usually I am bogging at 60 mph even with the 5.29's up the last hill on I-25 to our place.

Feels like I'm not at 7,400 ft. elevation anymore, perfect complement to the regearing, especially my lower gearing/higher RPM

Excellent R&D Rick! I've just spent the last two hours at work (and am still here at 6pm) reading all the threads as its the first I've noticed it (don't spend much time these days on the forum).

I see u have 8 left... I'll dig up my paypal info asap and try to get one on order by the weekend. I want to be the first to try to get'r through a smog test once I get the dreaded P401 code to clear! Its quite the debacle as I never got the registration notice and have been driving around with expired tags

Talk to you soon.

alia176 · 06-13-08, 07:15 PM

What is the typical cost of a new or used sensor (not the OEM housing)? Anyone know?

arndog123 · 06-14-08, 11:56 AM

I paid $115 for a new sensor from CDan.

As of right now there are 3 housings left from this batch.

Clutchee · 06-24-08, 01:29 PM

With 3 left.....whats the status for the folks who have paid.....

Can't wait

landtank · 06-24-08, 03:05 PM

I'll know tomorrow when to expect this batch to come in. I'm not at home but almost all from this run are gone. If someone does send money and one isn't available I'll order another 10 immediately.

SF80 · 06-24-08, 03:09 PM

Payment sent! Looking forward to installing this!

Riad · 06-25-08, 05:17 PM

Another paypal payment sent.

landtank · 06-25-08, 05:26 PM

Another 10 pieces on order.

landtank · 06-26-08, 08:46 AM

I talked with the shop and the spindle on the CNC machine had issues and my job as well as a few in front of me got pushed back. Right now it looks like I'll be receiving them the week of July 6th. Sorry about the delay and I'll get them out to everyone as soon as I can.

The positive news is that he actually ordered 20 units so there will be more than enough to go around when they do arrive.

landtank · 07-02-08, 02:25 PM

Talked again with my machinist and the CNC shop should have the housings to him on Monday and anodizing takes two days so I'm still optimistic that I can have them in the mail on 7/12. The wild card is what effect if any the 4th will have on it.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me through a PM as I don't have the time or the info while on the road to keep every individual up to date continuously.

If you paid for a housing you will get one.

And when, not if, you receive yours, you will be a very satisfied customer as am I. Patience is a virtue! I haven't written a review of this product anywhere but can say, with certainty, that I am more than satisfied with the investment in the Landtank MAF housing and the modernized sensor it utilizes and the improvements they effect after 2500 miles of use.

Thanks Steve for the endorsement. I realize people have sent me money in good faith and while I might not be contacting everyone individually I try and keep this thread current with the progress on the next order. Quite honestly I have been a little overwhelmed with the resent response and coupled with a delay in delivery it has become a concern for a few people. Please understand this is not a business for me so frequent personal updates aren't going to happen unless initiated by you. But if you sent me money you will get a housing as soon as I'm physically capable of sending it.

I appreciate your patience and I'll post here with any new news.

landtank · 07-07-08, 05:15 PM

I got an update today and the aluminum housings are at the anodize shop and this step usually takes 2 days. There are actually 24 pieces so there will be some left over for immediate delivery.

I'll update again when I get word that they are done and ready for delivery to me.

Thanks for your patience.
