Installed mine a couple days ago, working great. Nice product all around.
Edit: I've had a pinging issue with my truck since I bought it, tried different fixes but never could eradicate it completely, until now. Drove the 80 this weekend loaded with 4 people+gear, towing a boat 70-75 mph, with zero issues. Wish I had done this mod a long time ago.

Just installed my new MAF and Landtank Housing this evening. I'm very impressed with the increase in off idle throttle response. The truck feels like it lost a few hundred pounds. Good job Rick!

Just received the MAF housing, what a fine piece of machinery. Top notch quality. I can't wait to put it on. Thanks again!

Just installed mine and it seems to be running well. Have only had the LC for two days so it's hard to tell, but the idle definitely seems smoother. Definitely glad I did it...
Broke the internal pin that holds the brown wire in, I hope that doesn't give me too much grief, but it seems to be working fine. Otherwise, I'll have to get a new harness.
Thanks, Rick, for a great product.

if you contact Dan at American Toyota with the 5 digit number molded into the connector housing he can get you a replacement. They aren't that expensive.

Looks like all your auctions have ended. When will you have a new batch?

I installed mine yesterday with a brand new sensor. Using a 5% correction for my 285's I got just over 16 MPG on a 130 mile freeway/highway trip while gassing it pretty hard going up freeway grades and that is with an S/C. I also took a buddy out for a ride in it and we were gassing it pretty hard. I can't really hear the "throaty" sound some people speak of because the whine from the S/C drowns it out. It does feel like my engine is able to breath easier and handles hills easier. I'll probably have some quantifiable data soon when my Scangauge arrives.
The install was a easy thanks for the nice instructions.
Thanks for all the time you put into this Rick. Awesome attention to detail. I can't believe you even supplied a little pack of grease to help the housing slide on and caps for the fuel regulator. I never cease to be amazed at the level of craftsmanship and quality engineering  I find here on MUD.

Installed this bad boy yesterday after doing my brakes. Found a used sensor on EvilBay for $29. Everything went together in about 20 minutes. In my connector I had a formed white, plastic "lock" that had to be completely removed in order to remove the pins. No biggie. So after installing I go for a drive. I don't really notice much of a change at all. Just regular cruising about town. I get gas and restart. I decide to take a steep hill up by my house.
The best way to describe it is imagine you are driving and you press the PWR button. It "feels" more peppy and changes the transmission shift points. Now imagine feeling that WITHOUT hitting the PWR button. It was VERY noticeable. Now when I hit the PWR button it actually feels like I have added torque. Now it could be the shift points in the transmission but it really feels like it has more power.
My wife noticed the change right away when she drove it!
Then my DS rubber brake line went out after doing a fresh brake job. Related?........
Maybe the brakes can't handle all the new power!!!

I also bought a sensor on eBay.
I installed the sensor into the MAF housing.
I installed the whole unit according to the instructions and got a CEL code 110.
Any ideas?

that points to the IAT sensor within the MAF sensor itself. Check the wiring by comparing the color of the wires to that of the directions. Also make sure all wires are installed completely. If that all checks out you have a bad sensor.

Rick,
Thanks for the quick shipping and the high-quality product with solid installation instructions. It was a pleasure doing business with you, and the gains in shift quality and engine smoothness at higher rpms are readily apparent during the first test drive. Now that I've endorsed your product, do I get a volume discount if I buy another for my other 80?

Sensor is in hand, but without a home. Do you have an ETA on the next round of finely crafted housings?

In order to keep the cost down I've ordered another 30 housings and they were being made as fill in work at the shop. We have been talking about the progress of these pieces once a week and have discussed pulling 10 ahead of the rest to fill back orders.
I'll post an eta at the end of this week. If anyone has a dead line like Christmas please let me know as I would hate to miss that delivery.

The next batch of housings should arrive by 12/12/2008. I'll get them out in the mail that saturday if they do arrive.
If something changes I'll update the thread.
Thanks for you patience with the delivery time.

Just sent some bucks your way after reading all the threads on your MAF. Great work and thank you so much.
I also ordered a used OEM sensor from ebay for $40.00! Hopefully it works.

thanks, you should get some CRC MAF cleaner and clean it before you install it. Bought from RiceBurner?
