* Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF): This is the most likely sensor you're thinking of. It's located in the air intake tube, *usually* between the air filter housing and the throttle body. It's a fairly large sensor, often with a wire harness connected. Look closely at the air intake tube; it's a common location for this sensor.
* Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor: This sensor measures the temperature of the air entering the engine. It's often integrated into the MAF sensor housing on the 6.0L, but it can sometimes be a separate sensor located nearby.
To be certain, you should:
1. Consult your vehicle's repair manual: This will give you the exact location with diagrams.
2. Use a reliable online parts diagram: Many websites (like auto parts store websites) have diagrams you can search by year, make, model, and engine. Enter the specifics of your truck and look for the "air intake" or "MAF sensor" section.
Without visual confirmation using these resources, pinpointing the exact location is unreliable. Incorrectly identifying the sensor could lead to unnecessary parts replacement or damage.
