Omg man the banter is strong in your family lol you guys crack me up!!!

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

thanks man, it's like that 24/7 at the house.

[@tonybass5662]

Your helper seems like a real joy.

[@kurtfirestone2761]

You 2 are awesome, love the arguing, definitely subscribing, and going back a watch old videos. Jen fucking rocks.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Thanks man.

[@Dahita]

Thanks a lot for the video. Wasn't aware of this issue until I went below 12 MPG carrying loads. After cleanup my MPGs went beyond what I used to have when I bought the truck. FYI I had installed an oiled up K&N Filter. Kinda regret it now...

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Glad we could help. Really bothered us, and surprised by how sensitive they were. But it makes sense. The ecoboost platform can even detect octane and adjust timing and power accordingly to make the most power. Any dirty sensor could cause you to loose power.

“You got this dad” “Shut up Christian” 😭😂😂😂😂

[@johnvaras1764]

So was having a rough time in stop and go traffic around 20-30mph if I let the truck coast and lightly hit the gas the truck felt like it was misfiring for a second or two. I was going to take it to the dealer tomorrow Monday but thought let me clean these sensors and see what it does. The one on top of engine was visibly dirty. Others no. Cleaned them off. Boom. My girl is back. Thanks brother !!! Couldn’t believe that god her running smooth again.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

YeH, I had a similar issue with loosing power. And why I put this video out.

[@Wreckeem]

I love how casual and funny y’all are! Definitely subscribed and hoping to see more!!

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Thanks 🙏

[@Akafoo247]

I have a 2019 F150 3.5 L EcoBoost Type Model do not have a mass air flow sensor. But I did notice lost of MPG. So I took the consideration of cleaning those sensors out.

[@bensutherland6871]

Thank you this is the only video I could find that showed the location of the sensors

[@richardherm1822]

Love your approach an attitude. I have 18 KR with 3.5 EB. Just an observation would not have been easier to takeoff the beauty cover to get at the back air sensor?

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Possibly. We kept it on because it was better supporting myself on it over the intake manifold .

[@RandomStuffGarage619]

You run the motorcraft paper filter for warranty purposes? I have been considering the AEM dryflow.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

I actually run the WIX paper filter because of it's size and capacity to capture the fine dust. Also, I go thru a filter about once every 2 month and the cost is relatively low. Ive had problems with Reusable filters. I ran the K&N one for a while and later found a bunch of pink oil all over that first Sensor. So I stopped using it. Had a friend run the AFE Dry filter and it did not capture any of the fine dust. Not a good thing to let all that dust into the engine. So I just go with the tried and true high quality paper filters from Wix and I've never had problems.

[@Wreckeem]

Okay I just had to write a second comment as I progress through this video. I fucking love this video I’m dying haha.

[@JKZ103]

Bro, take the 2 10 mm bolts that hold the engine cover off! So much easier for the back sensor! Cleaning them does make a huge difference

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

I normally would agree with you, but access at the back is still limited. Your there a while supporting yourself in a very awkward and uncomfortable position. Having something soft to support yourself on helps out a lot. Specially for someone out of shape like me. And totally agree. I noticed a difference in MPG (minor but still there) and better throttle response after cleaning them. And the engine stopped hesitating on spirited driving which was the original reason we did this.

[@richardherm1822]

Have you done intake valve cleaning with CRC or other products with PEA in them? And watching the videos on how to use them they say you should not get it on your mass airflow sensor and looking at the three that are on the 3.5 eco-boost that might be kind of hard to do

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

I have not. When we had the ecoboost , the engines we had ran pretty good. But we were always beating them up, very little sitting in traffic, lots of highway and offroad mileage. I’ve heard a lot of guys that daily these trucks have issues and that may be why.

[@Blue_Flame_Raptor]

I should try this, I have a slightly rough idle and the inside of my air tube has some mud residue in it.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

That 14 Raptor definitely should clean the sensors then.

[@derrickanderson7545]

not sure if you're joking or not, but all 3 of those are Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensors not a MAF sensor, the G2 Raptor doesn't have a MAF sensor

[@Eric_Broome]

Facts

[@hc_hock3y504]

This is hilarious!!

[@josuelin2674]

My truck is 2015 king ranch ecoboost 3.5 That means I have three air flow sensor that I need to clean?

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Yes, same setup and if you ever notice a drop on MPGs or she gets a little sluggish, clean the sensors

[@OutletFork]

Can we get a video on power washing the engine bay please? :D Mine is also all muddy and the mud is causing some vibration with the fans at idle

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Brian Bui dude, you get in there and wash it. Just don’t use it at full pressure washer prearranged around electrical connections. If your nervous, use regular house pressure and leave the engine on. But you will need to scrub some area with a sponge.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

No. As long as the truck is off while you do the work, and don’t turn it on till your done.

[@scottmoebius6136]

Is there more than one maf on a 2015 f150 3.5lv6 eco

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

There are 3 air sensors, not all called MAF, but 3 none the less and all 3 should be cleaned periodically or when you notice hesitation or loss of power from the engine

[@munk469]

Laughed a lot watching this one. Enjoyed the hell outa this episode. If you took the engine cover off would the one at the back of the engine be any easier to get to? I haven’t cleaned any of mine yet. But maybe this weekend.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

munk469 thanks man. Wife always cracks me up out there. The engine covers is more headache than it’s worth to remove. So we kept it in place. No matter what, getting to that back sensor is tough unless you do planks and yoga all the time.

[@munk469]

Keep It Dirty Off-Road well I’m screwed then. Only planks I have are on my fence and yoga comes to me in the form of trying to get off the ground after working on the ground. Lmao. Thanks for the channel.

[@buust1000hp]

There are no MAF sensors on this engine. Huge amount of misinformation here. IAT, CAC, and IAT2/MAP sensors are pointed out in this video. While it's good to clean them, I think you need to update this video clarifying what sensors you cleaned.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

You are totally right on the name of the sensors. Someone pointed that out early on when the video was first released. But aside from the names, everything else is valid man. Cleaning them does make a difference if your feel sluggish performance from the truck. Specially the one at the top of the engine that gets the dirtiest

[@buust1000hp]

@@KeepItDirtyOffRoad Agreed. I've cleaned mine before. I'd update the title and or add and addendum in your title/description for clarity.

[@czts4778]

So the 2015 f150 3.5 ecoboost has a maf sensors? If so is it the first one from the intake. The other 2 are map sensors? Need the information Coz the Crc valve intake cleaner is not good for maf but ok for map sensors. Thanks

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

I think for these types of sensors, the cleaner we used in the video works great. All 3 sensors have an almost i de tidal design. And I’ve done it on both my 17 and 20 Raptor without issues.

[@masonlovesroblox]

Why clean the MAF if your engine bay is dirty AF? If you clean your engine bay, your MAF would stay cleaner.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ clean or dirty engine bay don’t affect performance. But sensors with too much oil or a little bit of dust from a bad filter will. It’s impossible to keep the engine bay clean if you offroad on the regular. Specially when it gets muddy.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Eric Moulton nothing wrong with harbor freight tools. That drill is badass and for the price can’t be beat. Majority of my tools are from Harbor freight. 🤷‍♂️ And like most people I did not spend 60k on the truck. Sticker was higher and I financed it like a normal person. The fact that you don’t know how much a Raptor actually costs and your snobby posts tells me all I need to know about you.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

@@moultonlava72 At a 1/4 or 1/2 the cost of the name brand tools, I'll always get harbor freight. Ive had expensive electric tools like dewalt and ridgid and guess what, They fail too. And replacing them is extremely expensive. HB tools have been amazing and if a battery fails or something fails in 2-3 years I don't have to worry about the replacement cost. it's cheap and the expensive tools usually fail in the same time frame anyway so it's less money out of my pocket and more money for me and truck parts. HB is popular because they have made tools affordable and obtainable. I don't need to show off my tool, I just need to get the job done.

[@danmueller8895]

Just FYI, pull the 2 10MM nuts and pull the engine cover off. It makes the one on top of the engine easy ashell to get to

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

You can. But now your leaning on a uncomfortable plastic intake. I would rather prop myself off the foam cover. Best option is getting a stand up creeper. But the good ones are expensive. So a little strength training and yoga is required for the rest of us.
