For someone that tunes you seem to have a lot of issues and have to get shops to look over the tunes. I have not forgot your smart ass from last year running your chops on here when you do not get what you need.

Lets c were should I start?? Well I did not make the comment to have the Internet tough guys come out so keep your cOmments to yourself unless u have something to add. As for the people who took Offense to the comment they probably have a guilty conscience. Thank you again to anyOne that threw out any input. Now Mike I have alot of respect for you and you have helped me in the past. I think you are one of the few geniuses in your field. So let's not ruin a good relationship. I meant what I said in my post this sight has changed over the last five years since it seems all the "garage Guys" like myself That have moved On to become experts and vendors and don't like to offer up info. As for tuning I don't call myself a tuner and never will I dabble like most that own the software that's the benefit of owning it. I work 60 hours a week at my unrelated job so the three I get a week to work on my projectS are valuable and I try to get fixes quickly not to mention my anxiety does not allow me to keep a project open too long. It's hard to know everything when you don't deal with it everyday. As for taking my tune to a shop to look at it that is usually what u do when that shop builds your tune there "Internet tough guy". In reference to the custom tubing if you build it in house and "customIze" it yourself I call that custom. I have had three diff. Turbo setups and all intake designs have been relatively the same a custom welded bung welded on in the bend. The only diff. this time is the five inch tubIng. This is much more than most shops will do most people bang it with a hammer to flatten then drill a hole. Once again thanks to everyone that gave ideas. I never expect anyone to fix my issues just toss out ideas. I guess I need to throw out comments more so the computer geeks can get there chance to flex their air lats.
Wow, that's really necessary. While I don't agree with his condemnation of the members here, I do understand where he is coming from, and I do agree that the site has changed quite a bit since it was started, some for better, some for worse.
Agreed! All that was asked was a simple sorry! I would think if the site wasn't up to your expectations that you could find another, and stop bad mouthing this one?
On a side note I get grumpy when I can't figure out issues with my rig as well, But I prefer to take it out on my wife. She can't help fix my rig so who cares if she's mad at me? You might not want to get the folks on the sight that might be able to help you thinking your an a$$ and not want to try to help, but thats just me thinking.
Also sorry I have nothing to offer to try to resolve your issue, maybe its the air filter? Has it been cleaned in a while, just throughing out ideas?
Good luck and please post when you find the issue.

I don't want anyone thinking I am bad mouthing the sight. This is a fantastic sight. Prob. The best. I'm just saying it has changed a great deal in the past four to five years some good some bad. I love this sight it's frustrating many times when u don't have time to completely get to the bottom of a issue and u ask for inquiries which is the purpose of this sight and don't get the abundance of help u know is available from the guys who have run into every all these issues everyday. I will b sure to post my resolution of this issue as soon as I figure it out.
I understand your still butt hurt from getting cocky and banned for making threats and running your chops when you already said you tuned for money. Not everyone forgets your past manners on the site the way you lashed out when you were called out and showed were you post you do this for customers also. Your the one that wanted to be a tough guy when you tried treating me in a old post. The offer still stands I try to make it to most events around the area.
Here is your thread that started making no one want to help you.

And have great day.
There is a huge difference between deleting a dtrinds friends truck for a license fees and making money off of tuning on a daily basis. Not my fault someone took a comment out of context. Trust me my feelings don't get hurt from getting banned from a web site. I get pissed when people try to assume others business especially when they have not a clue what they r talking about. It's very easy to b misunderstood thru typing. I would love to meet some of the Internet tough guys on this site though someday. We should make it a requirement to introduce ourselves by our call signs. Lmao

You can take this for what it's worth, a Duramax will not run properly without a functioning MAF sensor and won't run to it's potential without it functioning properly whether it's in the wrong location, scaled incorrectly, dirty, bad whatever.
Just like any computer controlled engine it relies on the sensor inputs to calculate the fuel pressure, fuel quantity, timing, etc.
If you "Dummy" a sensor or simply disable it by telling it to "Not Report" you might get away with a No-MIL but you still did not fix anything.
I like to say you fixed your "leaky roof" by placing a bucket under the drip, the drip is still there but the leak isn't getting the floor wet. Instead of emptying the bucket why not fix the roof !!
MAF is probably the most critical sensor besides ECT as it has the most effect on the engine.
I hope you figure it out, if you choose to ignore the MAF then you might as well forget about it running to it's full potential.
Just my $.02

Your location is a bad choice. That location probably receives the highest velocity. o your sensor is reading false. If you rotated location 90 degrees, you will get a different reading. Working in HVAC, I know a little about air flow / air balancing.
That's all I have to say. You still want to instigate, I suggest seeing if the grand master guru's over at DP can help. We all know those guys are so much smarter than here.

well i dont understand the condescending remark about DP? They are some of the best guys in the business.!! once again thanks for all the ideas. i will try a few things through process of elimination and let everyone know the results hopefully this will be fixed this week. as far as removing sensor that is the last thing i wanted to do so that option is not a option at all.
I'm starting to think that this forum might be nicer without you. You're at a point where no one wants to help you. Think on it. if you don't give a shit I will make you disappear off this forum for good. Doesn't have to be this way.
