MAF conversion 2.9

[Nez'sRanger]

I am considering doing a MAF conversion on my 2.9. Just to clarify, I did read the tech article. I live in California, and would prefer the CA emissions package on my truck to avoid as much headache on smog day as possible. Also, I read in the tech article that this conversion makes it idle much better... mine idles like a panting dog on a 110°day, so I'd love that benefit!

However, I don't want the hassle of finding someone to reprogram a brand new ecm, and I don't want the 19lb fuel injectors and the 5.0 parts. I would simply like to swap/add electric components from other 2.9s to give mine a MAF sensor.

My question is, is that easy to do? It it as simple as buying a MAF sensor, a new ecm (already factory programmed), and a new wiring harness? Am I missing anything?

Thank you guys!

Nevermind... Just re-read the article. He lists the injector upgrade as optional, so... I'll be doing it as I free up funds.
Goes to show you what kind of confusion a simple careful reading can fix!
I'm doing the tripminder upgrade, so I'll be able to track fuel consumption before and after MAF conversion. I'll do a separate post about it if it turns out good!
