Dodge Ram Mass Air Flow Sensors & Components

Air is an important substance enabling the engine of your Dodge Ram to start and run. But the air quantity required for its operation has to be accurately measured before mixing with fuel and entering the combustion chamber. It's the task for the mass air flow sensor, which is also called the MAF sensor. Without any doubts, it's one of the most vital components of your pickup’s air intake system. Right from the engine start, it reports about air quantity to the engine control module, so that it could calculate the correct amount of fuel to be injected into the cylinders. Failure of the MAF sensor typically lights the “Check Engine” indicator on a dash panel and switches the engine to the emergency mode.

Typically located between the air filter and intake manifold, the MAF sensor can be of several types – hot wire, cold wire, and vane, but the hot wire type is the most common one. If your truck’s MAF sensor malfunctions, the control module gets wrong information about air quantity and becomes unable to provide the proper air-fuel mixture. As a result, your pickup will lose power, and its engine may operate unstable. Luckily, you can find state-of-the-art Dodge Ram mass air flow sensors and components made by ACDelco, Dorman, Crown, and AEM on our virtual shelves.
