Engine repair service in Salt Lake City

I need to get my MAF sensor cleaned on a 2004 Workhorse 8.1 gas engine.

I see there is a Workhorse dealer, Rush Truck Center, but I'm wondering if there are any other options.

I'd do it myself but my arms are a bit too short as the location is in front of the passenger side wheel.

  • I went to:

    AUTO-MOTION
    8054 S. STATE STREET
    MIDVALE, UTAH

    JEREMY
    801-561-3601

    They replaced my air filter and cleaned the MAF sensor. That cleared up my P0131 and P0151 codes.

    Rush Truck Center is the Workhorse dealer, however they don't work on Workhorse gas engines nor do they have anybody they suggest taking your Workhorse to for gas engine repair.

    Camping World suggested Auto-Motion. Thank you Camping World!!!
  • I replaced the air filter a few years ago and had to have my son in law, with longer arms than mine, put it back together.

    I have a right shoulder problem now and along with short arms have decided to have it done.
  • I had to clean ours and it was really quite easy. I got a pressurized can of MAF cleaner from AutoZone and crawled under the front of the wheel. Unplugged the wiring from the housing which is attached to the back of the air cleaner. Loosened the clamp on the air cleaner side of the MAF. Pulled the hose/MAF away from the air cleaner. Sprayed the cleaner in there according to the instructions on the can. Let the fluid drain out and gave it time to evaporate. Re-asssembled and it worked just fine. Reason I had to clean it was that I had been in a severe rain storm driving and it inhaled a bunch of dirty water.... OUCH. Cleaning process fixed it. I now have my hood opening sealed across the top as the water ran down the windshield and into the top of the hood opening right into the air intake...

    Just be careful as the MAF is delicate and needs to be handled carefully.

    On Edit: I might add that it helped a great deal to turn the steering full right to get at the area from underneath... :)
