Where to find MAF sensor

Pulled a 34 code, and my MAF is shot. I need a new one, anyone know where I can get one (preferably a better piece than the $350 Bosch original piece). Autozone or Advance or anybody carry a larger MAF for our cars?

Just because you have a code 34 doesnt mean the MAF is shot. Your computer in your car is stupid, it really doesnt know whats wrong, its just making a guess.

Make sure you dont have any vacuum leaks. Check the wiring, especially near the MAF itself. And do a search first, before you buy a new MAF that you quite likely dont need.

Yeah man, I knew that usually the 34 code is off, but for once it actually told the truth. I got so frustrated when nothing I did made it go away, I ended up having the chevy dealer run a diagnostic, and sure enough the sensor is bad. I appreciate your trying to save me money though . Is the wells one a direct replacement, of is it that modified LT1 MAF someone told me about. I want to be able to swap them out quickly and not do an hours worth of work over a sensor, and would like to contine to look semi-stock if possible.

The WELLS Maf is a direct drop in for the stock one.
