I'm running a KN on my 99 4.0l with no probs. I do clean the MAF every service with some alcohol spray. I have also cut out the very front bottom of my airbox for better flow. This also helps when running gas so it doesn't backfire and blow the box apart.
What may have happened is the MAF may have been dirty to start with and then some oil from the filter made it worse?
I've had better economy and take off since I put the KN filter in.

I had the girl serviced by Beechboro 4x4 and asked Marc to provide a hit list of all that is wrong with the car.
later that afternoon, I had a relatively short but possibly expensive list of things that need attention, but nothing that couldn't wait until the next service. At 200thousand km,
A honest and pleasant experience from a mechanic that loves the bloody things as much as we do!
Took the car south, K and N and all and she drove like a dream,
I was warned to take the K and N filter off if I was going on red dirt as the the filters can pack up quickly with the iron deposits.
So all is relatively happy again, going the upgraded bilstien steering damper on monday and will keep my eyes peeled for a right hand fog light on ebay.
