as long/fast as it will allow you.

Your engine wont blow or anything, just may not drive fast [mine bucked over 20mph] but if your truck drives, then go ahead it wont damage anything.

You can drive until your gas run out, which will be sooner with the MAF unplugged.

my rover threw a MAF code other day..I cleaned it with some electronic contact cleaner and it's been fine so far..might be worth a shot if you plan on replacing it anyways
