I did go to the trouble to clean mine, but I saw no difference afterwards. I honestly don't know that anyone has ever noticed enough of a difference to be able to say what the symptoms of needing to clean it are. Just an easy maintenance item to check off.

Can cause decrease in power and MPG's. I also noticed no difference when I cleaned mine and it was packed good, though I'm sure it helped since the pcm was making changes to correct the clogged sensor.

If it is completely plugged up it will ignore the sensor reading. Here is some more information on it: ECSD - Exhaust Back Pressure (EBP) Sensor - 1994-1997 Power Stroke FAQ

what does that bring you down to for mpg? i wouls suspect the tube clogging up would be a more gradual decline. so i would say it's the winter blend.
after doing all the stuff to my truck im trying to establish if there is any mpg increase....im on the first tank since getting things straight and im trying to keep my foot out of it. it may be a lost cause with the winter blend and the increased idling time for warmups.

While running and under load and boost the EBP can reach as much as 50 PSI.
Edit: Sorry but I can't remember what my EBP is at any given speed.
