I would say the major cause for suffering fuel mileage is the overall mechanical condition of the truck. Things such as hung up brakes, improperly inflated tires, a clogged EBP sensor/tube, worn injectors, boost leaks, etc., will play a major role in fuel mileage. I am sure once you start going through everything and fixing what is wrong or broken, you will find better fuel mileage at the end of the tunnel.
Also, bigger tires never help with mileage.

but anyways.
it doesn't hurt to clean it. to check it you have to take it off.
Sometimes they get cracked and they just cause a boost leak.
