Question Maf Sensor Cleaning?

Hey Guys Is It Advisable To Clean The Air Flow Sensor Between Your Air Filter And The Turbo Inlet, I Do It On My 2004 Ford 4x4 5.4l Gas Trucks Sensor Every Air Filter Change, Would It Be Advisable To Do The Same On The Diesels At A Airfilter Change Or 1 Or Twice A Year For Optimum Fuel Mpg? What Brand Is Preferred If Any And What Would Be The Price Of The Preferred Brand?

Thanks In Advance For Any Thoughts/opinions.

if you're talking about air filter, stock is the best you can get.
if you plan on making SERIOUS power (over 500) then you might look into something like the AFE proguard stage II, but your stocker is the best honestly.

just to clear this post up......titan means if you are making over 500hp (a lot more than just a tuner), then you may want to get the AFE.....the AFE will not make you 500hp hahahaha
