Thanks!

To all the people that talk about cleaning your MAF. Thank you . I had a kn drop in filter for about 4500 miles, the truck ran better at first but seem to run slower and gas mileage slipped as time rolled by. I bought an AFE CAI to see if that helped the problem and it helped a little but the truck was way louder and seemed to not be able to handle the air. I CLEANED the Maf and WOW!!! Truck is smooth and quick, nice sound when you put the foot to the floor And the mileage is back up!! Average is 17.1 with a soft touch all around town driving, measured the old fashioned way. I can't wait to see what is on the Highway.
This s a great place to learn about our trucks for a non mechanics like me..

I had the K&N drop in for about 3000 miles then I threw it away and bought the AFE . I put maybe 1000 or so miles on the AFE before I cleaned my Maf.
I just unscrewed it from the air tube and Lightly sprayed it with MAF cleaner, let it dry and re installed it. Maybe I should have pulled off the battery cable and reset the computer,I don't know but it worked out fine.
