That method seems to work on the '97 but not later models.
Depending on how many miles are on the truck (like around 60K)...changing the
O2 sensor(s) is a good idea...but not required at anything below 50K. I had
replaced my MAP sensor (along with several other sensors...Crank Position just
recently) and my mileage did go back up a bit...about 1mpg...nothing
substantial.
What did you modify on your intake? I hope you didn't cut the runner down more
that 1.5"...that really messes up the mileage.
