    No. Why fix something that isn't broken?

    Not sure what there is to clean, you’ll likely damage it by trying so. If it’s working leave it alone.

    Don't touch them. Only thing that would ever make a difference is replacement with OE parts

    Those who have successfully cleaned the cats per the oxalic acid/citric acid wash and also tried the sensors with the same stuff say no.

    April 1st. The mods have pulled one on us.
    All mine are backwards and upside down. But it’s only you that sees your own post backwards.
    PMs are the same also.

    I also drive a 2010 v6 mostly stock except for duratracs tires stock size tho. And i get anywhere from 17-20 mpg I would clean your throttle body and MAF sensor if you’re looking to improve mpgs it will help a little and keep it under 70 on the highway for some reason our trucks drink the gas over 70 on the highway
