   If your truck has the 4-cyl., it only has Bank 1, and this makes sense that   
   the MAF could be the trouble. Another thing that can make a lean is a vac   
   leak and an errant O2 Sensor. Cleaning and looking for the leak are the   
   proper approaches. Spending money on a sensor is the wrong approach. RayO   
   has a test procedure to check the sensor output if it comes to the O2 Sensor   
   as the fault.   
      
   If you have a V6, I'd expect the MAF to contribute to a lean in Bank 1 and   
   Bank 2, which would discount it as part of your problem -- you did not   
   report a lean condition in Bank 2.
