I quit replacing it and started cleaning it every 25-30K miles. Worked great but I would blow heck-a-sish black smoke for a little while until the PCM got all learned up again.
Cleaning was better than replacing, but even that got pretty old after a while. Now the plug is accidentally left off the top. It stays clean, never clogs or sticks, and I don't have to clean it nearly as often.
If you do want to clean it periodically, you can get the o-rings and the gasket at an International dealer a lot cheaper than at the FoMoCo dealer. Ford charged me around 30 bucks for the 2 ring 1 gasket kit. International charges a couple bucks for each.
