Default Resetting the TPS for better mileage?

I've read about this on other cummins forums.. so I'm gonna ask here. Whats up with resetting the tps, how does it work and what exactly does it do? I've read a lot of threads saying it will make trucks obtaining poor mileage get better mileage again?
Seems it may only be on autos but I'm not entirely sure?
