PP Race-
I've been thinking of putting a chip in my Excursion- have been reading about them at the ford-diesel.com website, but there's a whole lot of varying opinions? I have picked up on the fact that the X needs a special one because of the security key.
What makes the one you mentioned different/better?

Here's a good site if your looking for factory specs. It looks like it might be a dealer training site.Ford Training

THIS CHIP IS 4 BANK MODULE SPECIFICALLY PROGRAMMED FOR YOUR VEHICLE. YOU WILL NEED
TO READ THE ECU CODE FROM THE DRIVERS DOOR(A SMALL WHITE STICKER WITH 4 LETTERS & NUMBERS). THIS INSURES THAT THE PROGRAM PUT ON THE CHIP MATCHES YOUR EXCURSION.
ITS AMAZING HOW MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE THERE IS AFTER YOU INSTALL IT.
IMPROVES REGULAR DRIVING & TOWING PERFORMANCE!

THE CHIP DOES NOT REPLACE THE FACTORY CHIP.
IT PIGGBACKS ON TO THE ECU BOX AND REMAPS THE VECHICLES FUNTIONS.
SIMPLE PLUG IN INSTALLATION
DOES NOT VOID FACTORY WARRANTY

PP Race- Thanks for the info!
I wasn't looking for anything too radical, just a boost in towing performance and (hopefully) an increase in MPG. How do these chips measure up to the Banks and Western Diesels in price and performance?
Just want to get it right the first time! I think I'm going to do the "v" code springs, Helwig rear stab bar, and rs9000 shocks as well.
BTW- we'll be down in your area Feb 21-25 to hopefully get a chance to run the AT we purchased in December- maybe we can get a chance to meet?

THE 4 BANK CHIP RUNS ABOUT $450.00.
IT IS BY FAR THE BEST ON THE MARKET. I HAD OTHERS IN OLDER DIESELS THIS ONE GIVES THE BEST ALL ROUND PERFORMANCE WITH A CONSERVATIVE PROFILE. IF YOU CHANGE EXHAUST
AND ADD AN EGT GAUGE YOU CAN GO TO A MORE RADICAL PROFILE( REALLY FOR RACE APPLICATIONS)

WHAT SIZE A/T DID YOU GET?
E-MAIL ME WHEN YOUR COMMING & WE CAN GO FOR A BLAST

Use the Hypermax stuff. They test the engines for International. The owner was one of the designers of the 6.8 7.4 and branched off to start his own company. Ford will warinty most of his stuff

I have always wondered why the manufacturer (Ford in this case) doesn't use/market the hi-performance chip themselves? If they increase hp, torque and mpg doesn't it seem obvious that they should? Any insight?

Just wonderin',
Sean :)

seanclong, THe reason they don't get too crazy is the fact they are selling people these trucks that rely don't know how to drive them right . THey don't understand why it is important to warm them up and never make boost while cold . And also why you should idle them to cool them down before shut down . THey think you just jump in and floor it ! More power and more boost when cold means more blown head gaskets cracked heads and skuffed pistons !
My neighbor is in the resque squad and he did it twice! Pulled out cold and floored it . Blew 2 motors in one month ! :eek: Sold it and bought a gas engine fro that job .
