I just purchased an '01 Excursion 7.3L PSD with 32K miles on it...local diesel performance shop says it's in great shape. I traded in a '99 Suburban. I will be using this for towing about 85% of the time. I got 6-8 mpg towing with the Sub, looking forward to much improved mpg with the X.   Currently in the shop getting chipped and adding air intake. I bought it 300 miles from home after an extensive search. I have to travel two 9500' passes to get home, and the X wasn't even breathing hard going over...nor did it downshift at all.   I think it's going to be just fine. And I'm always open to constructive advice.   Oh BTW, this is my first Ford and my first diesel, so I'm not giving any advice just yet.

Replying to: dyestar (Jul 24, 2008 6:39 am) We have a chip from Edge Products, Evolution. be sure you get an exhaust temp gauge when you ship your rig. We are now lookin into getting a 4" exhaust as suggested from a mechanic that races his F250. Great vehicles we just love it. The web site for the chip is edgeproducts.com
#53 of 58 Chip by summutt Jul 25, 2008 (6:28 pm)
I'm getting the Edge Juice with Attitude. Haven't tried it yet...still in the shop. Also getting intake/exhaust. Next stop will be dealership. It came with only one key, so need xtra keys and keypad programming. $95 plus cost of keys, about $27 I think. Strangely, with all the gauges in the Attitude's arsenal, there is no tranny temp gauge, so I'm having one installed..my mech is doing it on the cheap for me.   Last stop will be me and my local mech...just down the street and can do anything...and we'll address the rear suspension. Starting with the Roadmaster Active Suspension (RAS) system. If expectations are met, may be all I need. Replies to this message: forddriver2 (Aug 04, 2008 3:45 pm)

How big a differance am I going to really notice? between the two?   Will it be gigantic or some?   With the diesel power is it really worth changing?   Thanks, Jimmy D

Replying to: KarenS (Oct 17, 2001 7:52 am) My husband and I just bought a 2005 Limited, Black exterior and parchment interior. It's basically loaded with everything but the rear entertainment system which is fine because we don't have people traveling in the second row for any length of time.
