Scott, I do not own a PSD (yet) so take it for what it is worth, eh...
When I do get my PSD Excursion I always said that I'd get the SCMT (Superchips Microtuner). Easy to use as far as I'm concerned...
BUT Diablo has always won the horsepower wars so it made me hesitate a bit BUT Diablo just came out with thier own! It has 4 different settings and looks to be a bit better than the SCMT. Check it out over at www.ford-trucks.com in the Excursion forum.

Ive never had a problem with lethargy in mine so I am wondering if they do something different stock wise for Canadian bound excursions.

If I recall I paid $335 to my door for the 1705 Microtuner... and worth EVERY penny
but you'll have to check...
I may have mine for sale - only had it 4 months and used three times... works fine but I'm getting a new 6.0 liter and it won't work on it...
Make me an offer and we'll try to hook you up...

THanks John Boy but I bought one last week for 317.00 from a distributor in FLA.
It is worth the money,What a differnce!
Maybe someone else will make you an offer.

Shameless plug:

I found a guy in Miami seeling his Excursion stuff before he turned in his lease. He has a DiabloSport "Revolution" chip programmed at 120HP for $150.00, which I bought. I called PDQ (distributor for DiabloSport) and the guy there told me that the Revolution hasn't been released yet and he couldn't understand how I got a hold of one. I had called to find out if it would fit my particular EEC, but since it is a four bank chip, it fits any of them (so I learned).
Well, I installed it and WOW. Blew the SCMT away. Much greater power (and lots of smoke, I might add) at full throttle. Shifts seem a little squirrly, but maybe I need to get used to the change in throttle response.
Anyone heard of this chip?

i have found that the shifts will always be off because these tuners know nothing about how the trans should work.they are after horsepower,they always jack up line pressure(pressure that is normaly regulated by computer after all the sensors have reported.)i just installed a TTS chip and i am very happy with the power.i am working on making these chips compatable with the transmissions.i posted this on the other board,nobody seems interestd so i will stay here with the diesel people.thats what i do.
