There is something called a "Bully Dog" that the service guys mentioned.  Apparently it's some sort of tuning device that works through the OBDII port and allows you to "tune" the engine and transmission for the type of performance you want. Pricey, but sort of cool. Dan --- On Tue, 6/8/10,

I Assume you are referring to the 7.3L Power-stroke. Very good engine, big power from 1995 technology. Mine has almost 300Kmi. About $1500 in engine related repairs along the way. Can it be 'chipped'? Yes, you can also poke a rod thru the pan if you like. I'm guessing a 4wd F-350 weighs #700
