Default Wife's not in a minivan no more!

Just bought my wife a 2001 Excursion Limited 4x4 with a 7.3 on Saturday. Looking to do a few upgrades such as gauges, exhaust and tuner(or chip). Looking for better mpgs and a little more power when pulling a camper. Looking for the best combo. All ideas welcome

Awesome! I'm looking for a 7.3L Centurion. those things are so cool and I am getting bored with my two Cummins. I think a 7.3L would be a fun little head ache/project and a great rig for the wife to haul the kids around with.

Huh ?? ........it's not about hauling a ton of kids.....(even though you could....while towing a 10,000 lb trailer)...... I feel better that my wife and kids are in a 8500 lb vehicle.....
