The PMT boxes (or DPC-422 family in general) are better because of the more desirable torque converter clutch apply strategy than what your XLE4 has. In all actuality, the PMT1 is regarded by many as the best base program Ford ever put in a 7.3L Powerstroke......it was also probably the shortest-lived.

More power? Slightly........but only because the DPC-422 PCMs were designed for 140cc AD injectors and the stock programming reflects this. Fuel mileage may also go up because of the better resolution in some of the tuning tables (slightly more "fine" adjustment).

It requires nothing more than finding a PCM out of a 49-state 99.5-01 automatic truck that says "DPC-422" on it where your current one says "DPC-402".....oh, and programming your chip with PMT1 programs.
