Mostly depends on what "format" you want:
* AutoEnginuity - Laptop software and a cable with an ELM chip
* AeroForce Scangauge - round gauge you install like any other in the truck. Digital LED display
* Snap-On MT2500 with Ford/Diesel personality chips - old-school red brick with text LCD screen
I chose the AE because we have two trucks, and I have a laptop.

I read a little about the AE, sounds like it will program keys also? If so that would of been nice to know last year because I lost the only key I had to the excursion and it cost me over $20 to get two new ones made that would have paid a big chunk of it

I think most on this site would recommend Auto Enginuity from Clay @ Riffraff Diesel: AutoEnginuity Total Ford Enhanced Bundle
