Our online store features both Diablo and Superchips performance chips. Diablo doesn't have a chip for your van, Superchips does. Cost is $255. Superchips lists +18HP and +31ft/lb gains for the 92 5.0.

Improve performance on Ford E150

Thanks Ken,
I am new to trying chip replacements. From what I have read this is a simple change out. Are other modifications recommended with the chip, such as exhaust improvements, or should I treat exhaust as a totally separate improvement?
Another question on a different subject. I have had my van stall out on 3 separate occasions, and have recently read about problems with the TFI at high temperatures. Each of the 3 times I stalled out was at high temps (95 deg air plus), while towing a travel trailer. My temperature gage was well within the normal range, but a little higher than it usually runs. The model listing I found on the auto safety website listed the e150 van 5.0L, '84 thru '91, as TFI high temp problems. Mine is a model '92. Could the model '92 have the same high temp TFI problem? Any suggestions
Thanks,
pr
