This label is on the left side of the radiator support of my 04 Excursion, 6.0 PSD. Anybody have any idea what this means?

Last year I had a relative visiting here from Minnesota also with a sticker that looked like that, he claimed that the dealer had to reprogram his truck to stay within government boundaries ( whatever that means ). Claims he lost power and mpg's. also a 6.0

I had never heard of this, that's why I asked you what state were you in.

I guess it's nothing a tuner wouldn't fix.

look up power hungry performance. they sell ficm tunes and can at the same time change your ficm calibration to a different more economical program. the updates have been known to cause drops in mpg and power.
here explains some of it
