What year is you psd? 1995-1997 may have already kinda have one, you would just have to hard wire it. It is called the EBPV - Exhaust back presure valve. It was put on the OBS (old body style) to help warm the engine quicker. I don't think the 99-03 7.3 had them but I don't know.

I did this to mine and absolutely love it. Especially in the mountains. I took my 5th wheel over to Silverthorne, left it in 5th and never touched the brakes.
I would recomend anyone to put an exhaust brake on if they are pushing the limits on towing.
