I'd get moving on that van order. SMB West has announced after November 20th that Ford will no longer take orders for van's with the diesel. The diesel will no longer be an option from what SMB has been told by Ford.
I may have to get a Chevy van with the Duramax when it's time to replace my Sportsmobile.
Seems to me Ford is probably just phasing out the 6.0 completely and doesn't have a diesel that'll fit in the vans. Just look how that 6.0 is shoe horned in the vans now!!!! Who knows, maybe they'll re-introduce one in the future if they come up with a smaller displacement diesel w/ enough HP and torque.
In regards to overboost...I've noticed boost as high as 35PSI on occasion in my van when towing a trailer.
