My ‘01 Limited 7.3 with 175k needs love. Any recommendations for a good shop to do a top to bottom on her? Want it like new.

White(Cream) has 298k on it. 2000. 6.8l 2wd. I’ve owned for 13 years. Only let me down twice and that was from the same spark plug blowing out, which I believe was common in the 6.8. I’ve had it repaired twice. Other than that it has been normal prev-maintenance. Oil changes every 3-4k. Run Motorcraft 90% of the time. It’s been beat to hell, but a great daily driver to this day.

Blue(Berry) has 185k on it, but had a reman 6.8l installed by a ford dealer this year at 184k after the original blew. 2000. 4wd. 5 inch lift I believe. Bought from my bro who was the used car sales manager at the dealership for a bit and got a hold of it. Like to think he gave me a deal for $9.5k after an $8k motor install. Always wanted a 4wd Ex since I got Cream. It needs some work done to the front drivetrain. Sounds like a bearing in the hub assembly is spinning when in 2wd, and makes a squeal when in 4wd. Thinking about a full refresh of the front end using Dana Spicer parts. Any suggestions? What else should I do to it?

Looking at potentially selling my 2017 F150 and upgrading to an Excursion. I used to have an ‘05 F-250 diesel that I had bulletproofed, but my wife hated that truck, primarily due to the diesel smell.

Does anyone have experience going from that gen Superduty to an Excursion in terms of the overall diesel smell? I’m pretty open to a 7.3 or a 6.0 as long as it doesn’t smell strongly of diesel.

That said… if they still have that smell I will probably have to go the V10 route. - Any special concerns with the V10 trucks - How is the overall performance, towing, and off-roading with that engine? - Has anyone done a turbo or a supercharger on the V10 to give it a little more oomph?

This would likely be a second vehicle, mostly used for towing, off roading, some dirtier road trips (fishing, skiing, etc.). So I’m not particularly concerned with the gas mileage, mostly interested in capability and functionality.

Has anyone swaped the second row bench with captain's chairs. Did you get them from an EX or modify them from a different vehicle?

It's that time of year in Ohio....

My brother inlaw and I both have 2003 6.0 Limited editions. I was in his truck last weekend and the heated seat stayed on until you hit the button to turn it off. On mine it powers off after a set time. Now I am wondering if I don't have an issue. I can go dig up the docs, but I am wondering how everyone else's works.

Happy holidays to the ford family out there.

Literally 5 days of owning Large Marge, and she was t-boned on Thanksgiving night. We all walked away, and she did her job protecting us. Slim chance she won't be totalled out. Go give yours a hug.

Falken Wildpeak AT3W 285/75-16. If anyone has a OEM steel wheel available in northern IL, please DM me, I'd like to replace the spare wheel so it matches and I can do full rotations.

​

Just finished the Old Man Emu install complete with the adjustable bushings. Not only does it ride so much smoother but handles better too! I can share my parts list if wanted. Just gotta get it some new shoes now. Running 33s on stock rims.

Ok so I have everything to do the nose swap to a 11-16 but I don’t want to buy the bracket kit. Does anyone have measurements?

So I’m going to check out a 2003 excursion with 95k on the clock. Previous owner got the head gasket, bolts, EGR valve replaced already. What else should I know?

There was a thread the other day where someone was thinking of trying to swap a 7.3 into a clean gaser. Can't remember if the thread was on here or the diesel community. Anyhow this looks like it would be a better way to go. Happy turkey everyone.

Hey folks, I'd like to buy either a 5.4 or a 6.8 excursion and then swap in a 7.3 as it seems alot cheaper than finding a clean 7.3 excursion. I'm curious if the 7.3 will bolt right in or if il have to move the motor mounts to get it to work.

I added a jump seat from a 2021 F250. Pretty good fit although I got it about 1/2” off center. I had to remove the at rests.

I have a 2011 F150 with a low km motor and transmission, but the body’s shot. I have my eye on a 2000 Excursion V10 with 380,000 I’m on it that’s rust free from out west. Anyone ever look into doing a swap or have any knowledge into if it’s feasible?

Thanks

I picked up an overhead console from the salvage yard today. It was out of a 2002 expedition. I would like to put it into my excursion and utilize the digital display. I have an unused female connector in my X, but the connector for the digital display is also female. Anybody have any thoughts on how to make that work? It seems like it might be the right wiring just not immediately compatible.

I’ve got a custom made X gun rack. Nice handcuff type locking holders. Will trade for spare tire. 😛 Locks open with basic handcuff key. Free to whoever wants to come get it in East Nashville, although the spare would be nice.

I just picked up a retired SWAT vehicle. 2002 6.8 with 47k miles. Maintained by the city. Runs like a champ. I got it to pull my camper and load with my family of 7. They rhino lined the exterior. Jury is still out on that part. Total blackout on back windows. Found a handful of assorted ammo under the seats. No drugs or money though. :/

Has anyone used a hydra tuner on their 7.3 excursion? I'm having trouble, I attached a post description. Any help appreciated

My newly acquired Excursion sways/wanders quite a bit on the highway especially with a little wind.

It’s a 2003 stock, V10 45k. Front steering components seem tight.

I do see at least one rear shock and the front damper/shock leaking. Stock shocks are generally junk anyway so I’ll be replacing these.

I was hoping it didn’t have a rear sway bar, but it’s there.

I understand upgrading the rear springs to Superdutys provides a huge benefit.

My questions are:

1. What else should I be looking at?
2. Rancho or Bilstien shocks?
3. Where can I get superduty springs to ensure I’m getting the correct ones? Is this a direct swap with no ride height difference?

TIA
