How many here love there Excursion like I do?
 
I have the motor out of mine at the moment and have been without it for 3 weeks now I Realized how much I miss it . I have a 2004 Black Limited Edition that I just paid off. I now have to replace two cracked heads , but I don`t have a 750.00 car payment. They are not making the anymore either which is crap if you ask me. Just wanted to see how many here love there Excursions.

BKID- I am with you! I have an '04, I have a bunch of mods to make it bullet proof and last longer. Next up is the spring swap this summer! And new tires and wheels:tu:
I have a new job where I am driving more, Everyone else is driving small foreign cars, I drive something I am comfortable in!! So I don't make a ton of $$ on mileage...oh well

I am right there with you Rugerocco , I love the comfort of this vehicle. I am driving my Mustang GT 2006 now and it is fun but not comfortable. It is my drag racing car.

I would scoop an X up in a heartbeat if I could find one for a reasonable price. It's amazing how high their value still is.

BKID you can get new excursions, just not from Ford. :tu:

Chelsea loves hers...

I got my wife a '05 4x4 with a 6 liter. We have 6 kids with #7 on the way and every one of them loves the X... I feel good knowing that my family is rollin in the "tank" (kids named her). We average 15mpg and are pretty dang happy about that, seeing how her armada only got 8 if you babied it. She is happy with it and yells out, "lady I don't swirve so, LOOKOUT!!!". :w2:

Only have had my 05 Eddie Bauer for just over a month but love this thing, I enjoy it a ton more than my 03 Suburban Z71 I had. Now they only question is what to do to it first?

1st thing to do is buy a BD or Bulletproof EGR cooler if it isn't already done! Some people preffer to do the delete... 2nd & 3rd are a toss up in my book, either a SCT tuner with custom tunes or the rear sway bar off a F-350 (30mm compared to the 20mm it came with).
Thinking that maybe the 1st thing to do is test your FICM to make sure it's putt'n out 48volts...

The Ex came with a 4yr/48k bumper to bumper warranty so I wasn't going to do a egr delete yet since I don't want to void the warranty. I haven't had any problems with cold start & or anythint with it, usually she starts after 3 or 4 seconds so I think ficm is ok right now. I was actually thinking of first buying the edge cts monitor so I can keep an eye on all the temps to give me a heads up on when something is on its way out. Do you have any experience with the cts, like it or not? Then maybe some 4" exaust, but not sure how loud it will be and i dont want to make it unbearable for the 5 kids & wife. New to diesels so not sure really where to start but I have definitely been bit by the diesel bug. I can see this turning into a very expensive hobby.

got mine in December. Wife has adopted it, I get eth luxury of driving her 08 focus. However we have put 4k on it since purchased and it runs smooth and great. 315/70/17 on moto metals. I want to bullet proof it but will wait and save for it. I have not done any hard core off roading, however it handles sand, hills, and mud decently.
