Got my dream truck
Always wanted an excursion. Just got an 00 Excursion with 230k on it. V10. Would’ve liked the diesel but this V10 is in great shape. I’m posting on here to see if anyone has advise on caring for this beast motor besides basic Maintenance. Looking for a set of hoops for her. I just changed the alternator and battery and she purrs. I’ll be posting pics and updating as I build it. Best 500 bucks I’ve ever spent an a vehicle.

Welcome to the site..
500? Smoke’n deal if it’s in decent shape. Any repair/maint docs to support its service life? 6.8 is a good platform, other than its love for fueling stations... :) |

My father says it’ll pass anything except a gas station. She didn’t come with any physical paperwork for repairs but they are available from the dealer. I just put some money into it. Still have a lot to do to her but as of now she went from under a tree for 3 years to 4 commuter trips to and from Philadelphia. About 45-50 miles each way. Not a great commuter vehicle but after almost being seriously hurt in a 2016 Quest, I’d rather pay premium fuel prices and keep myself and my family safe. Here’s a list of the things I did to get it road worthy: Steering Box Steering pressure line Front brake pads Front brake rotors Rear brake pads Rear brake rotors 1 caliper in the front 1 caliper in the back Brake line from abs to the back Rear brake hose Both front brake hoses Front brake lines Front hub locks Tie rods Drag link Upper ball joints Lower ball joints Front steering stabilizer Rear u bolts and u bolt plates Windshield Alternator Battery Cup holder Headlight switch Left rear door handle Air filter All 4 tires and the spare tire Rim One tail light Both headlight assembly’s Front shocks Rear shocks Oil change Fuel filter Gas cap Alignment Front end links Front sway bar bushings Passenger side window motor A/c recharge Fuel Filler Neck Cat back - Flowmaster 40 series and tailpipe |
