    Bump Steer

    I traded in my 2001 Excursion for the 2018 F250. The Excursion didnt have the issues with the bumps that the F250 does but the excursion had a stabilizer. There is also a difference in wheels with the Excursion being a 16 inch and the F250 being a 20inch. The comparison with the Challenger is...

    Bump Steer

    It will move the wheel and change the direction depending on which wheel hits the bump. The wheel will move 1/8th of a turn or so. Once I correct it everything is straight again. I drive the same roads with my challenger and I dont get any of it at all. Every after marked steering stabilizer...

    Bump Steer

    I have a 2018 F250 with almost 5000 miles on it. All of my Fords have had a steering stabilizer and this one doesnt. Bumps will move the wheel more than I am used to. Bumps my Challenger doesnt react to. I have looked at putting an aftermarket stabilizer on it but no one makes it without...

    2018 box lights

    I just got a 2018 F250. The box lights leak into the box. When I was on a dirt road looking for an old hunting cabin I had mud running down from the lights. I am putting a topper on and want to seal them so the box doesnt get wet. What have any of you done or suggest? Thanks

    Question 2001 Excursion transmission no forward gear

    I have a 2001 Excursion with 24K on the rebuilt transmission. The trani shop that rebuilt it has gone out of business due to health issues. History, I have manual lock outs due to vacuum leak in the system for the auto-hubs. If I run in 4x4 for long periods of time the heat goes to mix...

    Help Needed 2001 Excursion Transmission issues

    Pulled my 24 foot cargo trailer home friday. Backed it into it's spot. Left the engine running to cool the turbo while I unhitched the trailer. When I got back in, shifted it into drive and it wouldnt move. It will go into reverse but not engage forward. I let it set for 5 hours and gave it...

    Question Cruise Control

    Had the same thing happen. It turned out to be the clock spring behind the steering wheel. My horn also went out.

    Overhead Console

    OK. took it appart today and fixed it. On the excursion : the overhead console is held in with one screw behind the glasses case, 2 clips that pull down in the front, and one clip in the rear with a hanger. Take the screw out, pull down in the front and then the rear. It will hinge from the...

    Overhead Console

    Dose anyone have a good link to a video or instruction on how to repair the overhead console? Mine doesnt light up anymore. It would work if I rapped on the console like a bad bulb but what I have learned is it's a resistor thats got a bad solder joint. I searched the site and the links...

    Question Heater control

    I have next to the vac pump what looks like an electric switch that sends vac down to the frame. I plugged off these lines and still had the problem. I thought that this would be the vac control for the lock outs. Am I wrong? Thanks Chewman
