    Roof rack lights

    That's good info, I'll have to pick some up and put it on the connector. Thanks BP!

    Fast Idle Switch

    I'll save you two hours of looking and tell you that the blue/white wire doesn't exist on Excursions. F250's and 350's yes, X's no. Bottom line, you've got to run the blue/white wire yourself from the PCM to under the dash. Everything is explained in this thread, just read through the...

    Hi From IA

    PowerSmoker--welcome to SDD! You'll love it hear, lots of great info. There's plenty of fellow service men on the site, too. Good luck on your deployment. Go Army :thumbs

    Roof rack lights

    I don't mind a bit! :thumbs One thing you've got to account for is the depth of the female plug. I chose the location above the back edge of the rear passenger door because there was enough room between the roof and the headliner for the 3 inches or so of housing and then the bend in the...

    Lifted the wife's truck today.

    Awesome looking truck! Has she let you test drive it yet? :thumbs On edit: if you don't mind me asking, how much did the whole thing cost, suspension and tires/rims?

    Fast Idle Switch

    I second WD40's comments. The high idle is especially helpful on hot days when you've got to leave the truck running (ie: family inside) while running into the store--helps keep the AC blowing cold. If you've got to idle for extended periods in the bitter cold when it's too cold to shut the...

    Look what I did Friday afternoon to the X

    Ouch!!:doh:

    Roof rack lights

    I hesitated drilling another hole in the roof (heck, I drilled 15--I think--for the roof clearance lamps), but this seemed like the best way to make it water tight. I'm sure there are other ways to do it without letting water in at the seems, but this method just worked for me. :sweet

    Roof rack lights

    Funny you should ask... I just got done installing a custom built 84" rack on my Excursion with 4 KC daylighters up front, 2 small floods on each side and 2 on the back. My rack is connected to the roof via feet that clamp on the factory roof slides, so it is removable from the truck...

    Bike rack prob help needed

    I think he's looking at hanging bikes on the back of his trailer, not a generator. Point is still valid though--watch the weight. Have you tried Camping World and some of the other camping stores?

    Help with two mods needed...

    I love my reverse sensors, too. I've never had an issue with them getting gunked up in the winter time except for after a fresh snow. Aside from this, they're great for warning of a kid running behind the truck. That being said, if my truck didn't have them, I think I'd rather go for the...

    The Smart Truck

    Not sure we want to open that can of worms.:stir Cool video--is that an 08 with the 6.4? Sure was quiet.

    $$$ Question

    Did you buy it through the MCX exchange auto sales or online from a regular car dealer? If it's the former, you'll be taken care of; if the latter, just be cautious. Whenever I deployed there were always plenty of guys buying cars through the exchange service and they always got great prices and...

    Welcome to the site, DC! You'll love the truck I'm sure. Make it back safe. Go Army, Beat Navy (and USMC)! :tounge Bruce

    I must be getting old......

    How is the weight of the rims hard on the suspension? I figured since the tires were on the ground anyway and not getting lifted off the ground, heavier rims wouldn't make a difference to the suspension. I know they're harder to get spinning (takes more power), but I thought that was about the...

    Whats your opinion

    I agree! Although I've found that an empty wallet is a powerful anti-venom to the new truck bug bite. :doh:

    Whats your opinion

    I'm not so sure I would. There's lots of people out there who'd hack the crap out of a loaner vehicle--then the dealership is stuck with a brand new, untitled vehicle with damage. But I see your point. If a guy comes in to get his $40,000 truck serviced, he's probably a safe bet to give a...

    Reselling a Superchip Microtuner

    Wes-- I had a SCMT and whenever I had a tune on my truck, it was VIN locked. Returning it to stock "unlocked" the tuner and it could be used on another truck. This is just to prevent a guy from buying one tuner and tuning 10 trucks at once. You'll be fine returning it to stock and selling...

    6.0L - issues, solution, and cost

    Keep in mind that your buddies are Chevy and Dodge guys, and what they'll remember about a Ford is the one guy in a hundred who got a bad truck in the early 03 or 04 range. 05 and 06 models may be 1 in 1000 bad ones--you get the point. But don't let them scare you. I bet if you did just a bit of...

    6.0 L starting?

    Not sure, but I sure do get happy when it starts!:tounge

    6.0 reliability

    I've got an early 2003 built 6.0 Excursion with 105k on the ticker and have had a lot of engine problems with mine. The 2003's and some 2004's were prone to more problems, but that doesn't mean that every one of them has problems; in fact, most are just fine. On my truck, the injectors have been...

    GOT LIGHTS?

    Doggone, that's a lot of lights! I've got 4 150W KC Daylighters on my roof rack plus 2 Hella driving and 2 Hella long range lights on the grille guard, but I think you'd put me to shame with your setup!! Looks real good. :thumbs What kinda stuff are you trying to help people find at night...

    Turning off back up lights

    Yeah, I've got a set of backup lights mounted on either side of the hitch. It works nice backing at night, kind of lets me see where the wheels are on the camper when backing. They're mounted low enough that I don't get much glare off of the white camper body, either. My lights are just...

    No Air

    AC Blowing warm, then cold eventually! My A/C starts blowing cold after driving the truck for awhile--today it took about 30 minutes, but after it started blowing cold, it was great. Does this sound like its low on freon? if so, how do I get it recharged? is it somethign I can do or is...

    Quick help with wiring

    Now this makes sense. Pulling the bulb didn't make a whole lot of sense to me because the X's have three bulbs that I'd have to monkey with. I'll take a look and see what I find. Do you happen to remember what color wire it was? I'll give that a shot, too. Thanks for the replies...
