    strange surprise under the hood

    That happens when you put the oil cap on top of the battery when it's off. The battery acid film on top of the battery will chew these oil caps pretty fast.:sorry FMT

    I got that deal a couple of years ago when I got my RS9000X shocks from Sam's. They were great to deal with. FMT

    Leaking batteries?

    Make sure to check your charging system output voltage, it should be around 14 to 14.4 volts after the glow plugs shut off. FMT

    Van Turbo Rehash

    I have a 2003 7.3 van turbo that is laying around and would like to install it on my Excursion. I know you need a adapter for the down pipe to make the conversion and eliminate the EBPV but the question is where to get it and what is the differences in the adapters if any and the cost. I mainly...

    I have been busy lately

    Fit right in, some what but some trimming of the header panel is required. You have to cut all the old headlights mounting points off and open up the hole in the header panel for the 05/06 light buckets to fit in. The new lights have a bigger back side to them so this trimming is necessary. The...

    Excursion Tail Light Mod

    I have been looking at the Excursion tail lights and wonder why Ford never used the upper part of the light and installed a bulb there. I took the lights out and found no hole there so I drilled a 1 1/8 inch hole in the rear of the light after grinding the raised up nub off, 1 1/16 would be...

    I have been busy lately

    I never had a Hensley Arrow hitch and not many of them were around when I got the Pull Rite hitch for my 87 Ford van. The Pull rite hitch was taken off the Van when I bought the Excursion and I fabricated some brackets to get it to fit the 4X4 Excursion. I had Pull Rite send me some information...

    Frozen front hubs after only 79k?

    You can put the hub in any old way so making alignment marks is not necessary. I know of no rebuild kits or serviceable parts except for the o ring that seals the locking hub to the wheel bearing hub. The only fix for them being frozen is to spray them with some penetrating oil and try to move...

    Pinion Seal

    The Excursion has a 10.5 Sterling axle in the rear. To replace the pinion seal you want to mark the pinion nut and end of the pinion shaft also count how many threads are hanging out of the nut. I use a prick punch to mark them and it helps in getting the torque and preload back in spec. When...

    Blue CPS

    I have the blue DT466 sensor in the X and it does make a difference in the over all running, quietness and seems a little more peppy. I don't drive the X much this time of year, have a old 92 Exploder for that, but I was impresses with what it has done so far. For the 100 bucks, I would say it...

    Tire recall..........

    If the dealers you were involved in would read the complete recall it's in there about calling Continental/General if the tires on your truck need replacing. Not all trucks and tires are involved and it goes by DOT codes so replacement tires are recorded to your VIN number and old tires must be...

    Any where to get the blue cps local?

    After removing a perfectly good low mileage CPS sensor that Ford was so kind to buy me under warranty and replacing it with a DT466 sensor I would recommend to change your mind. The DT466 sensor has made my X have less engine noise, better driveability, too soon to tell about the fuel mileage...

    Installed V Code & B Code Springs, HOORAY!

    I did the V code front springs last year along with some straight 4 inch F350 blocks I had laying around. I had a vibration when accelerating so I installed some 2 degree tapered wedges that are used for setting the front caster on the bigger trucks, vibration is gone. Last week I replaced the...

    Anyone with a Chipped X?

    The PCM code stayed the same and the chip did disable the PATS system but the thief light flashes like normal so no one will know. I have also rigged some other things that will not allow the vehicle to start but I don't talk about then on these type of forums. FMT

    What speed are you towing at?

    The sweet spot for my x is around 65 to 70 Mph. The transmission stays locked in over drive and will pull most on the normal type grades. I have towed the travel trailer as high as 80 at times but the fuel mileage goes to hell. With the Pullrite hitch this combination is amazing on how stable it...

    Anyone with a Chipped X?

    I am running a TS 4 position chip 50 75 125 140 HP. You need to make sure to get a chip for a vehicle with California emissions to have the glow plug system work correctly. The pats system gets disabled with this chip and you will have a flashing thief light for a few minutes after start up, any...
