    Automatic Climate Control

    No surprise to me either 'cause it has happened to me several times in my 04 Excursion. Just monkey with the headlights and it comes right back on. Stranger than fiction :coffee

    Help Needed '04 6.0 Excursion - Out of the blue had low power, eventually died and won't restart

    Hey guys, The verdict is in. It is the HPOP dang it! $2,200 installed. I wish I had time to do these repairs but I don't. Said they can have me driving tomorrow and with my wife going out of town on Friday for the weekend I have to have my truck. Quick question, while they have the top...

    Help Needed '04 6.0 Excursion - Out of the blue had low power, eventually died and won't restart

    I did not get your message before I had it towed to my Ford dealer. I tried changing the rail and top fuel filters and checked the EGR valve. Still ran the same. I did not get to try the battery trick above. I will keep you posted on what the issue is! Thanks for responding Joe!! :sweet

    Help Needed '04 6.0 Excursion - Out of the blue had low power, eventually died and won't restart

    This one has never happened to me before. Everything was fine and then all of the sudden I noticed when I started going up a hill and stepped on the gas that I was not gaining any power at all. Got to the stop light at the top of the hill, turned into my neighborhood and started to give...

    Oil Pressure Sender Going Out???

    My 04 Excursion did the same thing last year. Totally freaked me out. Wound up being the sending unit. I did not have time to monkey with it myself and let Ford do it while I had it in for something else. So, therefore, I don't know where it is located. Hope this helps!

    Question Emergency brake pedal stuck down - Problem is not the cable but is the mechanism.

    Ok, here is an update. Sorry so late, I have been on Grand Jury duty for the last two days and unable to get on the computator. Well, the darndest thing happend after I left my last post. I went back out to the Excursion, looked back under the dash again at the pedal system. I took some...

    Question Emergency brake pedal stuck down - Problem is not the cable but is the mechanism.

    Ok, I let my 14 yo back my Excursion out of the garage so he could get the lawnmower out. Later, my wife and I were heading out for a date and after I pulled on my brake release began backing down the driveway. It sounded like it released as normal, maybe a little louder. As I was still...

    Mileage Computer / Compass

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys! :sweet Bush, that turned out to be the problem! Although the circuit board design is a little different in the pix in the link and the resitors are even a funky new design on mine that I have never run accross. I found that one of the solder joints on one...

    Mileage Computer / Compass

    Hey All!, Has anyone had to replace their overhead mileage computer/compass? :dunno Mine has been fading in and out for about a year now and I think it has finally bit the dust in my 04 EX LMTD. I know it has some funny math sometimes, but I miss the darn thing for some reason and would...

    Help can't get out of 4th gear!

    I had a similar issue with my 04 PSD Excursion about 1-1/2 years ago. Strangest thing I had ever come accross. Gauges went dead, abs light came on and radio died. I limped it into the dealer, they tested the altenator and it was DOA. Replaced and has been fine ever since. Ya gotta love...

    Oil Cooler 'Ruptured' (former 911 topic)

    You're on! :sweet What are we bettin'? Although now that I think about it... A turbo replacement vs. an oil cooler, radiator, lines and EGR cooler...? :doh: A take my bet back! I think you will win. They are telling me end of this week, I am not that optomistic though! If it is, I will be...

    Oil Cooler 'Ruptured' (former 911 topic)

    All right guys, let's not 'rupture' anything over this :D I think Bush just wants to see pix for edumucational purposes (me too) Trust me, I want to know why this part failed. I definately agree about the slimeillity of some of these SW's, I have also met some fantastic ones too who...

    Bama owes me a mouse.

    Hey! My job has just gotten crazy so it has proven almost impossible to visit during the day. At night, with 3 kids under 9 to play with and get to bed, a wife, guitars to play and TaeKwonDo 4 nights a week and a home theater installation in the basement I am finding it hard to get here...

    Oil Cooler 'Ruptured' (former 911 topic)

    Agreed at this point. I think what we have here is a case of a person that does not realize that words actually mean things. I think his version of 'rupture' is actually 'a leak developed' or 'a seal failed'

    Oil Cooler 'Ruptured' (former 911 topic)

    Thanks for the pix. Not sure how I missed those when I looked the first time in the 60 Bible. Anyway, they had the truck for a long time before I got the call from them with the diagnosis. They had the truck from over night and I got the call at 3pm the next day. He said the coolant lines...

    Excursion Towing Problem Question

    As you can see in my signature, I tow a pretty long, heavy beast of a trailer. Prior to installing a Hellwig on the rear, towing was a little squirly to say the least! Even with a Hensley Arrow anti-sway system installed (which I highly recommend if you have the cash). As you see from my mods...

    Oil Cooler 'Ruptured' (former 911 topic)

    Good idea about the pix! I will check with my service tech. I am only assuming here (and I don't typically like doing that!) that the 'rupture' (that is the terminology that the service writer used, I did not think much about it at the time he told me, to me, a failure is a failure. I will be...

    Oil Cooler 'Ruptured' (former 911 topic)

    Well, verdict is in... It is a ruptured oil cooler. They will be replacing the oil cooler, EGR cooler, radiator thermostat and all of the lines that go along with it! They will also be checking the head gaskets while they have her cut open. If those need replacement, I will be requesting...

    Oil Cooler 'Ruptured' (former 911 topic)

    Well, upon further research of the problem, I am leaning towards a oil cooler problem at this point, which, is a better alternative... I think :dunno Hopefully they can flush the cooling system out enough after the cooler is replaced!

    Oil Cooler 'Ruptured' (former 911 topic)

    Well guys, was hoping I never had to post in this section, but... Went out to get in my X a few min. ago and noticed a puddle under the engine area. To my horror it was black and slick and a good amount. Upon opening the hood, it appears to have come from the coolant tank! :eek: I think we...
