Q
overhead read-out elect question etc...
I just noticed on my overhead read-out that it always sez "-40", both on F and C... ...that is unlikely, so anyone know the problem? Or more important what I worry about is that the engine management computer is seeing that same number? The climate control readout is fine. I have been...- quietman

Q
36 month/36K mile REPORT (warranty stuff)
I had doubts myself, and if you add the big tires, rancho SS, shocks and welded broken track-bar mount (see link) I had my doubts. However the service writer/dealer didn't bat an eye or say a thing, just got it done, and judging by the tool marks, while aligning the front end they adjusted my...- quietman

TECH: Rear sway bar (install)...worth it's weight in gold!!

2005 Excursion Track Bar Weld/Bracket Update
Well thanks to my father-in-law it is fixed. Took less than an hour and is 10X stronger than stock. The Original welds were just layed on top of the metal, no penetration.

2005 Excursion Drag Link Bracket Weld failure
You are correct, my mistake. The bracket is the Track Bar/SS bracket. The lift is a 4" one that fabTech sells and they say no mods were required to the track bar mount or track bar. I replaced the track bar with an adjustable one anyway, about $150 extra. Here is the blog on the lift...- quietman

2005 Excursion Drag Link Bracket Weld failure

Yesterday i noticed the steering suddenly becoming vague and that the wheel was no longer centered when driving straight ahead. Examined the front suspension and discovered that the welds holding the Track Bar! to the frame had failed. A closer loook revealed that most of the bead...- quietman
