    PTO idle up mod - 2003 Excursion

    Hey Bruce, Been working like crazy here and have not the opportunity to check in.....sounds like dissapointing news. I appreciate you trying though. It sounds as though you are not certain you had a good connection at the PCM. Does anyone know if a programmer or chip can be had for the...

    PTO idle up mod - 2003 Excursion

    Cruised around the lake checking out anything that changed, ate lunch in the cabin, then caught a few crappie, all in all a fun day with the wife and kids! I ordered a DVD manual off ebay, going to wait till it gets here to see what I can do with this mod....if anything.

    PTO idle up mod - 2003 Excursion

    Digging for details before doing anything. OK, had time this evening to look at my PCM and connectors. Followed the instructions I found on FTE and everything was right on the money. The PCM connector closest to the firewall, removed from the terminals: The front of the connector...

    DVD tab broke off

    Careful driving them screws too deep Bruce, might get into the bottom edge of the screen. How about JB weld? I use JB Kwik weld alot, other than that a plastic solvent might work, and then really baby it. Would magnets affect the TFT screen? I know it's a no-no with CRT tyype sceens as it...

    PTO idle up mod - 2003 Excursion

    Looking at a Ford OEM dvd for $24.00 on ebay. Well Bruce, not to rub it in, but we're actually breaking a slight sweat here in central NC........only for today. The high is going to be 80° Then back down to a cool 55 tomorrow. We have been spoiled this winter with mild temps. I have had the...

    PTO idle up mod - 2003 Excursion

    I'm try to look this afternoon, we're in a bit of a warm spot and it will be close to 72 later today, then cooler for the weekend. I have a school function to attend for my oldest daughter so it will be tight. I'm buying the DVD manual off ebay in hopes of identifying the correct pinout for the...

    PTO idle up mod - 2003 Excursion

    The way I see it, we either drill out the harness we have onboard now, or buy one with the wiring already there. I'm not too sure of terminating the coonections of a new harness just to gain a needed wire, that would look suspect for certain! This guy drilled out his harness and got a wire and...

    PTO idle up mod - 2003 Excursion

    Het Tex, You're right, just buy the wire, but for a factory look and no drilling, you'd want to buy the harness. The harness would be a way to do this mod and not alert the media of tampering with the PCM if you bring it in for warranty work. I don't know which way I'll go, but I don't want...

    PTO idle up mod - 2003 Excursion

    Just found this from FTE: ********************************************************* If you've been following the thread..... I hooked it up tonight and IT WORKS. All you late model Excursion owners can have SEIC (Stationary Elevated Idle Control) and it will only cost you $5.95 and about...

    PTO idle up mod - 2003 Excursion

    Been posting on TDS on this as someone over there asked. Just had a reply that the X has no PTO options, but if a wire is ran to the PCM, it will work like a charm. I just wonder if I'll have to add it to the harness and connector or if the wire is hidden there....lurking.....

    PTO idle up mod - 2003 Excursion

    DVD Hey Dave, Thanks for the info. So to understand you, the PCM for the Excursion, E and F-series vehicles are the same unit according to the technical manual. Does it have circuit (wire) 322 on the Excursion PCM? I believe the color code should be light blue/yellow stripe? If so...

    PTO idle up mod - 2003 Excursion

    Anyone have a hack for this? I've been all through the Body builder files with no luck. If the X had no option for PTO, then there may be no option for the high idle mod.

    PTO idle up mod - 2003 Excursion

    Maybe I didn't mean to say "AIC mod", but idle up PTO mod? Did the Excursion have a PTO option at all? Since the X is a brother to the F250, there must be a way........ I won't have time to look for any wires during the week, maybe this coming Saturday. I'm keeping my hopes up this is...

    PTO idle up mod - 2003 Excursion

    Dave, I have a funny feeling it's somehow different on an Excursion. I assumed the same setup and could not find the wire I needed by the parking brake harness. I found the wire by the OBD connector very easily. I actually looked for a good while, but no luck, didn't feel like cutting into...

    PTO idle up mod - 2003 Excursion

    Anyone here done this on an 03 Excursion? I'm trying to find the correct wires to add in a switch but not having much luck. The white/light blue stripe wire by the OBD connector (wire 294) is easy to find, but I can not find, the light blue/yellow stripe (wire 322) behind the fusebox as...

    Where to buy power/heated/signal towing mirrors?

    I did last week, and was a little confused by the bleak description. I submitted a question via the web form, but havennt heard anything back yet. On Excursion, the description is "Paddle swing lock", on F250m the only drill down I can find is Front door/outside mirrors/mirror assembly/...

    Where to buy power/heated/signal towing mirrors?

    New (to me) X owner here, changed from F250 w/7.3 due to needing more seating area for the family. The Excursion has the small paddle mirrors and I need to upgrade as I tow a boat, utility trailers and hopefully a large travel trailer later this year. Anyone have any good sources on these for...

    Who all tows a boat with there PowerStroke

    Don't slam me....but I own a Bayliner 2252 Cuddy Cabin and have had great service from it. Our family loves going out cruising, tubing, fishing, and sightseeing. Weighs about 5000 lbs. fully loaded with gas and water and the F250 tows it very well. (Large picture) If I had the F350...

    Talk about the 7.3L CPS Here!

    I have heard of this before, but does it happen to all 7.3's regardless of year? I have an 03 with 33k on the clock. Maybe I should pickup a spare for my glove box too?
