Yeah but they cheated.....Most fuel efficient GAS v10 suv?

 

Its not what I did as its not my truck but wanted to share what this fella did to his Excursion. I didn't get into discussion to find out everything on it but some may have seen this already. Took photo with owners permission as his truck was parked at Sheriff station in San Diego.

 

It is a Diesel but couldn't confirm if 7.3 or 6.0 but sound of it made me think 6.0

 

I saw that truck up close at SEMA it was pretty neat, little rough around the edges at that time though.

Well, they are calling for snow, so my Ex will still be looking good in the driveway.

This was last night.

 

I'm trying to keep the bile down...reminds me of the late '70s - '80s attempts by Detroit to sell "performance" by slapping a decal on a Mitsubishi.






Yeah, it's a Shelby

 

Got a new toy today. Haven't used it yet, but seems like it will be sweet for working on almost anything under the hood.

 

You under estimate the value of the ground effects, plus the silver paint is extra better!

 

where did you get it? I would seriously like one. And if you don't mind, how much was it? I have to keep within a fairly tight budget. Sometimes I really don't like being an adult. ........

 

Here's a link:

 

I bought one of those 2.2 turbo Shelby Chargers new back in '85, I had just gotten my new job (still there today!) and needed something more reliable than my '69 Camaro.
When it wasn't exploding (not so reliable it turned out....) it was a fun little gocart that could run with the era's Mustangs and Camaros on our hilly curvy back roads. The factory installed Goodyear Gatorbacks made the car totally undriveable in the wet, that was changed with a set of BFG Comp T/As. After 5 years, 89k miles, a few head gaskets, all of the freeze plugs (rotted out), several water pumps and finally a grenaded transaxle I passed it on to a guy who kept it running for at least another 10 years. It was a cheap little car ($11,500) that as one of the first performance oriented front drivers was fun to drive when it was actually running.

 

Eric, be sure to provide some feedback on that Topside Creeper once you have had the chance to use it, of course with a V-10 that may take a while.

 

I've had mine for several years. It is a HUGE, HUGE asset when working on the truck. A real rib saver!

...and knees
...and elbows
...and shins....

 

That's the one from Amazon.

It seems a revolutionary improvement just climbing up and looking around.

First job will be a power steering pump on the white "other brand" truck. Those Chebbies, gotta fix or repair them daily!

 

Leaving MD for Texas. Stopping to fill up on snacks and water before hitting the road.

 

Ordered a set of the Rancho 9000XLs for the front and rear of the EX. Rancho has a rebate program on them right now. A set of four 9000XLs will get you a $100 gift card back.
