After discovering that I actually have a remote start system in my truck, I also discovered that my passenger side tow mirror doesn't like to defrost but all other power functions work. Not horrible yet but I am in North East Ohio and it is getting cooler out, I don't remember if it worked this past winter when I got it or not. Probably about time to pull the door panels and see if it is something stupid like being unplugged. Other than that I put about $130 into the fuel tank yesterday and am getting almost the same mileage as my wife's 08 Town and Country.

 

Man I want your lift!! It sure would make working under my Monster a lot easier!!

 

So the other day I actually touched the mirrors on my truck after it was running for awhile. They do get pretty darn warm! I was shocked!

 

Went to grease my hubs via the ABS sensor hole (with Riffraff's awesome tool) and found out why my brakes were inconsistent and pulsating like warped rotors: stuck/sticky slide pins due to the incorrect slide pin grease being used and torn boots.

Off to O'reilly Auto parts.....

 

They must love you

 

Getting EX ready for a little getaway about 500 mile round trip to anna Maria island (west coast of Florida).
My checklist: 1) Fill Fuel tank


It's great owning a bullet proof 6.0 if you don't believe me ask Toreador_Diesel ( he can't lie he's a moderator)

 

10 passenger seating?

2005 ford excursion diesel

 

10 lil people.

It may have the "optional" luggage rack seating for two uptop.



It's just down the road in Green Bay go check it out, one-of-a-kind.

 

They added another 2 seat behind the 3rd row. Wonder how they mounted it.

 

Yes, you can see the rear two person seat in the one pic. Can't be a factory option was it? The whole X looks to be a weirdly optioned X.

 

Possibly rear facing. How else could it fit and how else could lil people have access?

Yes, an XLT with Leather, keyless entry, steel wheels.

 

I'm willing to bet it started life as a base model work truck spec (police, fire..ect)

Dead give away is the vinyl rear seat and cloth front seats. They mis-matched a lot of parts on this thing...for one the front bumper pad being black, it would have been white from the factory.

 

They almost know me on a first name basis with the business I do there because of my friends and their vehicles.

They're having an O'reilly coffee mug made for me too, lol! (Kidding)

Bulletproofed 6.0's are AWESOME! They're the Viagra of Diesel engines!

The power, the mileage, the smile you always have on your face

The ONLY downside is that you have to stop driving after 4 hours due to an un-intended side effect. Lmbo!

 

NJ squirrels have struck again. Truck was outside for just 2) weeks, so I reckon its time to send the daughter back out on a mission. Might have to re-armor/upgrade her from the Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle (with a compass in the stock...& laser sights) to the AR.
For a truck that hardly ever gets driven & spends 48 weeks a year in a cozy barn hibernating, she's been the target of some bad luck lately.



Better things to be doing on a Sat afternoon then fixing this.....

 

Washed, clay barred and waxed the X today!
