What did you do to the X today?
Completed the front X-code swap with billet track bar, new sway bar end links, and ended up needing a new pitman arm. That's when I discovered that the PO had put in a 2003 steering gear box and the pitman arm I ordered using the VIN was incorrect. I'll fix it Monday, get an alignment, and then maybe post some pictures. Gained between 1-1.5" in the front. The back B codes and rear sway bar are on order and should arrive sometime over the weekend. That will fix the backwards rake I have going on now. The dual fox front steering stabilizer was backordered, that will be the third phase of my suspension/lift/drivability fix project.

Nice mods guys.
Nate, cutting stuff isn't too hard, but cutting stuff without destroying things you want to keep is a bit harder, haha!
Alex, don't worry too much 'cause I can solder about as well as you do. Makes me nervous for learning to weld...
Soldiering, on the other hand, I was pretty doggone good at that.

Done install. I don't like drilling holes in the Excursion so I dug out the mechano again and mounted the switches to my Torque mount. 1199 RPM... Must have done something wrong. Also cleaned up a rats nest of wiring from previous installs such as extra interior lights and running board lights. Everything is colour coded now and neatly zip tied (ish).

what app is that? also what mount are you using looks like one i would like to have.
KC is correct with the Torque App. I paid $5 for the app, $8 for my bluetooth OBD2 reader, and made the mount out of Mechano from when little me was into that and Lego.

The tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2) was free from my newspaper subscription and even has free GPS built in. Torque Pro will also read and clear codes along with reading engine stats.

Why not just use motorcraft? Also wasn't it penzoil that is close to wax?
I had my dealer pull an OASIS on my Ex. It was built on July 27, 2005 and started its life in Miami, FL on 8-11-2005. It looks like it was an A/C problem child more specifically blower motors and A/C boxes starting at 655 miles to 14,000 miles. The rear end was rebuilt at an early mileage and experienced only 1 diesel failure, an STC fitting at 59000. I purchased it with 74,000 miles on it in 2010.
After installing my 4" ProComp Springs to lift my rig 6" I noticed that my rear
was about 1.5" lower than the front. No big deal, but still annoying to me.
Also there was a light vibration around 30mls/h.
To cure both in one step i ordered an set of 4" angled Lift Blocks to replace my 2.5" OEM Blocks.
That was the best Idea ever. It runs now very smooth and balanced as it has now a very nice stance.
Look at my drive shaft angles.....
