Ordered a new leather steering wheel. The Texas heat/sun is melting mine and I can't stand when my hands stick to it. It still looks good but is getting sticky so its time. It's our sole vehicle now as the 04 is in the process of an engine swap and the 2010 blew a thermostat housing yesterday and I am waiting on parts and zerex. The Excursion won't quit though!

My recent conversation with my wife:
Me: I tried to adjust the steering gear and it is now messed up and we need to replace it.
Her: OK
Me: There is a group buy which will save us a few dollars but I can get it cheaper using a different brand.
Her: That part is too important to skimp. Get the best you can.
Me: OK
I frequently tell her she thinks so much like a guy I am almost gay.

Not gay, married smart! And, "screwed it up so we need a new one", then saying you can save money on one, thats like a sale and women love sales, you my friend are a genius.

Well, if you worked on it and it was screwed up after, maybe your wife needs a new mechanic! lol

Please rep the crap out of Vwags, we now all know what to tell our wives when we want/need a new truck part!

But congratulations on having such a great wife!

By the way it is the part that isn't ALMOST gay that keeps me safe in Cali or anywhere else.

Tranny shop confirmed TC is toast...pulled the pan and metal shavings all over the place! Darn it, just put in the 6.0 cooler, JW valve body, and new fluid...Oh well. Waiting on the shop owner see if they will swap out transmission if I have one shipped to them. IF not gotta tow it to a place just down the road.

4 x 4 vacuum switch
Transmission flush
Rear diff fluid change
Front diff fluid change
Transfer case fluid change
That's all I have to say, about that - YouTube
