Oh hey whats going on man. Yea I decided to keep it. It really wasnt worth selling. For what you get in the excursion, if I sold it, there wouldnt be anything half way comparable that I could get instead. I would still sell it for the right price, but Im not trying to sell it. So have you bought anything yet?

How much of the shaft is showing? That should give someone in here an indication if they will go in. If its about an inch and a half they're probably in. If that's the case have you tried pulling them out?

My buddy's 2000 excursion limited 4x4 v10 had the telescoping mirrors. As I was trying to pull one out to the "towing" position, I thought I was going to break it I was pulling so hard.... but then I thought, if it isn't doing what it is supposed to do, it's already broken. A short time later, one got clipped in the city. I think that mirror was $276 for just the part to replace!

Still looking but in no hurry, I'm taking the family on a 5000 mile trip out west next summer and was looking for something bigger to pull my travel trailer. Like I told you yours was the first Ex that I had ever driven or even sat inside of, all I can say is wow I'm impressed.

Ball joints and tie rod ends, that alone was in the $700 range, the manifold leak was at best $500 worst case was $1500-$2000 without actually tearing it apart to see where exactly the leak was at. From my research here the ball joints have to be replaced about 75K miles and is a common problem, others confirmed the $700 range for having it fixed.

2000 Limited does not telescope
I bought my X new. The heated towing mirror folds but does not telescope. It looks like it should but it does not. Nothing in the manual says it telescopes either.
