It's a 2000 Excursion Limited... It's not diesel; I really couldn't afford diesel this time around. It's a V10 gas guzzling hog of a thing but I really like it so far. I'm in Santa Fe, NM.

It's a 2000, great shape, only 60,000 miles, garage kept, one owner, picked it up in Utah where all the Excursions are!

One thing, though, it's missing the headrest on the backseat drivers side... wondering if I can still get that from a dealer.

I think the 2000 still had the spark plug issue. And with that low of miles I'll bet they havnt been changed. Check around on the V10 Forum and see what they think you should do about that.

What should I search for? Keywords? Thanks, man. BTW, this is 25! Thanks to all of you for your help. I wish I could give more than one rep but it won't let me!

The search is kind of a mess. I usually type my search in google followed by "ford truck enthusiasts"

Alternatively, at the top of most forum sections (Superduty, Excursion, V10, etc) you will find a thread called the "TECH Folder" or something similar. These have lots of invaluable information in them.

Here is the V10 Tech folder:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...ch-folder.html

Head over to the V10 section and introduce yourself, and maybe ask about your spark plugs.

Does it really bother you that much? So what if he sends his PM and leaves. He will never have a change to be a good member if no one welcomes him.

I really do appreciate the help that I've been given and the welcome. Everyone here has been nothing short of awesome! You're right that I probably won't be a member that's on the forums a whole lot because I just don't have the time with my family, 7 kids (one a newborn with a heart issue) and a business (much more than a full-time job really). But I will offer what I can and really appreciate what I receive!
