Hey new guy here

Hello, I'm Michael and from oklahoma, I just got my new toy last week and now i'm looking for a few things for it. I bought a 2000 excursion with 6in procomp lift and 22in wheels on 35's, Has a 20in screen in the back and a 6in touch screen with nav in the frount, It has the 6.8L and so far I love it. I am getting around 8.5 in town and 14 hwy with the new chip I put in yesterday. So as of right now I am looking for a good cold air intake for a good price. So if anyone of you has one you would let go please let me know. Ill add some pic's for you...

Welcome and congrats on teh Excursion! You'll find lots of help here as needed. IMO, save your $ on the cold air intake; spend it on some good preventative maintenance.

Welcome to the Ex owners club! I can't believe how huge that screen is, lol. I like the Ex, it is a nice looking rig. Take your time and READ READ READ as they have covered everything you need to do for preventative measures on the Ex to make sure she is with you for a long time.
