Yeah. It is a Catch-22. Most cars would have required this service 3 times by now so the parts wouldn't be as seized together.

Afternoon all.

Looks like a nice rig Michael. Good luck with the laundry list.

I was out on a ride around the yard last night. Tomorrow we will go on a longer ride. I predict the last time for a decent ride.

Thanks ... the list will get done over time. Nothing major. Some of it is just because it's time and hasn't been done before.

I guess if getting back to point A was important then you would have bought a Ford

Keeping my wife happy was important too. She didn't like either the Excursion or the Expedition. The Expedition EL was out of our price range. I doubt either the Ex or Exp would fit in my garage. This barely does.

The EL is a couple inches shorter than the Excursion if I remember correctly. It is also 2" taller than the Excurison which puts it 4" taller than the Suburban. I only have an inch or two of clearance with the Suburban as it is. The EL is about 2000 lbs lighter than the Ex.
