Talking I got it fixed!!!

I bought my 2002 Excursion 6.8L about 2yrs ago, no less than a week of having it I started to have all sorts of problems. (insert nagging wife here) the biggest of problems was the darn thing started to run very rough and the ABS light cont to flash, then the truck just died (engine stopped, EXTREMELY scary in a intersection) I replaced the VSS in the rear diff.. acted a little better for a while then..no luck. I called around to every ford dealer in town. I got every type of advise from I need more break light fluid to there isn't enough grease on my wobbler pin? point is.. you name it and they told me that it was the problem. so I got the initiative to simplify what I was seeing and hearing. I found that there was an OSS sensor on the tail of the transmission...drove my very intense self up to the dealership and bought myself a new OSS sensor. I got home and replaced it, then I drove my truck under the largest shade tree I could find and replaced all the coils and spark plugs. (insert bloody knuckes and curse words here) Job Done. I thought to myself if this doesnt fix it then I dont know what to do. (i couldnt sell it, my wife might get happy or something)...again the point being...the truck has never ran better, gas milage has doubled and the true power of the v10 has been restored. Oh yea, I found 4 different types of spark plugs in it and 3 different types of coils...?

I love my Excursion, it is the true family truckster!!
