2001 Excursion Shocks?

Hey, all. new here, and am inheriting a 2001 excursion, with 319k miles, yes, with the 7.3, and I have a question. The shocks were replaced at 300k, from the originals, any trouble that could potentially come from that?

Thanks,
Taylor

Hey Taylor, welcome to FTE!

I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you asking if problems can occur from replacing worn out OEM shocks with brand new shocks?

No, that the shocks have only been replaced once, at 300k.

Shouldn't be any problems. I would certainly give everything else a once-over though before doing any serious driving. Did you get any service records to indicate what kind of maintenance has been performed over those 319k?

I oem shocks were OK at 165k miles but a little better with new ones.
