Bought a 2004 Excursion

Hello Everybody,

I finally found the Excursion I have been looking for. This is a 2004, 1 owner, 6.0 PS, 4x4, Limited model. It has 106K on the odometer and looks like it just came off the showroom floor.

I have a couple of questions but I will post those in a different thread.

Jeff

Wow, in this day and age a one owner vehicle with less than 12k per year.

They are still out there.

Welcome and congratulations. As you can see in my signature, great minds think alike (or at least drive the same rig!).

However, I might be lusting after those running boards. Those look sweet.

Can we have more pics? Maybe some of the inside??


Nice find!
Karl

Sorry it took so long, was out in the X this weekend. Took it from Dallas/Ft Worth to Corpus Christi and back. It was a great trip and put a lot of miles on the X.

I paid $19.5K for this beast and it was well worth it. I have to give a promo for Belman at Russell Motor Company in Mansfield, Texas for this great deal. I have posted some pre-trip pictures, it does not look this good now, sand gets everywhere.

Very nice! That looks like an aftermarket oil filter, they can cause problems. Only use OEM filters. Pop in to 6.0L forum and you will find lots of info. Again, great lookin ride.

Are you talking about the oil filler cap or the oil filter?

Sorry to be so confusing, but I have learned a long time ago not to assume when people ask questions.

The truck is completely stock, nothing aftermarket when I bought it. Since I have attached a ScanGaugeII to monitor a few extra items and will soon be adding a new air filter system, probably Airade, and modifying the air inlet opening behind the grill. After that there will be more additions and some deletions, but I'm not planning to make this a hotrod just a family travel vehicle.

what makes you want to upgrade the air intake? all of my reading seems to point that the factory system is more than adequate?

Is your intercooler tube (to intake manifold) aftermarket? I'm looking to replace the plastic tube in my 05 X and am curious as to the different options out there.
