Last week I switched teams after owning 2 95 6.5L Diesel Suburbans I upgraded to a 2003 Excursion with 7.3L Power Stroke.
I love the X even if it is an inch to tall to fit in my under ground parking spot

My first diesel was a 1995 2WD Suburban that had its transmission lines break on the highway and basicaly melt the transmission in to only forward gears. I had that rebuild and in two years it had 2 more rebuilds under warranty it lost all hydraulic pressure on a cold winter day any I was not going to pay for a forth rebuild for it. After a lot of searching a found another 95 with a cracked block and had my 65 swapped in to it. I put 4" exhaust and a heath turbo max and maxtork program on it and it still lost speed towing a 4000# 17' travel trailer up a small incline. I've had 3 TDi's as well Oldest Daughter still drives 02 Jetta wife has 05 passat

I have a road trip from Ontario to Miami coming up to take the family on a cruise this christmas so it was either 5 adults in my wifes 05 Passat Tdi or I get a new road trip vehicle


besides that I live in Hamilton Ontario were I am Maintanance Manager (over paid super) of a big glass building full of high priced lawyers. If I'm doing my Job I only actually have to work for about 4 hours a week so I have a small wood shop in the building and I work on my vehicle in a nice warm underground after hours (except the excursion because I will have to lower it to get it in)

Any way this looks like a great site with a lot of good people that are ready to help a guy out and I am always thank full for the help

 

Hi, welcome to the site! Safe travels for you and your family!

 

Hi , may your Excursion treat you well! It`s a bummer that it`s too tall to fit in your under ground parking spot.
