I'm pretty sure it will, you have put all the love possible into that 6.0, if there is a 6.0 out there that I would be comfortable would start at below zero it would be yours. Doubt you have even had yours plugged in before but as long as it has a heater it would fine here in the Indiana and I promise I'd never drive it except for June to September.

i know some used dealers will detail areas to hide problems, like clean a engine real good that has a leak and such.

they can be sneaky.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!! Let's not forget Rule #1 concerning Michaels rig (It's a sticky on his refigerator), that being: Stewart gets right of first refusal when Michael has been tortured enough and finally relents and chooses to sell his rig.

You forgot to mention the sub-clause, wherein Stewart must forfeit one of his current 7.3's in order to be allowed to obtain Michael's rig.

Or the sub-sub-clause in where if one FTE member has yet to procure their first diesel X then they are first in line and have 30 days to either get the financing in order or forfeit their rights.

If I'm not mistaken... that would be... me? It's to bad I don't have a credit score of 800 and can't get financed for $75,000 so I guess it's back to you guys

The Black Beast of the East (Michaels rig) would be replacing the red Ex in my sig.

One thing you should always keep in mind Apocalypse, you might spend all you got, finance the rest, get the X, and have a transmission go out on the way home.

**** happens, just keep it in mind it might happen and save something on the side or have an "out" if that should happen.

Stewart, I have to warn you... It's not easy telling people everyday it's not for sale, thanks, it's an 05', its a powermax, it's original paint, I don't have any payments, it's bullet proofed I don't worry about head gaskets, it's Tuned, I get about 20 mpg's hwy, they haven't made these since 05', I can burn the tires off the rims, I have well over 30k into her, I wash it every few day these are the most common replies from my mouth.

I kid you not, at first I was loving the attention but I now have limo tints and my front doors have just a shade lighter. What's really unique it seams to appeal to a broad age group and sex does not discriminate.

My wife laughs every time we are approached by others, whether with the thumbs up, a remark or a question.

Perfect example, when we were on vacation last year I took my white showy rental Bentley to the car wash got 1 compliment. About an hour later I drove in with the EX at least 10 questions and the words bad azz were thrown around like they've never seen an EX.

My previous 100k Range Rover looks so common next to the EX

Or how about the time I went to a fine dining place in south beach and they moved a 100k Benz and had me self park between a lamborghini and a Ferrari. the valet guys were digging it, I had it detailed for the occasion. That night it looked like a 2015 Ex just purchased.

It's not easy to bare all these responsibilities. I guess if I kept her dirty most of these things would go away. However, I do this for me and all the proud Excursion owners out there, think they call it (Represent).

I don't think I'll be selling anytime soon.

Really don't know if you would want such a task

Michael, I was flipping through your gallery and something kept jumping out at me - why did you not get the PTM caps or get the entire mirror housing painted gloss black to match the rest of the truck? For some reason, to me, the plastic plain-jane housings jump out at me in an unfavorable way. IMHO gloss black matched housings would look phenomenal on that thing.

Since that pic, I've installed the OEM mirrors with smoked lenses. I may just dump a few thousand more into her next year. I do like the painted finish, will see
