Price Paid

I paid about 36K for my 2004 Excursion Eddie Bauer 4x4 PSD. That was with a $3500 incentive on the diesel from Ford. I still own the truck and it has about 37K on the clock. I have done quite a bit of customization on the 6 liter engine. I had the engine bulletized, replaced the FICM, installed an enhanced turbo charger, 120 amp alternator and rear air lift kit. I'm currently running with an 8K custom towing tune that I installed with my SCT tuner. Truck has plenty of power, no lag and on our vacation this week was getting 17-20 MPG pulling our enclosed cargo trailer. It looks like new and I plan to keep it until you can no longer purchase diesel fuel....

Welcome to FTE! We need pics of your rig!

Curious, who did you get the tune from? Who wrote the custom tune?

Gearhead will suffice.

Matt is pretty well known and is one of the top 3 (or 5, depending on who you talk to) tuners in the 7.3L world of engines.

Must be a real unicorn he has, what with a 7.3 in his 2004 and all...

LOL, Matt, Matt, Matt...I wasn't saying gwrace has a 7.3L. I was simply identifying Matt from Gearhead as being in the top 3 (or 5, depending on who you ask) tuners in the 7.3L tuning world, which means Matt from Gearhead is very well known.

I have no clue if Matt is also considered to be in the top 3 or top 5 in the 6.0L tuning world, that's why I didn't include the 6.0L PSD.

Bring it back

The ultimate nichemobile. Why not. The ultimate babyboomer mobile. How
many babyboomers can you cram in an excursion. The super soccermom mobile. Ok I'll stop. Man I couldn't afford one. But I sure would like to create another go round of hummer owner envy.
