Thumbs up New Guy Here!

Thought i would join the forum and say hello as i'm a new owner of a 2005 Excursion with a 6.0 Diesel.
All stock except for a Bully Dog programmer which came with the truck.
This is my first Ford by the way!

Welcome Mike! I'll put the bug in your ear to shop around tunes, spend some time in the Excursion Forum Tech Folder Sticky thread up top perusing all the information, and give this a read as well: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...l#post15168208

Also, we like pictures

Let's see the rig!

















And hide your wallet, we'll empty it for you
