Newbie. First Excursion First Diesel

Hello just got my first Excursion yesterday. Black 05 limited with 6.0. Been wanting one for a very long time. Before this I still have my 98 Expedition EB that I've had since 2004. I've been lurking and gathering info on this forum for a while. I'm Super excited to finally join and be amongst what seems like a wonderful crowd of folks.
P.s. Pics coming soon as I figure out how to load from phone. Lol.

Welcome to FTE!






























Sorry for the pause, I had to look out the window making sure it wasn't my Ex you were talking about!

Congrats on your purchase!

Should answer almost any newbie question you have.

Like the truck, but I'm with Michael on the wheels - they're hideous. But if you like em that's all that matters

Welcome to FTE!

Nice Ex! I like the wheels but next time you need tires get a lot more rubber on there.

I can probably get a year out of the tread on those tires. They're 305-40-22. When it's time I may go up to a 50 or 55-22. But not much bigger. I don't plan to go off road much.

Congrats, and welcome.

Smoked cab lights are definitely in order.

Interesting treatment on the headlights.

I won't pick on those ugly wheels.

How's the motor running? Can you take a pic of the engine bay?

This is a great group. Not all bad, just some.
