New Year EXCURSION Resolutions

Post up what you have planned for your Excursions for 2016!

Myself, I plan to be able to hit the key and have it actually run, haha.
Then, hopefully, a spring swap/modest lift.

Ordered my off roady basket roof rack. Will have to wait till spring to install.

I resolve to order a 12v compressor and misc. air line and fittings so I can finally complete my on-board air (that I started assembling a year ago )

I resolve to install my new rear leaf springs and shackles (sitting out in my barn for the past few months), and make custom air bag mounts to retain my Air Lift air springs in the rear for towing.

I resolve to purchase and install a new stereo, since my factory 6 disc won't play, nor eject the discs that are in it.....

I resolve to use the Ex to go camping more than the 28 nights we did in 2015

T500, airbags, rear swaybar, additional analog gauges.

Biggest by far will be ditching the 38R and going with a new turbo, either S366 or S369.

Just ordered X/mod C codes from ATS, and an adjustable Zone track bar. Also Mrs. Clause got me a Pioneer double din that will be going in after I get a backup camera and figure out what to do for a sub woofer install.

Maybe we can work something out....LOL. My plans include 38r, and stage 1 or 2 injectors, guages, and 4.10 re-gearing.

You still hung over from last night? V10's had the 4R100, 6.0 had the 5R110. There is literally NO way of making the two trans interchangeable due to shift logic and programming.

Maybe we can indeed

38R is still too small for my Stage 3's, so I need MOAR TURBO

My only plan for the Ex in 2016 is to make sure it is still running in 2017.

I think he means to drop a 3V V10 and the 5r110 which were paired together post 2005 I believe. Don't know how he would reprogram the Excursion computer for it though

HEY! I have 3 out of the 4 in common with you. Rear hatch is acting up on me since last week, I need to replace the windshield (dings and seal peeling off around top), and I am moving back to Arkansas when I retire in 5 years
