The King is back

I bought a new Excursion back in 2002, but ended up trading it as it too big for my lady. Every since I missed it; finally I picked up one just like it but with the full row second seat. I am new to the forum and glad to be on board.

I have the same story but with a twist. Bought a Ex in 2000 for the wife. She broke a mirror off twice, backed over are mailbox, and backed into a 4" pipe fence post! Just to big for my 5'3" 110 lb wife. Since it would be too expensive to get rid of the wife Sadly I sold the Ex. When I had a chance to buy another Ex I jumped on it. Unfortunately since I bought it I've gone into some kind of mod addiction free fall! I can't seem to stop!

Since you have a 6.0 PSD, I'll borrow a term born in the 7.3L PSD forum, but it still applies to you since you have a diesel Ex too: You have PMS. Powerstroke Modification Syndrome.

It's a sickness with no known cure.

Actually it means that whenever the Excursion acts up you are entitled to brooding, moping, and being short in conversations. Blame it on the truck and say you're sorry to get away with it

I keep everyone on their toes by NOT being an a-hole for 1 week each month.

It's easier.

I really think it would be important to have a thread built, and put in the tech folder, that describes the various illnesses associated with our vehicles.

A public service announcement "warning" people of the dangers of FTE and its various diseases.

It would be a shame to spread this to unknowing and innocent people.
