Looking HARD for an Excursion WTB!!!! NOW!
As the title suggests, looking for an X to replace mine I just sold so I can start on the cummins project.
That will be another thread.
Here is the criteria.
1. 4X4
2. EB or Limited
3. Prefer an 05, but will accept 03-04
4. Body has to be PERFECT! No paint work, stories etc.
5. Clean carfax, NO accidents whatsoever
6. V10 or blowed up 6.oh-oh
7. Under 180K miles.
8. As close to me as possible (Orlando), though willing to ship/travel
9 NO RUST, none, nada, no. Fl car, Cali, Tx etc.
10. Colors preferred. White, black, red, green.
Seat covers, that's a given, no problem. Wheels, tires, don't care. Really want something nicer than average.
I am looking on ebay of course, Autotrader, Manheim, Cl in Fl, seems like almost hourly.
Went and looked at this 03 Limited today. straight body, very nice interior. Opened the rear door and rust fell out on the RB ...

I'll bet I was there a whole 3 minutes... Tood bad, very nice looking, priced high but negotiable.
Anyway please help ? Who do you know FTE?

Not your color, but meets all your other criteria. I would call that affordable considering its condition.

Here is another good candidate:

You could sell the motor and get a couple grand back.

That one in clear lake looks pretty good body wise. THANKS!
As an FYI, I am willing to pay up for a V10, which is primarily what I am looking for. If its got a 6.0, I would rahter have one with engien problems and not pay a premium

Quick question about all these Cummins swaps. Is the Cummins that much better than a Powerstroke to go through the hassle or is it more for the challenge or coolness aspect?
Don't get me wrong I like the Cummins and owned a 2007 Dodge Cummins and had no issue with it, but it seems that there are three factors (outside of the challenge) when comparing engines: performance, longevity, and maintenance cost or ease of maintenance. Does the Cummins have an advantage in any of these?
