Hello intro from dieseldope

Hi everyone , I am a newby to the ford forum. Glad I found a home here with the Excursions. Mine is a 2000 limited 7.3 l and its stock . I look forward to helping anyone out and no doubt will ask help. I do all my own repairs and am a diesel mechanic for 30 years. It has 267k so far but is getting rusty being up here in new england.

no idea where why you are post this but it seems highly inappropriate. How about keep your non excursion opinions to yourself.

patriot

noun
pa·​tri·​ot | \ ˈpā-trē-ət , -ˌät, chiefly British ˈpa-trē-ət\

Definition of patriot


: one who loves and supports his or her country.
