Hey Everyone!

New to the Forum thought Id say howdy, just got a 2003 6.0 L Excursion after wanting one for a loooong time! Drove about 5000 miles around the country last month using it as my overlander. Definitely a fun truck.

Couple issues with it but I am hoping it will be a fun project to learn a lot more. Might ask some advice in the future. Till then...

Congrats on the new truck! I too just bought a 2003 Excursion 6.0 about 2 months ago. Make sure if you haven't already to monitor your delta temps, and get a blue tooth adapter and Torque Pro. I use TP to keep an eye on mine. My delta's were around 24° before my flush, now I am at 6°. If you have any questions I am more than glad to help you.

Welcome aboard. I found that if you put a 4" lift with 35" tires you will get much better MPG`s
