Excursion replacement (FYI)
I was looking through the auto news sites this morning, and found one of the first articles I've seen on the replacement for the Excursion - here's the link:
http://www.auto.com/industry/exped9_20020809.htm
As some have figured, it's going to be a lengthened Expedition...though I'm curious if they're going to keep the independent rear suspension, or go with a solid rear axle like the F150. This explains why I haven't seen any new parts in the design stages for it - because the components we make would probably be shared with the Expedition.

LK,
"Environmentalists had no problem defining the Excursion as a symbol of sport-utility overkill."
Geez, now I'm public enemy #1!
"Overkill has no problem defining the Environmentalists as *&%$%@^$#!
Well, at least I'm still defining the segment.

MAN! Overkill? Or overcost?
I want to know how you like your Superchip. I have a similar setup, not quite approaching the cost of yours. With all the performance mods, I still feel it's a dog on the freeway. But absolutely no problem in 4 low on a 35 deg incline!
