Hey Everybody!

I am new to this forum as I just purchased my first Excursion. I bought a really clean 2002 7.3L Diesel Ltd, in Mineral Grey and I am really enjoying it!

I've read through some of your posts and this looks like a very good forum for an exchange of great ideas.

My wife and little girls refer to it as "Da Bus." Yeah, a little corny, but my girls love being able to see out of a vehicle for once.

Wow, what a nice welcoming! Thanks everybody.

I will take and post some pics as soon as I have 3 hours free to wash the behemouth. It's a bit riddled with cecada juice presently and I want to "represent" properly here. It's mostly stock in appearance and my mod's list include an S&B CAI, Magnaflow 4" exhaust with 3.5" downtube, and a programmer.

....as for the Steelers? The last time I played any serious football was in High School.

Da Bus, I picked our 02 at Phelan Chevrolet 3 years ago. The price was way under book so we lucked out there. After I made the deposit, the salesman received several calls wondering if the price was right...he said too late it is sold..You will love the vehicle. Not perfect but you can find a pile of info here on this website. Just cruising this forum helped me to make the purchase.
