We need an "Excursion For Dummies" manual to reference once in a while.

Mechanical diodes were used in the 4R100 transmissions on the diesels. Very prone to breaking down.

I agree with JL. Too much rust to have never seen snow and been kept in an air conditioned and heated garage.

very low mile trucks are out there...you can be suspect and with good reason i guess. but somtimes you get that once in a lifetime truck come around.


we just bought a 1999 limited v8 explorer a year ago with 17k miles, owned by a family friend(older lady) who lived here half the year, garage kept never driven in the winter. we paid alittle on the high side for it...but it was bascily brand new.

I agree with JL also. Too many imperfections underneath to be cared for/mileage that they claim. I wish I had taken pictures underneath of this 92' when I traded a tractor for it a year ago. It was parked all it's life in the alleyway of a horse barn. It did look new(decals and all)with just 48,000 miles on it. It's filthy underneath now as I do use it for a truck.

If you read it correctly it says that the "engine" only has 5k on it. My guess is that the engine was replaced for some reason. I didn't see anywhere that the "vehicle" only had 5k on it.
