I can speak from experience from my SD pick up. I bought mine with 134000 miles on it and it now has 154000 miles. It still runs great. Mine had a lot of highway miles on it when purchased. Only problem I had was when it spit a plug and ruined a coil pack. I ended up getting it rethreaded and all the plugs replaced.

I've only had mine for about a week and L O V E it. BUt i've been hanging out in the V-10 Forumn since the '05's came out. And all i can say is i wish they'd a put the 3v in my '05, but it's still better then only running 8cylinder's.

A 3v in an excursion would be a very nice sight. I wonder if anyone has tryed to pout a 3v in an ex and was succesful?

Those will pump a 2V up to around 450+/625+ for around 5 grand.

Monsta, theres no replacement for displacement. No matter what you do to ur 2v, and you do the same mod to the 3v, its still going to have 52 more hp!
Also it'd be cool to have the right to say "hey i have a 3v in my Excursion".

The displacement is the same between the two engines. One has an extra intake valve.
Yes, it would be cool to have a 3V with the Torqshift in the Excursion running through updated 20" wheels, axles & suspension (like the SD) all the while turning 4.30 gears. Ah...a person can dream, I guess.

Then it would be worth it to put a 3v, etc in the Ex.
