  1. V-10 to diesel swap?

    Hi Guys, Starting to explore the option of swapping the V-10 in our Excursion for a Diesel. Has anyone done one before? Is the cost worth it or would it be more cost effective to purchase an Excursion with Diesel already? We love our Excursion and makes traveling with the 3 kids easier and...
  2. Rear suspension

    I feel like it was loaded pretty even and not too much up front.I did have the bars adjusted but might need to play with them some more.At stock height it sits pretty low which is normal for this model truck and never dragged going over any bumps once we got in the dirt.
  3. Rear suspension

    I have a 2000 Excursion 2wd with V10. We recently bought a 21foot toy hauler, the truck pulled it with no problems the first trip out. The issue I have is even with a weight distribution hitch it really sagged the rear end. The trailer loaded down is about 8k pounds. Would you guys recommend...
  4. Draining Battery

    So my truck(1990 F350 4x4 460) had been running just fine. Last friday night I parked it at 1230am, I come out in the morning at 10am and find the battery dead. I jump start it off my wifes truck and chock it up to the radio staying on when I shut the truck off. Take off drive it for 30 mins...
  5. Gear oil for Dana 60

    Hey guys I want to change the lube in the front and rear axles. What do you guys recommended.
  6. E4OD Violent Shifts

    Have you checked the timing. My truck was doing the same thing as the distributor was going bad. New distributor and timing set correctly all shifts great. Also clear the codes before setting the timing.
  7. Trailer light connection

    My truck only has the flat trailer harness connection. I need to set it up to use the round connector with trailer brakes for a toy hauler. Any one know how to do this? Or what parts I need.
  8. Engine shutting off

    Just thought I would update you all on this. After I got it back from the shop and i cleared the computer and reset the timing with the new distributor she has been running great. Has a little miss at idle, going to check plugs.
  9. Tilt Steering Wheel

    Thank you Cliff. I can again drive in comfort.
  10. Tilt Steering Wheel

    So last week some guy approached me about a trade for my 1990 F 350. I had let him look around the truck and he tilted my steering wheel all the way up. I now have no clue how to put it down. Can some one please tell me how it is annoying to drive it this way. Thank you.
  11. Had the day off, the Bronk got some love

    Man I thought those were all beers cans. That's what my driveway would look like.
  12. Engine shutting off

    So I took off the idle air control valve yesterday and cleaned it up and cleaned the throttle body. I'm still getting a little miss at idle and I get a check engine fOr it as well. I tested the sensor for its voltage and everything checked out ok. So would that mean the valve itself is going...
  13. Engine shutting off

    Ok will do. I tested the sensor and pulled it off the valve but didnot pull the valve. Yah I'm done throwing parts at it now.
  14. Engine shutting off

    So today I it up pulled te codes which it had a few. Set the timing by the book and test drove it. There is a huge difference with the new distributor( burn outs with 37 inch tires). But I keep getting codes for the TPS and EGR Sensor, I tested them per the book and all ok. I still feel the...
  15. Engine shutting off

    Thanks guys. I have it back now and will pull the codes tomorrow. I have replaced the coil already with no change. And I will reset the timing by the book. I just got to a point where I was at my wits end last week. Do you guys think a computer could cause this? They said they pulled an...
