How many Excursion owners

[Bloodhound]

How many Excursion owners are here. Year and engine.

How about an Excursion owner wanna-be?

I'd love to have one, but I'd suffer too great of a loss on my Suburban if I got rid of it.

I love the one I bought my wife. 3 months ago they wanted 32 k for it. I bought it a month ago for 21k. Fully loaded with dvd for the kids. 18 mpg @ 75-80 mph. What more could you ask for.

What more could you ask for.

Nothing really. That sounds like a good deal on the one you just bought!

Things I like about the Excursion that I dislike about my Suburban:

Diesel engine available
solid front axle
lock out hubs
lift kits are strong (unlike IFS lifts for Chevy's)

How do you like the Bilstein's?

Love the Bilstein shocks.

They ride well, siffened the "feel" of the truck and when I thought my front ones went out, Bilstein corporate sent me two new ones.

I purchased from www.eshocks.com

When you buy 4 shocks, UPS shipping is free!!!

Best deal I could find and this dealer is a large volume Bilstein retailer.

If I could find one in good shape for a good price i'd be a owner

 

[Bloodhound]

They shouldn't be hard to find now.

What Up? Just found this forum, was about to click on FTE. Is this a Texas based forum?

See a couple people I know in the 6.0L section. '

Anyway, I have a X.

2004 6.0 PSD
6'' lift 35'' Tires
53k miles

Cannot say how much I love it, though I did modify my house so it would fit in my garage.

Do not drive it that much. ( Tank of gas will last a month or so ) When I need to go somewhere and the wife is home just hope in her burb. Normally just use it to tow my Bass boat to the lake, or to take myself to the airport.

I am going to try to keep it forever. If in 10 yrs I have to do a ground up rebuild, I will. If the engine blows up, I will get another one. It is even more cool now with everyone driving go carts!!

Take Care,

ECA

Hopefully within the next week I will be able to officially join this group. on Monday I am starting a road trip down to Chicago to take a look at an Excursion that I will more than likely buy.

2000 6.8 4x4 Limited 4.30s and 90K miles

Nice...but put the factory grille back on it ASAP!

 

[nobodyspecial]

I am just hoping that is one of those clip on pieces. I am pretty sure its just an insert thing. I like original much better, too.

 

[LEB Ben]

Man that's sweet...the exact setup I want for an Excursion...if I ever get one.

 

[RangerPilot]

I love that Excursion, but yes, for the love of God remove that grille!

Can't be real good for airflow.

 

[nobodyspecial]

Taking a look at the other pictures, it appears to just be an add on to the original grill, thankfully.

excursions are awesome. I wish I could afford one.
