2003 Ford Excursion Limited, V10, Lifted 37s on 2040-cars

Year:2003 Mileage:80000
Location:

Harvest, Alabama, United States

Harvest, Alabama, United States

This is my ONE owner Excursion with less than 80k miles.  I purchased it in Alabama and have lived here the entire time.  Everything works as it should, nothing needs to be fixed.  Rear passenger brake caliper has slow seep from banjo bolt.  Recent 2500 mile trip resulted in loss of a couple ounces tops.  Haven't bothered doing anything to it.  No leaks elsewhere.

This vehicle has been well maintained.  Oil changes every 2500-3500 miles with Motorcraft 5w-20.  All other fluids have been changed at least once.  New fuel filter twice.  New Battery in 2013.  The rear expansion valve was replaced in early 2012 and AC system was recharged.  Both front and rear systems work perfectly.  Brakes have never been changed and probably could be but they stop well and make no noise at this moment.  The truck was lifted in 2004 and 35s were installed.  The rear end was changed in 2009 from 3.73s to 4.56s.  Mileage dropped a little but acceleration improved and made it more fun to drive.  Gears were broken in for 500 miles and the fluid was changed and tolerances checked.  No noise nor problems.  I had a flat tire and changed the rears to used 37s, but the front are still 35s.  It is 2WD so tire difference is not an issue.  Then I got new tires all around, still 35s in front and 37s in rear.  37s will not clear in front without cutting or more lift.  Tires have less than 10k miles.

Truck has a 5gal air tank, pump and Triple Horn Train Horns.  Horn is switched with stock horn operated by OEM horn switch.  OEM radio has been removed and everything upgraded.  Polk separates and an Orion (old school) sub installed.  The HCCA amp got tired and an Alpine was installed but the Orion SX still powers the rest of speakers.  In dash DVD  with rear AV IN/out is also installed for Game Systems or more Monitors.  It also has a 400W inverter installed near amps for power to monitors and game systems.

I changed all 10 plugs and boots before it hit 70k.  Didn't change COPs but rotated the back 2 as they see more heat and fail first.  Might help prevent that issue.

Truck was involved in a minor crash on April Fools day (in 2005 I think) where someone idles into the rear bumper.  Damage was less than $500 and it was never repaired.  Can barely see little dent in drivers rear bumper near reverse sensor.  No other accidents.  All reverse sensors work and has receiver installed as all of them do.  I have a hitch mounted spare carrier and a spare 35" tire.  I have a couple spare 37s if wanted as well, no extra rims.  One rim has damage from the flat but is only cosmetic.  A run away shopping cart or something hit passenger door.  No abrasion to paint but has a small dent/imperfection.  Has only one door ding as it is never parked near other vehicles without taking 2 spots.  Ding is standard door ding and located near fuel fill door.  It has a Flowmaster Super 40 single in dual out muffler with dual 5" tips.  Carpet has always been covered with mats and is close to new.  No mods to engine or trans.  Most of the standard black plastic has been covered with Line X.  Running boards, grill guard, lower front valance, rear lift glass plastic and wiper, rear plastic bumper cover.  It could use a refresh as is not perfect, but better than grey.  Windows tinted all around.

I might have forgotten something but listed all the bad. Truck gets driven rarely so mileage will increase.  I use it mainly as a travel vehicle and will drive it anywhere without worry.  In 2013 we drove it to SD twice and to FL once.  Can help with delivery for price of gas and return flight if needed.  Excursion gets a consistent 10-11 mpg in the city and 12-14 on the road.  You may get a little better on the road as I always set cruise at 9 over.  Was forced to do 60mph for about 100 miles and it returned almost 16mpgs.  I can take any pics you need, just ask.  I might have left something out so ask away.

Aussie Ford Falcon GT shows its rear end to Lamborghini Gallardo

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

When Ford Australia announces, as it did recently, that it wants to celebrate the end of its Ford Performance Vehicle division with a Falcon FPV GT-F that celebrates big-bore origins of the nameplate, it's talking about the kind of car in this video.
At some point the classic Falcon GT - said to be an XY series - was invited to a test of acceleration against a Lamborghini Gallardo. At the very least, the Falcon GT had a 351 cubic-inch motor and 300 horsepower, but whatever this guy's got under the hood of his yellow sedan makes has him so confident that he doesn't even move his elbow from its resting place on the door.
You'll find a reminder of Ford Australia's heyday, a raucous exhaust note and some NSFW language in the short video below.

Signature Edition Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake to get limited production run

Mon, Dec 22 2014

The upcoming Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang keeps grabbing a horde of headlines thanks in no small part to the pony car's 5.2-liter V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft, magnetic dampers and other go-fast goodies. However, as the new contender enters the ring, Shelby American is saying goodbye to the old GT500 and the company's even more powerful Super Snake version with its new Signature Edition model. Limited to a total of 50 conversions on 2007-2014 coupe or convertible GT500s, the Shelby American Signature Edition packages some of buyers' most common choices into a single vehicle with a few extra touches, as well. The heart of it all is a 3.6-liter Kenne Bell supercharger to replace the V8's standard blower and take power up to a claimed 850 horsepower for the latest models. To keep things running at the proper temp, the mill gets an upgraded radiator, heat exchanger and aluminum cooling tanks, too. The rear brakes are also improved to slow this stallion down. In addition to the boosted power, buyers get some extra style. These special Super Snakes are available in all of the colors available on them from Ford, plus a range of shades for the stripe, and the wide body package can also be added as an additional option. The limited version wears 20-inch forged wheels from Weld that are 9.5-inches wide at the front and 10.5-inches at the rear and feature Signature Edition center caps. Inside, there's a commemorative badge with Shelby's signature on the airbag cover and Signature Edition floor mats. Finally, customers get a day training at the track to learn how to control this beast as part of the package. Orders for the Signature Edition are being accepted through January 31, 2015, and the modded model is priced at $44,995.00, which is in addition to the price of the stock GT500. Read below for Shelby American's full announcement of this limited Mustang. SHELBY AMERICAN'S SIGNATURE EDITION GT500 SUPER SNAKE PACKAGES TO HONOR FINAL 2007-2014 MODEL YEAR CARS NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE · Shelby American to offer 50 total Signature Edition Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snakes · Special badging and stripe colors offered for every model year for first time in history · Offer expires January 31, 2015 LAS VEGAS – Dec. 20, 2014 –Shelby American, a wholly owned subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc. (CSBI:PK), has unveiled a Signature Edition Super Snake package to honor the end of production for the current generation Ford Shelby GT500.

2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.
