For sale is the Beast of the Southeast.  This 2003 Ford Excursion is a head turner.  It is a fully equipped Excursion Limited with all the bells and whistles of the top of the line Excursion from the factory; such as Power driver and Passenger seats, rear seat DVD, Power windows, cruise control, leather seats, 3rd row seating, and heated front seats.  


This isn't you average everyday mild suburban cruiser.   This is a head-turning, attention getting beast that was transformed into a monster using the finest parts and accessories.  The engine has been "bulletproofed" with Sinister's Complete Solution kit which included the following:

  • ARP head studs instead of the Ford OEM head bolts which stretch on the 6.0 and allow head gasket failure
  • Black Onyx 18mm Head gaskets
  • EGR Delete
  • Ford OEM oil cooler and oil screen
  • Ford OEM intake and Exhaust gaskets. 
Other engine maintenance and upgrades include:

  • Sinister coolant filter kit
  • Suncoast auxiliary transmission filter
  • New OEM starter
  • New alternator
  • New OEM injectors (other six were power balanced and tested good)
  • Ford OEM ICP sensor
  • Ford OEM Glow plugs
  • Ford OEM Glow plug wiring harness
  • 8x OEM injector o-rings
  • New turbo bolts
  • 6.4L fuel rail banjo bolts and washers
  • 6.4L fuel pressure spring upgrade kit
  • Turbo was opened up and vanes were lubed/cleaned to ensure everything spins freely
 Over $6000 was spent on the engine correcting all of the issues with the 6.0L and making this engine a damn reliable everyday driver.  All engine work was completed less than 30k miles ago and I have the receipts if you'd like to go over them.  

Most would stop there with what would be considered a completely durable and reliable grocery grabber knowing the motor is good to go for the long haul.  However.......that would not be a BEAST. 

The following were added while the beast transformed 

  • Donahoe Racing 7" lift kit with Bilstein 5100 shocks, including dual front shock upgrade
  • Donahoe Racing dual front steering stabilizer
  • 22X14 Fuel Octane wheels in mat black 
  • 37x13.50R22 Toyo Open Country MT's that are surprisingly quiet 
  • Road Armor front bumper with new fairlead and D-Hooks
  • Mile Marker 12,000lb winch 
  • Warn Hubs 
  • ARB air lockers for front and rear differential with on-board compressor
  • Air Lift Loadlifter 5000 rear air springs connected to onboard compressor
  • 4" MagnaFlow turbo back exhaust with Chrome 5" tip
  • AFE cold air intake
  • BullyDog PMT 
  • 2005 excursion front end conversion with OEM header panel and Harley Davidson Headlights
  • Kleinn air horn kit with compressor and air tank mounted on frame with "trucker style" chain pull (150 decibel train horns stealthed behind front bumper)
  • Mag-Hytec high capacity rear differential cover
  • Superlift TruSpeed speed sensor calibration
  • Brand New Hawk LTS brake pads with fresh brake fluid
  • 20% ceramic tint on front windows
  • 10" drop hitch
  • Spyntec free spin front axel upgrade with 1.5", 35 spine, chromoly axel stubs and packable serviceable bearings (if youve had a truck with large tires, you've replaced unit bearings.  This is the $2500 permanent fix)  

This truck is 10 years old and has some wear and tear associated with a 10 year old truck.  
  • there is a scratch on drivers side in the clear coat (not to metal)
  • the 6 disk CD changer has a CD stuck in it so it is not functinal.  The radio and DVD player still work GREAT
  • The Retractable running boards would short and default to retracted which isn't a nice drop for my 5ft tall wife from an 8ft tall truck.
    • I unplugged them and they are now permanently down.  You could get motors cleaned and they would likely work just fine.  I just never saw the point
  • The forward edge of the "limited trim" is pealing and needs new backing tape.  Its only about 4" and not going anywhere but I felt worth mentioning.  
I am selling because I have want a 2012 jeep to be a project for me and my sons to build.  Wife says this toy must go before next project begins and I must admit that is likely a good example to set for the boys.  

This truck will be missed here and will make someone extremely happy and popular in and around town for many many thousands of miles to come.

Ford board pushing Mulally for decision amidst fears story is drowning out other news

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Automakers and their executives rarely like to divulge information regarding future goings on, but the board of directors at Ford sound like they're getting a little antsy about chief executive officer Alan Mulally and his plans for 2014.
According to Reuters, as news of Mulally's possible departure to Microsoft continues to swirl, Ford's board is looking to push the affable executive to make a decision about his future sooner rather than later. Apparently, the board is growing concerned that this will-he/won't-he drama may end up distracting the media from covering Ford's other big news events next year - items like the debut of key all-new products like the Mustang and F-150.
So far, the picture for Mulally's eventual successor remains fuzzy, but it's understood that the leading candidate remains the company's chief operating officer, Mark Fields. Just recently, we heard that Mulally will stay until the end of 2014, but a few months ago, Ford seemed open to the idea of him stepping down earlier than that.

Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.

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.
