2004 Ford Excursion 6.0l 4wd Super Low Mileage on 2040-cars
Klamath Falls, Oregon, United States
I purchased this 2004 Excursion brand new. I planned to keep it but ten years later my situation has changed and it needs to find a new home. Here is a list of the items that have been done to both upgrade its abilities and to fix Ford issues mainly with the 6.0L.
Starting with the engine. Professional rework of the engine to include ARB Head Studs, Liberator External Oil Cooler, upgraded FICM and Bulletproof EGR Cooler. If you have done any research on the Ford 6.0L engine these modifications are necessary to have confidence that the vehicle can be used for daily driving as well as towing. Talk to a diesel mechanic, the 6.0L is an excellent engine once these modifications are completed. These upgrades cost over $5000. Also added is a AMS Bypass Oil Filtration System. This system takes a small amount of oil from the top of the oil filter and runs it through a 2 micron AMS Filter. This system is in operation in parallel with the Ford oil filtration system but has a much more efficient filter. Ultra clean oil means super long engine life. AirAid air filtration system. The better an engine breathes the more power it can develop. The oil pans on the transmission and the rear differential have been replaced by Mag-Hytec Units. These oil pans almost double the oil capacity of the reservoirs. More oil equals lower temperatures. The differential cover also has a dipstick that also contains a magnet so you can see if there are any problems. Batteries have been replaced with Odyssey AGM Batteries. These are the best batteries made today for an automobile. Firestone Air Bags with an on board air compressor allow for height adjustment when pulling a trailer. I did not have to use much air pressure but I believe the ride was improved by the addition of the air bags. New Monroe Shocks on all four corners and front tie rod dampener assembly ~500 miles ago. New Napa Super Premium rotors and brakes on the front axle ~ 200 miles ago. I replaced the Ford 4WD front locking hubs with high quality Warn Locking Hubs due to having intermittent operation of the Ford Hubs in winter. It is not acceptable to me to have a feature unavailable due to the OEM's design being inadequate. The hubs do have to be engaged manually however the vehicle can be used in the 2 wheel drive mode with the hubs left locked in and there is no problem doing that. I have installed the following Autometer Gauges to be able to monitor engine, transmission and rear differential parameters. Engine exhaust temperature, engine turbo boost pressure, engine oil pressure, transmission oil temperature to the cooler and rear differential temperature. I work as an operator at a power plant and am able to monitor conditions around the plant with installed instrumentation. Ford did not have the instrumentation that I believe is necessary to monitor your vehicle especially while towing so I added it. Brand new windshield as of 9/8/2014 thanks to a big rock. This vehicle is what I would consider barely broken in. It is ready to go and I doubt you could find a more capable Excursion anywhere. I have a lot of pride in the work that has been done on this vehicle. There are a few minor dings and scratches, very minor and they do not take away from the vehicle at all. If you have any questions or need more information please let me know. . On Sep-14-14 at 10:22:12 PDT, seller added the following information: Couple more items for the Excursion: A Superchips Tuner and Code Reader is included with the vehicle. I used the "economy" mode mainly with the truck and when rolling down the highway was able to get 18 mpg at 65 mph. Not to bad for a rig of this size. There is a Tekonsha Trailer Brake Controller that is located between the oil pressure and differential temperature gauges also goes with the truck. Once again if you need anymore pictures of anything please ask. All maintenance records, window sticker, and receipts will go with the vehicle if you want them. There has never been any smoking in the rig. |

Fields 'required' to use private aircraft, could make $5.25M as Ford CEO this year
Thu, 03 Jul 2014Mark Fields' travels on the friendly skies will soon be a relatively personal affair, as the new CEO at Ford will be required to resume air travel via the company's private planes. Fields caught plenty of flak in 2007 for flying on the company's dime to visit his family in Florida. He's since flown commercial.
According to Ford spokesperson Susan Krusel, who spoke to Bloomberg, Fields (pictured above right, with Bill Ford, Jr. at center and Alan Mulally at left) will switch to private travel "for safety and to maximize his availability for company business." In addition to his new travel arrangements, the 53-year-old exec's salary and bonuses have been revealed.
Regulatory filings by Ford revealed that Fields, whose first day in the big chair was July 1, will receive a base salary this year of $1.25 million and he'll be eligible for $3.5 million in bonuses, both of which are lower than Alan Mulally's $2 million salary and $5.88 million in bonuses received last year. That's also lower than General Motors CEO Mary Barra's alleged $1.6-million salary and considerably less than Sergio Marchionne's $3.19-million fixed salary from Fiat. Despite falling short of other CEOs, Fields' new pay still represents a 33-percent increase over his pay as Chief Operating Officer.
J.D. Power study identifies top seats for your tush
Tue, Aug 29 2017File under News your fanny can use: The seating systems in the Ford Escape and Edge, the Audi A3, Chevrolet Cruze, Kia Cadenza, Porsche Cayenne and Toyota Tundra received top marks in a new J.D. Power study on seating and seat belt quality and satisfaction. The J.D. Power 2017 Seat Quality and Satisfaction Study asked more than 77,000 new owners and lessees of 2017 model-year cars and light trucks to rate their vehicle's seats and seat belts within the first 90 days of taking ownership. The survey is broken up into seven vehicle segments and scored on total seat problems per 100 within each segment, with awards presented to the seating system supplier. Canadian auto supplier Magna won three of seven first-place awards for its seating systems in the A3, Escape and Edge. Ireland-based Adient got top marks for its seats in the Cadenza and Cayenne. Lear Corp. won for the Cruze, and Avanzar Interior Technologies scored highest for seats in the Tundra. J.D. Power says its study is intended for automakers and suppliers with quality and satisfaction information to be used in developing and marketing seating systems. "But the results are just as interesting to a consumer audience," the company says. "After all, some drivers spend a considerable amount of time behind the wheel, and it's helpful to know which vehicles offer the most comfortable seats for those long commutes." Ain't that the truth. Ford was the only automaker whose seat systems, both manufactured by Magna, received top honors in two segments: the Escape for mass-market compact SUV and the Edge for mass-market midsize/large SUV. J.D. Power says it used 22 attributes to measure seat quality, three measures of seat belt quality and 12 to measure satisfaction. Awards were presented to the seating suppliers.

Ford considering return to Le Mans with new EcoBoost LMP2
Mon, 21 Jul 2014If you want to see a Ford racing prototype, you need look no further than the United SportsCar Championship, where the Blue Oval fields two Daytona Prototypes powered by an EcoBoost-branded 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. But according to the latest rumors, that may not be enough for Ford, which has as much brand to promote overseas as it does back home.
That could be why Racer magazine is reporting that Ford may be poised to return to Le Mans in the coming years. As we all know, Ford competed at Le Mans in the mid-through-late '60s, bringing home four consecutive overall wins with the legendary GT40. The new program would not, according to Racer, seek to relive those glory days, but would instead compete for class wins in the LMP2 category.
Currently, LMP2 regulations are somewhat split between the United SportsCar Championship in North America on the one hand and ACO-sanctioned series like the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series and FIA World Endurance Championship on the other, but plans are underway for the regulations to be unified in time for the 2017 season. That could be when Ford is targeting its return, allowing it to compete on both sides of the Atlantic to maximize its exposure.
