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The oil pans on the transmission and the rear differential have been replaced by Mag-Hytec Units.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.

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.

This is what a 3D-printed liquid metal Ford Torino looks like

Sat, 12 Oct 2013

Artist Ioan Florea has encapsulated a 1971 Ford Torino with 3-D-printed liquid metal transferred onto the car using technology that he developed, and the result is a stunningly shiny, seamless design.
"The surface has the highest coefficient of reflectivity never achieved before," Florea told us in an e-mail, using "nano-materials and nano-pigments that create an internal three-dimensional structure and dictate the polymer how to behave." Sure... We'll leave it to him to make any more 3-D-printed liquid metal-transferred art pieces.
Florea grew up in Romania, and the motivation behind picking the old Ford as his canvas came from his childhood memories of what an American car is - "big and wide and fascinating," he says - and the European name of the car itself, which it shares with an Italian city.

2020 Ford Escape hybrids vs other crossover fuel sippers: How they compare on paper

Wed, Apr 3 2019

Along with a new generation of Escape, Ford also reintroduced the world to the 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid. And if that weren't enough, Ford is adding a plug-in hybrid version. This is a sign of the times: people are more crossover crazy than ever, but are also seeking ways to use less fuel, whether it's for environmental or purely money-motivated reasons. The Ford hybrids aren't the only fuel-efficient compact crossovers on the market. They will be going head-to-head with conventional hybrids including the 2019 Kia Niro, 2019 Nissan Rogue Hybrid and 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. There are other plug-in hybrids including the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek PHEV, 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and the plug-in version of the 2019 Kia Niro. There are even a couple diesels in the form of the 2019 Chevy Equinox and 2019 GMC Terrain. So we've rounded up the details on all these crossovers to see who leads and lags in criteria such as power, fuel efficiency, space and price. Check out all their details below. 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid View 68 Photos How do their engines and fuel economy compare? Conventional Hybrids and Diesels Let's face it, if you're buying one of these crossovers, one of the things that matters most to you is just how frugal with fuel they are. We'll start off with the conventional hybrids and diesels, and the clear victor is the Kia Niro, which in base FE trim, manages to hit 50 mpg combined. This is thanks to it sharing its powertrain with the Hyundai Ioniq, the Hyundai equivalent of the Toyota Prius. Buyers should take note that only the FE returns such high fuel economy. The LX and EX drop to 49 mpg, and the S Touring and Touring get 43. Even then, the least efficient Niro is the most efficient of the normal hybrids and diesels. It is nearly the least powerful, though, with 139 horsepower. Just behind it is the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. It delivers 40 mpg combined, and it has an ace up its sleeve: it comes standard with all-wheel drive. Every other vehicle in this powertrain group has front drive standard, and the Niro isn't available with all-wheel drive at all. If that weren't enough, the RAV4 Hybrid also boasts the most power at 219 horses. While we can't say anything about Escape Hybrid fuel economy, we do know that it will make 198 horsepower, which is close to the class-leading RAV4. The least powerful of these is the Equinox and Terrain, and they return the worst fuel economy at 32 mpg.

Ford reveals automated Fusion Hybrid

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Autonomous cars may still be in their infancy, but more and more big names in the auto industry are diving in head first. Nissan is already making strides with a semi-autonomous Leaf EV and General Motors is planning to offer semi-autonomous tech by 2020. And then there's Google, doing its thing with a fleet of Toyota Prius. Now, Ford is showing off its latest automated effort, a driverless Fusion Hybrid.
Partnering with the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and State Farm Insurance, the project is part of Ford's Blueprint for Mobility, the company's plan for transportation beyond 2025. "The Ford Fusion Hybrid automated vehicle represents a vital step toward our vision for the future of mobility," Chairman Bill Ford said. "We see a future of connected cars that communicate with each other and the world around them to make driving safer, ease traffic congestion and sustain the environment."
The automated Fusion features four LiDAR infrared sensors that scan the road 2.5 million times every second, using a principle similar to the echolocation used by dolphins or bats. Using the infrared light emitted by the LiDAR, the car can draw a picture of everything within 200 feet to create a map of its surroundings. According to Ford, the sensors are able to tell the difference between a paper bag and a small animal from a football field away.
