Up for sale is my 2000 Ford Excursion Limited. This truck has the well known 7.3 diesel, four wheel drive (4x4), as well as a very clean leather interior. The current mileage is 294,500 but may go up since it is a daily driver. The truck is Burnt Chestnut, Ford color code B4 only available on 2000 Limited Excursions and was custom ordered. I am the second owner of the truck, and I have all documentation of the work performed by me in the last two years, along with recent things done by the previous owner. This is a very well maintained truck that I would not hesitate to take anywhere! I only use Motorcraft OEM filters and fluids. Don’t let the mileage fool you, Properly maintained 7.3 diesels will go 500,000+ miles!
I have done all the work to ensure the motor is good for another 300,000 miles at least. I used the truck for pulling a 14’ enclosed trailer for work but, I have since sold the trailer and no longer really have a use for such a powerful/big truck! I have done many tasteful modifications but I can guarantee this truck was never chipped or tuned! It may resemble and have most of the supporting modifications but like I said I know for a fact this truck was never tuned. This was all done for personal taste and mainly for towing and driving long trips.
This truck was very well cared for by its previous owner and me. The truck has all the longevity modifications done by me to insure that the truck will perform trouble free for many miles to come! A big issue on the 7.3’s is the oil pan rusting out well, this truck has a new Motorcraft oil pan, Newer Up pipes, and a rebuilt turbo. While the motor was out all the block and freeze plugs were replaced as well. All that was done in 2010 by a Wickstrom Ford of Barrington IL. (According to the previous owner, and it shows!) At 272,000 miles I had all 8 Fuel injectors replaced with Ford Motorcraft reman units as well as the glow plugs by, Heavy Metal Performance Diesel in Rockdale IL.
The truck has two brand new batteries and a 100% new alternator done last year.
I have done many modifications to the fuel system for longevity of the injectors. I did the “hutch mod” which eliminates a problem in the higher mileage diesels, there is also a large inline fuel filter installed with a kit from Dieselsite.com. I installed a Fuel Rail Cross system to also help with fuel delivery known as the “FRx” by Riffraff Diesel Performance, you will find almost all of the parts installed came from there. At 286,000 I Installed a 100% new International water pump along with switching to a heavy duty Rotella Extended life coolant that is good for 300,000 miles! The conventional green coolant is no good in a diesel! I also installed a Coolant filter system to eliminate any leftover casting sand from the factory that shortens the life of the water pump. I cannot begin to list everything I have done to this truck; I have always run synthetic Shell Rotella Oil and the motorcraft FL1995 oil filter changed every 3,000 miles!
The Transmission shifts smooth and crisp, I installed an aftermarket Valve Body to help with Fords problem of “sluggish shifts”. The Valve body is a John Wood Valve Body who builds outstanding transmissions and is very well known. The transmission was always serviced every 30,000 miles and again it shows! I serviced it at 275,000 miles with motorcraft fluid and filter, with the Valve body done at 280,000 miles which I changed 10 quarts when I swapped the Valve body. The swap is for towing and the quicker shifts eliminate the slop in-between gears therefore decreasing heat, the enemy of transmissions! There is simply too much to list to go into detail about but I will say it has a Re-built rear end, newer upper and lower MOOG ball joints, many, many new front end parts. The Tires are 75% left on BFG AT tires with a brand new spare! If you are interested in hearing more about the truck I would be happy to answer any questions you may have and help out in any way possible.
I just took the truck on a 1,300 mile trip to Kansas and I got a hand calculated 20.2 mpg! I The interior is MINT with the only wear being on the drivers seat and a small area in the cargo area were a battery spilled. Ice cold AC and hot heat! I have an aftermarket Pioneer AVIC-D1 head-unit installed with GPS and all the standard features. Everything in the truck works, heated seats, power heated mirrors, Power drivers seat and all 3 climate control zones. The 3rd row seat looks barley used and is in mint condition. This is a very nice shape truck.
I would be happy to send you over 100 detailed pictures and gladly tell you more about the truck! Please note that this truck is for sale locally and this auction can end at any time.

Knowing how the bacon gets made rarely entices us and, in the same vein, the same usually goes for knowing about how new cars get painted. But in both instances, however, quality - or a lack thereof - is instantly obvious. In terms of the latter, Ford is showing off its new paint quality process with 3D Dirt Detection Technology to find imperfections in vehicle paint more easily and more quickly.
This process - being performed on the F-150 SVT Raptor above - uses 16 computer-controlled cameras to create a three-dimensional model (inset) of the vehicle to detect flaws in the paint including dirt particles, which can then be buffed out manually. Ford says this new technology cuts down on time spent looking for paint flaws and gives workers more time to correct those that are discovered.
Currently, Ford only uses its 3D Dirt Detection Technology system at three factories (the Dearborn, MI facility, along with those in Louisville, Kentucky and Valencia, Spain), but it will soon spread to five more plants in North America. Ford has released a video and press release for this innovative and unexpectedly interesting process, both of which are posted below.

Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement. Scroll down to read the recall announcement from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or download the full defect notice as a PDF, here.

Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.
