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.

2014 Ford Fiesta Titanium

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

You might not be interested in owning a subcompact (B-segment) hatchback for $20,000. Let's be clear from the get go here: there are any number of reasonable arguments for staying away from the highest-content versions of these small cars. Ford's player in the B-segment arena is the newly updated 2014 Fiesta, and the Titanium trim represents the most luxurious instantiation of the model. We recently were loaned a Fiesta Titanium for a week, whose final sticker price hit $20,390, with navigation being the only standalone option added to the bottom line. By way of comparison, the most basic version of the all new, one-segment-up Mazda3 hatchback costs $19,740 with delivery and destination accounted for, and no options added on.
Hold on to that thought for a moment, we'll get back to it.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack

Sat, May 30 2015

With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.
