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.

Auto industry insider previews tell-all book, What Did Jesus Drive?

Tue, 11 Nov 2014



"It's about some of the biggest crises in history. It's about who did it right and who did it wrong." - Jason Vines
Jason Vines, the former head of public relations at Chrysler, Ford and Nissan, has seen a lot during his more than 30-year career, and now he's offering a behind-the-scenes look at the auto industry in his tell-all book What Did Jesus Drive? that went on sale this month.

Ford gives S-Max the Vignale treatment in Milan

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

Ford has a bit of a history in reviving the names of old coachbuilders it has long since gobbled up and using them to distinguish its top-of-the-line models in Europe. That's what it did for years with Ghia, and after having replaced it several years ago with the Titanium trim level, now it's doing it again with Vignale.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Ford revealed the Mondeo Vignale concept in both sedan and wagon body-styles, which are set to reach production next year. But before they do, the Blue Oval automaker is at it again, applying similar upgrades to the S-Max minivan and unveiling it in concept form in Milan this week.
Setting the Vignale concept apart from any other S-Max is its Milano Grigio rose-hued silver pearlescent paint, 21-inch alloys, chrome trim and hexagonal-pattern grille. Inside it's all ultra-soft quilted leather and aluminum trim, with tablet docking stations in the back and thinner, more flexible seats than the existing production version.

Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.
