2004 Ford Excursion 6.0l 4wd Super Low Mileage on 2040-cars
Year:2004
Mileage:69000
Location:
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 The oil pans on the transmission and the rear differential have been replaced by Mag-Hytec Units.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. |

Ford hit by lawsuit over hybrid technology from, surprise, Paice
Fri, Feb 28 2014The name Paice will be familiar to anyone who's been deep in the weeds of hybrid history, but it will probably be new to anyone who simply drives one. The key part of the story is something called "HyperDrive," which is the name given to a gas-electric powertrain technology developed by Alex Severinsky and patented in 1994. HyperDrive is a way to get the energy from both the electric battery and the engine into the wheels, seamlessly. The patents are held by Paice, which is an unusual company (its HQ is a house in a retirement community, right by a golf course) that does nothing but litigate. You can read more on Paice here. The latest case targets Ford and the hybrid and plug-in versions of the C-Max and Fusion models as well as the Lincoln MKZ. Paice claims that it held "over 100 meetings and interactions with Ford" between 1999 and 2004, and gave the automaker, "detailed information about the hybrid technology that Paice had developed." The suit also alleges that: For more than five years, Paice answered inquiries from multiple departments within Ford, believing in good faith that a business relationship between Paice and Ford would be mutually beneficial and advance the acceptance of Paice's technology. ... After years of Ford learning the details of Paice's hybrid drivetrain technology, Ford elected not to enter into a business relationship with Paice. The suit is officially known as, "Paice LLC v. The Ford Motor Co., 14-492, U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland (Baltimore)" and you can read the PDF here. Ford told AutoblogGreen, "we do not comment on pending litigation." Toyota settled a similar patent-infringement case in 2010 and now pays Paice almost $100 for every hybrid it sells. Paice is still in court against Hyundai and Kia. In 2010, Ford also settled with Paice but they agreed to keep negotiating on other issues until at least January 1, 2014. With that date now in the past, it didn't take long for Paice to file papers to get the two sides back before a judge. That's where it appears to be most comfortable.
2015 Ford F-150 configurator is ready to go to work
Thu, 25 Sep 2014Ford is inching towards the on-sale date for the eagerly anticipated, aluminum F-150 pickup. While we're preparing to drive the new truck (expect our take on it sooner rather than later), the best-seller has reached another, albeit more minor, milestone as its online configurator has officially been switched on.
We took to Ford's consumer website to mess about with it and see just how ridiculous of a truck we can build. Among the fun things we discovered were these two nuggets - the most expensive truck we could configure was not the top-end Platinum model, but instead the King Ranch, which rang up at $65,955. The other exciting discovery? The new truck would be available in a questionable shade called Blue Jeans (shown above with the optional contrasting Caribou paint). Yep, Blue Jeans.
You can head over to Ford's consumer page and build your very own aluminum F-150 now. Take a look.
Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
