2003 Ford Excursion Limited, V10, Lifted 37s on 2040-cars
Year:2003
Mileage:80000
Location:
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. |

The UAW's 'record contract' hinges on pensions, battery plants
Thu, Oct 12 2023DETROIT - After nearly four weeks of disruptive strikes and hard bargaining, the United Auto Workers and the Detroit Three automakers have edged closer to a deal that could offer record-setting wage gains for nearly 150,000 U.S. workers. General Motors, Ford Motor and Chrysler parent Stellantis have all agreed to raise base wages by between 20% and 23% over a four-year deal, according to union and company statements. Ford and Stellantis have agreed to reinstate cost-of-living adjustments, or COLA. The companies have offered to boost pay for temporary workers and give them a faster path to full-time, full-wage status. All three have proposed slashing the time it takes a new hire to get to the top UAW pay rate. The progress in contract talks follows the first-ever simultaneous strike by the UAW against Detroit's Big Three automakers. The union began the strike on Sept. 15 in hopes of forcing a better deal from each major automaker. But coming close to a deal is not the same thing as reaching a deal. Big obstacles remain on at least two major UAW demands: restoring the retirement security provided by pre-2007 defined benefit pension plans, and covering present and future joint- venture electric vehicle battery plants under the union's master contracts with the automakers. On retirement, none of the automakers has agreed to restore pre-2007 defined-benefit pension plans for workers hired after 2007. Doing so could force the automakers to again burden their balance sheets with multibillion-dollar liabilities. GM and the former Chrysler unloaded most of those liabilities in their 2009 bankruptcies. The union and automakers have explored an approach to providing more income security by offering annuities as an investment option in their company-sponsored 401(k) savings plans, people familiar with the discussions said. Stellantis referred to an annuity option as part of a more generous 401(k) proposal on Sept. 22. Annuities or similar instruments could give UAW retirees assurance of fixed, predictable payouts less dependent on stock market ups and downs, experts said. Recent changes in federal law have removed obstacles to including annuities as a feature of corporate 401(k) plans, said Olivia Mitchell, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School and an expert on pensions and retirement. "Retirees want a way to be assured they won't run out of money," Mitchell said.
Ford to revisit CVTs?
Thu, Dec 11 2014Today, Ford wishes its first experience with non-hybrid continuously variable transmissions was far behind it. The Blue Oval was awash in complaints and a couple of class-action lawsuits over the CVTs used in its 2005-2007 Ford Freestyle, Five Hundred and Mercury Montego models, which were a manufactured in Batavia, Ohio as part of a joint venture with ZF. The company gave up on the CVT after just two years, but with fuel economy standards pressing automakers to conjure new tricks, Ford's global product development head, Raj Nair, is now saying the transmissions might make a return, "particularly in the low torque applications," says Automotive News. An obvious candidate for CVT consideration is the 1.0-liter Fiesta that can presently only be had with a five-speed manual. Beyond that, the company's 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines might fit the bill. Ford hasn't given any indication as to what vehicles it might use to reintroduce the CVT to the US market, or hints about timeline or who would develop it, however. Some CVT trivia: The 1990 Subaru Justy II was the first US passenger car offered with a continuously variable transmission - Subaru called it the ECVT. It handled gearing duties for a 1.2-liter, inline three-cylinder engine that got all of 70 horsepower. A contemporary blurb about the car begins with "Goodness, gracious, great gobs of gimmickry," and goes on to say that "We can't imagine where you would take this car for repairs, but we are certain that the one mechanic in the world who can fix it lives in a very expensive house." The transmission didn't win any fans, but the ECVT and the car have been largely forgotten, while Subaru played the long game and now you'll find its vastly improved Lineartronic CVT on six of the eight models it sells.
2021 Ford Raptor vs Ram TRX Specs Compared
Tue, Aug 31 2021Hopefully by now you've had a chance to read our thorough 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor review. If not, check it out, 'cause you'll find a lot more detail and expertise than normal (for Autoblog or anywhere) thanks to Dan Edmunds' vast engineering and off-roading background. If you want all the dirt on the Raptor, pun intended, that's where to turn. If you just want to gaze at the specs, however, and wonder how they compare to the old Raptor or to the Ram TRX, check out the chart below. There you will find dimensions, clearances, angles, weights, capacities, engine output and fuel economy for the 2021 Raptor with both 35-inch and 37-inch tires. As Dan explains in his first drive, there's actually more going on there than just tire sizes. You'll find the same specs for the outgoing second-generation Raptor plus the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX and the less extreme Ram Rebel trim level in the chart, too. Other reviews and deep dives about the F-150 and TRX 2021 Ram 1500 TRX First Drive Review Our review of the Raptor's chief competitor, the mighty TRX.
