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 The oil pans on the transmission and the rear differential have been replaced by Mag-Hytec Units.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

Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta
Tue, 17 Jun 2014The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.
Ford overlooks the Big Apple in the 2015 Mustang Convertible [w/video]
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Ford has done it again. Like in April of 1964, there is once again an all-new Mustang Convertible sitting on the observation deck of New York City's Empire State Building. This has been in the making for a little while, with the first report that Ford would recreate the sky-high publicity stunt coming out a few weeks back.
The process of getting the Mustang up there wasn't exactly easy. A Troy, MI-based company chopped up the new droptop, a necessary evil to get the Mustang on the Empire State Building's only freight elevator that runs to the 86th floor observation deck. But it was slightly more involved than just taking the car apart. The company, DST, built a mockup of the ESB's freight elevators, and then practiced its cuts on a second pre-production Mustang Convertible (measure twice, cut once).
The result of all this work are the images you see above. Yes, sitting in the crisp, morning air of midtown Manhattan, over 1,000 feet up, is this brilliant, Triple Yellow Mustang. Take a look up top for our gallery of images from today's event. You can also scroll down for videos and images of the process leading up to the ESB debut.
Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales
Tue, 22 Apr 2014The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.
