Thanks for the comments guy! Working on the mirrors. Trying to find some here local for a good price instead of hundreds and hundreds of $$$$$$'s. I got the SCT, awaiting tunes from Cale. Also got my A pillar triple gauge set yesterday from Summit. Now if I can get some time to install them...

Will be researching doing ARP's without removing engine and getting a game plan together to later this next year. I would like to say after that I am done with mods, but I know myself better than that. It never ends!

Im looking to buy a ford excursion but everyone is telling me dont get a 6.0. Is it really that bad or should i wait till a 7.3 comes along.I want to do a 8-10 inch lift regear and put 37 or 38s on it.I plan on doing it right its just the 6.0 is scaring me any direction please i prefer a 2004 0r 5 but the price range looks like an 03.

I always read to find a 04-05 if possible since 03 was the first year and had some issues. The issues supposedly were figured out by 04. the 6.0 is great, and with the 5speed auto trans it seems smoother and stays in the powerband longer when you need it. A buddy tried to tell me the 7.3 was stronger but I let him drive the Ex and all he said was "hmmm....." Good enough for me.

I would hold out for an 04 or 05. Since they are not made anymore, I wanted the latest model I could get. Good luck.

Thanks, I love it! I was driving a gas Expedition before this, but sold it and bought a little 74 Ford courier to drive for a few months so I wouldn't put a bunch of miles on my GN. Was worth the wait! Good luck with your search.

Thanks i have a choice now of a 2003 6.0 with 89k and leather or a 2002 7.3 with 159k no leather \.what should i do?

[Squid4life]

If it were me, I would go with the newer, low mileage, and leather. Is the 03 a 5 speed auto? Either one would be great. I wish I would have bought one years ago!
