I am about to step into the world of 7.3L Diesels. I have a new job that will have me working in remote locations in W. Texas, New Mexico, Eastern Arizona, and Southern Colorado. I need a reliable vehicle with 4x4. So a good friend is willing to sell me his 2000 7.3l Limited Excursion 4x4. His wife is European and thinks its just too big. He said he would rather sell to me than random folks.
The truck has minor issues, needs new seals on the doors, basic wear and tear for for a 17yr old truck. The main thing he has mentioned is the transmission might need some work, and to be honest that is something I would get fixed before i bring out to these remote locations.
I may wind up asking some silly questions due to my inexperience with diesels, so bear with me. 1st question would be did the 7.3L 4x4 Excursion use the same
transmission and transfer case as the 7.3L 4x4 trucks? From what I read, they came equipped with a Dana 50 in the front.
Thank you.
