Well the journey for Soldier in our family has ended. After ten years, 120k miles and countless adventures he has moved on to a new home. I actually had a sick feeling in my stomach for a day after dropping him off to his new owner. My girls have no memories without that truck being part of our...

Had the trans rebuilt and a new clutch put in just in time for the new owner. Dropped it off to Blake today in Ellensberg. Sad to see it go after 10 years of great memories!

I’m having the trans rebuilt and new clutch and flywheel this week! It will be unstoppable after that!

The truck is getting a new south bend clutch/flywheel and the trans rebuilt this week. Once complete the price will increase to $12,000 to reflect the new parts and trans fix. She will practically be a brand new truck after that!

Arlington Washington, about 30 min north of Seattle.

Bump, reduced the price a little. This old battleship needs a new home where she can get the adventuring she deserves! $11,000 OBO

Bump, reduced price to $11,000 OBO. This truck needs a new home!

I am planning on doing a similar upgrade on my Excursion. I will probably make them out of aluminum since I have more tools and skills working with metal than wood. Making some sort of storage compartment inside the doors is also a great idea, there is a lot of wasted space in there.

You won’t need that brace for normal use. When I did this swap on a customers rig I added fish plate gussets over the frame splice that is in that area and added some simple weld gussets around that area. You can see the fish plate just above the logo on the radius arm

It totally depends on your wants needs. If you only read this thread you would think the 7.3 PSD is the most unreliable pile ever produced! Everyone has their experiences and opinions, I have owned my 96 F250 for 7 years and put 120k miles on it. I have had to replace items and things have...

I just changed the oil, oil filter, fuel filters, cleaned air filter, checked turbo and intake, inspected tie rod ends and ball joints. I ordered all new tie rod and drag link ends to completely refresh the steering and put together a list of all the non factory parts and part numbers to make...

I wish I could. We picked up a 2000 7.3 excursion about two years ago to transform into our expo rig and this became my work truck. Now that I need a more worky work truck i need to re-home the battleship. Plus, in some states you can go to prison for owning three giant diesel trucks and I'm...

Here is the Youtube play list of all the videos I have for it. I uploaded a couple walk around videos today.

Here is my youtube folder with all the videos of the truck over the years. I just added a walk around with info that I took today.

I think there is a big market for electronic e-brakes for our big trucks. My Excursion has rear discs and the stupid inner drum parking brake. They are terrible even with new stuff and the cables make sliders a challenge on the frame. If someone was so inclined you could make a simple three...
