    Leaf Spring F-350 suspension help

    I recently put a set of Alcan custom leaf springs under the front of my excursion. Worth the price I think. Ride way nicer than any stock 05+ superduty. Take your truck fully loaded to a truck stop and use the scale there. Give them your axle weights and they can make a set of springs tuned form...

    Looking at possibly buying a 2002 f350 7.3 Diesel -- Need help! Photos included

    Nope, wouldn't even look at that truck. You can tell that the frame has some heavy pitting before they slathered the undercoating all over it. I would highly suggest looking for trucks in the southwest where there is no rust, and prices are more realistic.

    Suburban vs Excursion for Family of 8

    When I was looking for a excursion i was planning on a V10 one. They were going to 5K all day long here in AZ. A friend of mine's dad was selling his 7.3 excursion that I got for 7200. It was my second 7.3 so I was comfortable with the platform. That being said maintaince on a 20 year old...

    Suburban vs Excursion for Family of 8

    6.5's are turds. I wouldn't even consider one. I own a 7.3 Excursion. Probably the best camping/road trip vehicle ever made IMO. Solid front axle, diesel engine, 44 gal fuel tank, plenty of room, not too big on the trail. List can go on. Also I much prefer fords interior layout and quality...

    OBS F250/F350 Flatbed camper build

    Had the banks one installed on my OBS with a S&B. My buddy who installed it made no mention of having to modify anything. He did say the lower intercooler boots where a nightmare to get on though.

    7.3 question

    I mean, its all about supply and demand determines what anything is worth. You can clutch to bluebook price all you want, but its the demand and dwindling supply is what is keep prices higher than book value. Book value doesn't determine what the truck is worth to you as a buyer. Its time...

    Spark plug issues were only the early years. V10's never got cam phasers

    7.3 question

    As a 7.3 owner, these trucks are not worth much over 10K once they break that 150K threshold. In then end of the day you are still buying a almost 20 year old truck. Lower mileage helps some, but age plays a big part with things wearing out. Anything that has rubber in it is going to start to...

    Help with pricing...

    What color is the the truck under the wrap? You may get more if you take the wrap off. Also, dont take this as me being negative, but it being a 6.4 is going to kill the resale. Around here a 6.0 will go for more than a 6.4. You have low miles on your side so i would say about 25 to 27 to the...

    New Overlander, want to stay a Ford man

    I also own a excursion. And while its the perfect vehicle for vehicle camping, its only good for two people. If i had a family and also wanted to sleep inside of the Ex, it wouldn't work for me. As previously mentioned i would get CCSB F250 and a 4wheel camper. Since you like the 6.0 I would try...

    What generation 7.3L F250/F350 is better to start with?

    So I own a 96 ford F 250 7.3 and a 2000 Ford Excursion 7.3. The 99-03 trucks are far superior in every way imaginable, other than looking cool. Pros to a 99-03 truck More power Inter cooled from the factory Electric fuel system Better interior Far better brakes with the super duty's having...
