Brought the old 7.3 in to get the door code pulled since the last owner didn’t have it. Unfortunately they found some issues including my spark plugs and brand new wipers. Anyone know how much it would cost to install new spark plugs in it? I’m guessing drill and tap the heads. Do I run a stand alone for ignition?
So I really enjoy camping and caving, I dont intend to offroad just to offroad. Mostly up in areas like forest lakes in arizona. Dirt roads, gravel roads, light unmarked off roading to get a bit deeper to be secluded. Ive only got 3 more months before I have to get a vehicle.
Im currently looking at a 2003 v10 excursion 2wd with 140k miles. Its selling for 10k fees included. No reported accidents, in pretty good condition, 4 owners. My previous rig was a 2000 suburban with non working 4wd. I haven't been able to find a 7.3 4wd around 10k or a v10 4wd really period. I dont wanna spend much more than 10k. Is it worth waiting for that opportunity or do they never really reach that 10k area. Second is there any other similar vehicles that are 4x4 that would be more worth it?. Ive looked at getting and older toyota sequoia or another 4x4 burban.
Below is the vehicle listing and the vin decoded

Yes! All you need is a level to run 35s! 2 inch front leveling kit, rear is stock. This size fills the wheel well perfectly and its not too aggressive but not too tucked. Now it sits about an inch higher in the front but i dont mind, it looks sick!! Happy to be done with this little project.

Truck drives better than it ever has. Had it aligned and then instantly put around 400 miles on it for a weekend vacation and it did phenomenal. I absolutely love this truck and now it drives so much better! Normal driving it doesnt rub at all. However it did rub on me one time when i was full lock turning left and i hit a good bump. But its very manageable, normal street driving you wont have an issue.
Just picked up a 2000 ex 165k on the odo, single owner with meticulous service records, no accidents and not even a seat leather crack. I was blown away at the condition it arrived in. Figured the online photos had to be hiding something somewhere lol. No rust, trip computer and mpg still operational, looking forward to getting her all setup soon.
Is there a replacement higher capacity fuel tank for a 2000 Excursion 7.3 SD?
Thanks
I'm working on replacing my deteriorating air deflectors hoping that it will help with my ac not working great while sitting still. (I just had the whole system replaced, works great while moving or parked with a fan in front of it).
While doing so I found this plug. It looks like it originally fed in between the condenser and the radiator. (I pulled it in front of the condenser for the photo) Is this possibly a plug for an electric fan with a stopper installed? Or, as the end piece looks threaded, is this some sort of sensor that should be screwed into something?
I have a 2001 V10 4x4.
