New here 03 with a 6.0

Hi I recently picked up a 03 4x4 6.0 with a little over 313k on the clock from an older gentleman in Utah. The motor was rebuilt about 65k ago (larger turbo, upgraded internals, tuned and deleted, I know who did the work). I paid 5k for it. XLT cloth seats, interior is pretty clean not a rip in the seats.

The passenger rear door window doesn't work at all and I'm missing the cover and switch I would appreciate any help or advice

Sony aftermarket radio install issues

So I'm trying to install a XAV-ax1000 Sony aftermarket radio in my excursion. I got the Metra 70-1771 wire harness and when I wired it up there was no audio coming through the system. In addition to the main wire harness that I plugged into the vehicle there is an extra wire harness coming out of the vehicle that was left that you can see in the photo. Not sure what's going on but I'm getting no audio when plugged in. It's a 2005 Ford excursion XLT. I do not have a DVD system in the vehicle. Any idea why there's no audio? I've been told that that secondary plug is for an amp for a rear system but I don't have a DVD audio system at all. The only thing extra in the back is audio controls for the second row on the bottom of the center console.

Advice? Tips? Upgrades? Help with first Excursion

As I mentioned, I would like some info and such on the excursion that recently came into my possession. It is a 2004 5.4l V8 XLT 2WD Model. I know what you are gonna say, it's not my first choice either, but it was given to me and I'm a broke highschool student who can't afford the model I really want. Thanks!

2000 7.3 ?

This was my daily driver for a long time and I also drove it long distances on family trips. I'd still trust it out on the road any day.

It is a 2wd, 350K miles, turbo added, and rebuilt and maintained transmission.

I just stumbled into this community and had no idea these were sought after. My insurance company assigned a value of something like 3k so I assumed it wasn't something people wanted.

I am not driving it anymore and decided to sell it, which is how I ended up here. Any thoughts on how to get a decent price? I don't want to sell it too cheap or be too grandiose about it.

Pricing help

I'm looking at a 2002 excursion for a project/parts donor. A lean to fell over and dented the roof in. It's a 7.3 with 170k miles. Seller wouldn't give me a price, but said someone else offered her 5k and that was "too low".

What is a fair price? It seems ridiculously high to me given that it has a salvage title, but maybe it's just because it's a 7.3? IDK. The frame is good and the rockers aren't rusted. What would you offer? Or should I try to find one at an auction instead?
