This one is just sweet!
2001 FORD EXCURSION 4X4 7.3 Diesel

 

Sexy!

 

whats your budget if u dont mind me asking

 

Damn, thats just retarded. But much like a fox coupe, it is all about what the seller wants for it, and when a buyer is willing to pay for it. Personally, I say wait till gas hits 5 bucks a gallon, thats when they will be dirt cheap, I bought mine a few years back when diesel was hitting over 4.50 a gallon, for a super low price with only 50K miles on it.

 

Do you have one for sale?

 

What's a super low price? 4x4? Check Ebay...even there the higher (150k+) 7.3's are high teens-low 20's

 

I bought my truck with a warranty from a wholeseller for 15200 out the door. Also, I have the 6.0 also, I wanted newer. I will be doing the EGR delete, the oil cooler and head studs when it goes out, which I bought already (2 Years ago) and those are the weak link for these motors. Surprisingly, I have not had one bit of bad luck from this truck at all, I religiously change the oil at 5K miles, fuel filters every 10K miles. And it has been a damn good truck with no issues. But yeah, there are plenty of guys that have these Ex's with the 6.0 that are pushing well over 550 HP with just those minimal mods. And still getting over 15-18 mpg.

They are just really sought after trucks what it comes down too, especially the 7.3. People here the story of the 6.0's failing and yeah they do, but look to the people that have had no issues at all that dont even post anything. There are tens of thousands.....

 

The 6.0's are reasonably priced (less than 20k). I had a 05 F-250 4dr 4x4 6.0 and didnt have any issues with it, so I may just go that route. there are several nice ones out there that I like but a 2wd, I really want a lifted one being this is a trade-off for a truck.
Something like this...but this one is a gasser


Here's an 05 2wd...104k and $21,500

 

Late 04 + 6.0Ls have a redesigned egr cooler than the problematic 03-04. I haven't touched a newer designed egr cooler in the past 30 or so 6.0L iv worked on. The last one i did was a newer 04 tire service truck that had over 260k.....If you can get a late 04+ 6L you cant go wrong. And at 100k these trucks are just getting broke in. Before you buy 1, bring it by an we will check it out for you.....

 

Many trucks will be sitting on lots when gas gets over $4 gal. Thats how I got my 04 Silverado so cheap. I bought it back in 07 with 54k for $10,200 out the door. And my truck is full loaded. Z60 and Z82 package, console, pwr everything and with the 5.3 gets very respectable gas mileage with enough hp and trq to easily pull anything I load on my trailer.

I averaged 13.8 mpg coming back from Ohio loaded down heavy with Jeffs car and parts. Those mountain hills were no joke either.













7.3 would make easy work of these hills. I had a 93 F250 with the 7.3 Power Stroke and that truck got 19 mpg empty or loaded,.. it was the same no matter what. If I ever get the chance to buy another I will.
