Replying to: ed269 (Aug 20, 2004 12:51 pm) Which Banks kit do you have? Was there a marked difference? I am putting a Six_gun bundle on a 6.0 - what can I expect? Replies to this message: mdobec (Mar 21, 2005 8:41 pm)
#11 of 29 BAD MPG [e350v10] by mdobec Mar 21, 2005 (8:41 pm)
Replying to: e350v10 (Aug 29, 2004 5:22 am) I BOUGHT A 04 EXCURSION 4X4 WITH 6.0 DIESEL FOR TOWING MY 9000LBS TRAILER. AFTER DRIVING 4500 MILES, MY AVERAGE WAS 9MPG. IVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS WITH SAME ENGINE AND PACKAGE AND THEY AVERAGE BETWEEN 15 TO 18 MPG. IVE NOT ADDED ANY PERFORMANCE UPGRADES DUE TO THE FACT I DONT WANT TO VOID FACTORY WARRANTY. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL IMPUTE ANYONE WOULD HAVE.            THANKS,
#12 of 29 Hello and I am new to this forum by southernbug May 26, 2005 (9:17 am)
I own a 2000 Excursion and found out we had a governor on the car. Forgive my asking this, as I was totally unaware of governors being installed on privately owned vehicles and would like to know more about them and why they are mandated. We bought it used after our 1993 E-150 van was totalled. We love it and get about 600 miles to the tank. I would also like to increase that MPG and would love to know how you all did yours.
#13 of 29 Some V-10 assistance if you please by jdphil2 Aug 20, 2005 (4:57 pm)
First of all this is my first post so let me say HI. I am now the proud owner of a 2005 Eddie Bauer Excursion. Since I live in the south I don’t really need a 4X4 and I have a jeep for that I got the 2wd V-10. I just got back from a nice road trip to the NE 5k and have some questions. I really love the vehicle and I did not get it to save on gas but what can I do to get better mileage out of the V-10. I have gone thru a ton of posts about the diesel but I have not found anything to assist someone in what to do about gasoline engines. I would appreciate any assistance I can get. From the posts I am in agreement about that shocks and will change them here shortly. I also think the rear sway bar is a good idea. I just need to get it here to the house and put it on. Tks.
#14 of 29 Hi there by mikevg Sep 30, 2005 (1:21 am)
I too am new here so let me say Howdy to all!!!   I have a 2000 V10 "X" and have enjoyed it , it's a 2wd but i wanted the lifted look, not lifted it just looked like a staion wagon on steroids , so we put a 6" Fabtech lift kit, BFG A/T 35's, K and N intake system and a Gibson Cat Back exhaust, so far thats it, would like to upgrade the stereo and get some TV's for the kids, in time i guess.   We have a 21' Ultra Jet boat and the "X" tows her like nothin', i'm getting 10 and sometimes 12 mpg if i keep out if the throttle. Had to replace the tranny while still in the warranty time, was towing from Laughlin Nevada back home to Fontana Ca. and the tranny just died, that was a long afternoon/evening, but the dealer took care of it no problem, Thanks to Citrus Ford in Ontario CA.   Mike Replies to this message: unknown (Oct 12, 2006 7:35 am) bigdraws2k01 (Sep 13, 2009 6:21 am)

Replying to: dustytruck (Oct 18, 2001 9:03 am) Where did you buy the Hellwig anti-sway bar for $148? Also how much did you pay for the Bilsteins and do you recommend them?   Does anyone have any advise on the "wondering" the front end does on the Excursion?

Replying to: 01exc (Jul 31, 2003 5:25 pm) just curious after installing chips did you also do any intake exhaust service as well? they say it saves on your turbo and gives more horse power.

Replying to: wavshrdr (Jul 08, 2002 10:12 am) with that super chips installation did you do an intake exhaust service as well to increase horsepower

I too am curious about mods to the V10. Chips, exhaust, intake, etc. to improve mileage and power. I do not expect to get "high mileage" but 13 would be nice. Additionally, what can I do to improve the handling"? The front-end has a mind of its own. Any advice would be appreciated.
