#1 of 419 Cruise Control by ned412 Dec 01, 2001 (7:54 pm)
I have a 01 Ex with the 5.4 engine. The truck only has 1300 miles on it but have a few small problems. Main one is the cruise control. I'll have it set at 35 (so I don't get a ticket) and sometimes it will just surge ahead. another minor thing is the rear passenger door will pop open just a bit and the dash light will tell you the door is ajar. Then when you stop at a light the interior lights come on.   I haven't had it back to the dealer yet, I'm waiting for the 3K oil change. Any suggestions?
#2 of 419 ned412 about your cruise by theriddler Dec 02, 2001 (4:05 pm)
I have a similar problem but I noticed it a 70 mph. I'm pretty sure it is the same problem. I've had mine back to the dealer about a month ago. I saw somewhere before I took it to the dealer that there is service bulletin on that problem I can't remember the # but your dealer should be able to help you. Anyways when I took it to the dealer he told me Ford didn't have a fix yet but they where suppose to have one by the end of the year, so check with your dealer. As far as your rear door it sounds like a simple door adjustment to me. I'm sure the dealer can fix it when you go in about the cruise. Good luck!

No fix till the end of the year? I wonder what they would say if I didn't pay them until they come up with a fix?   In all fairness though, I'll see what happens when I take it in. Probably not till Feb. Thanx for the info. And as for the rear door, I think your right. I'm sure it's something simple.   Ned.....
#4 of 419 Final resolution to clunk? by 390gt Jan 29, 2002 (9:21 am)
Has anyone had this clunk under the floor boards resolved? This is a recurrent problem on my 2000 4wd Excursion. Any new ideas would be helpful. The dealer has replaced the sway bar end link on drivers side, replaced the bolt on cab mount under drivers feet and tightened up the whole front suspension and any other bolt.
#5 of 419 RE: Final resolution to clunk? by thebrewguy Jan 24, 2003 (7:20 am)
My dealer is stumped over this as well. I have a 2000 Limited with the V10 engine, 2-wheel drive. Perfect performance so far (57K miles) without any problems. The clunking sound occasionally resonates from the passenger side floor board. When I hear it, it happens shortly after startup and sometimes while backing from a parking space (or two). While it is a concern, it hasn't become a problem and there are no other symptoms.   Have any other owners noticed this? Thanks. Replies to this message: gwisdella (Feb 13, 2005 6:04 pm)
#6 of 419 Excursion driver seat mounted at an angle by drtvman Mar 30, 2003 (5:24 am)
What has been the outcome of the driver seat thing? I have a 2000, and the seat is angled to the right.   Would someone please let me know what we might be able to do.   Thanks...
#7 of 419 2000 V10 Excursion performance by drtvman Mar 30, 2003 (5:38 am)
What are other owners doing to improve performance? Is there a chip replacement that will allow the vehicle to exceed 95?   I spoke with the local muffler shop regarding dual exaust system. They say that that would screw up all the sensors and the engine would'nt perform right.   Anybody got any ideas?

Take it to another shop ! That one doesn't know what he's talking about... Duals are put on vehicles EVERY day.
#9 of 419 Excursion Performance Mods & More by sirlez Apr 17, 2003 (1:45 am)
If you're looking for more engine power without the extra fuel consumption you can check out www.kennebell.net and www.bankspower.com. I have a twin-screw supercharger on my V10 which is a godsend for my right foot. I have left many Escalades and Navigators standing at the lights and can even out-run a V6 Honda. This thing goes through freeway traffic like a hot knife through butter - every car gets out of my way when I speed up on them. It's a real shame Ford is discontinuing the vehicle. Many loyal fans will miss the exclusive appeal this thing has. There ARE people who need this SUV! I really hope Ford will reconsider their decision once the frantic rush to get the last few models hits their heads. KEEP THE EXCURSION ALIVE!!!!!!!

#10 of 419 more performance for the V-10 by theriddler May 07, 2003 (4:00 pm)
I just read an artical in the may issue of "Ford Truck World" magazine about increaceing HP & torgue in a V-10. It went through the step by step procedure of installing a complete exhaust system with headers from Banks. It also showed installing a Banks OttoMind computer module and a Banks Ram-Air air cleaner. The initial run ,before any mods, showed 192.7 hp and 270.7 lbs.-ft. of torque. After all mods it was 255.5hp with351.4lbs.-ft. of torque. Also gas millage increased from 10.9mpg to 12.3mpg. The total cost of the kit was $2,050 plus installation. Sounds a little high price but I think if you read the artical the say to buy each of these systems sperately from any aftermarket it would probly come out about the same. I would love to install this kit on my beast but right now I have a 18 year old son getting ready to go off to collage so I need to be a little more conservative with my funds. You can reach the magazine on the internet at www.fordtruckworld.com. I just stumbled across this mag last month. It has a lot of good articles on Ford trucks.
