I bought this truck from a forum member around a year ago. Truck was very well built when I received it and has served me well. I am on the road more than I thought these days and don't want to rack up the miles on such a cherry of a truck. I also thought I could convince my wife to drive it, but she understandably wants something smaller for her daily.
I am copying most of the post of the guy I bought it from since he did such a good job building and documenting the truck. I have put roughly 14k miles on the truck and only issue I had was turbo failure. I like to upgrade parts when things break so I add a KC300x turbo. Truck makes great power, I still drive it on setting 2 on the hydra since it seems to be the cleanest burning tune for daily driving. The only thing I have upgraded was the turbo and synthetic winch line and hause, everything else is exactly the same as the day I bought it.
As follows:
2000 Ford Excursion Limited 7.3 Diesel 284k Miles ---Asking $29,000
READ DESCRIPTION
$29k IN RECEIPTS AND IMPROVEMENTS. BUILT WITH HIGHEST QUALITY PARTS
29,350 Pretty firm on the price unless you have a trade for the vehicles mentioned at the top. Truck is located in Anderson, SC. Pm with any questions.

Motorcraft crank position sensor. New Motorcraft starter. S&B cold air intake. No leaks and doesn’t burn oil.
