That’s is a dream finished trailer. Let’s see some inside photos of thAt. I agree with the 6.0. With such a bad reputation people let them go for a lot less cash then a 7.3 and they had a newer looking body shape. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I’d find a newer 6.0 version that the motor is junk or questionable. Better transmission and google destroked out of wheat ridge Colorado (they are the premier parts swap company in the US) and drop a Cummins in it. They have all the parts and expertise to do the swap right. A ton of info on their site FYI. I’m going to be doing an 08-10 F350 w/ a 24v this summer. Also note all excursions have a Dana 50 front, easy enough to source a Dana 60 from an F350And as a guy who drives an excursion (v10 130+ on clock) that will be up for sale in a couple months it’s not a Denali it’s a truck. I’ve owned a Denali as well or my better half did......
So maybe a dumb question, what’s wrong with a crew cab diesel? I have a family of 5, 3 girls the wife and I. My wife drove a crew cab diesel srw for years and we took it on family trips as well. Don’t get me wrong the excursion seating 8 is great but I’ve come to the conclusion it’s not ideal for a number of reasons.

It is just a lot easier to toss everything in the bed of the truck vs pack it in the back of her SUV. Her fuel economy isn't that much better, plus it is more comfortable for me to drive all day. We only have 2 kids so that does make it a little easier on seating for us.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Well that escalated quickly.
You know, I've been looking at the 90's Suburbans with the 454's. Seem like the southern and western vehicles are holding up, and that 454, although a gas hog, is a good puller. The insides of those aren't all that changed on the succeeding two generations.
That one looks less abused than the red one for sure.Didn't happen to come from Colorado by chance?
Negative, mines white but it might be easier to swap all the good parts from red one into that nice looking black one....Check door codes, one may have limited slip rear carrier and one may not....
Yeah that’s a cleaner looking vehicle for sure, lots closer to the Denali then the mad max looking rig What year? Did they put a v10 into the excursions? Is the gas motor that terrible in them if it’s or in need of a swap is it required? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
https://www.blueovaltrucks.com/tech-articles/axles/identify-your-ford-truck-axle-from-the-door-sticker/El Tate (works for Randy’s ring and pinion) has rebuild kits for the clutches in those carriers. They are wearable parts.
That’s really not that much different In the final pocketbook when you look at a years travel, maybe a grand or two to jump from a Cummins for what maybe 16 mpg better. Ha ha arguing to leave it stock. Sorry Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So you're going to strip the nice one and transfer to the hammered one? Hope you don't regret that decision bud. Either way, looking forward to the outcome.Edit: nevermind. I'm having a problem with reading comprehension lately.

Getting the build sheet together on it and should be pulling them both in to the shop next week and starting tear down. Have to run to SHOT Show in Vegas for a few days but should be getting after it pretty heavy after next week. Do you guys want me to start a new build thread or should I just continue this one? Not sure if I can change the title or not?
