2003 EXCURSION 6.0 Good or Bad?

• Add to quote

Please help! We just bought an 03 Ford X with a 6.0. This is our first Ford and first diesel. Now we are hearing that we possibly made a mistake. It has 80,000 miles and the history shows the main problem with this rig has been the egt valves. No other major problems. Should we return it? We have a 10 day trial exchange. Do any of you have one? Tell me the good and the bad, Please!  

I don’t have any personal experience with the 6.0 but my buddy had head gasket issues with his. Ford ended up replacing the head bolts with studs. However, it was my understanding that everything was covered under the warranty. If it were me I would at least research the extended 7 year 200,000 mile warranty that is being offered right now. This link will help you in your research about the warranty. http://forums.thedieselstop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1436211&fpart=1  

Rob- Although I have not owned a 2003 or later Excursion with the 6.0, I have several friends that have. All have gone back to the 7.3 equipped Excursions (2 of the 3 found early '03's with the 7.3). There were a lot of problems with the '03's with 6.0 especially, and some wound up being returned under lemon laws. I have a good friend that owns a succesful large late-model used truck-only dealership just a few miles from my home, and he always has an Ex or 2 on his lot, but never a 6.0. He looks for the best low mileage 7.3's only, and if a 6.0 is traded in, he sends it to auction rather than retailing it. I know there are a lot of folks including those on this forum that swear by them, but I am on my 2nd Excursion with the 7.3, and it has been as trouble-free as the first. If I were in your shoes, I would be VERY patient in a search for a low mileage 7.3 Limited Ultimate from either late '02 or '03 (southern states/Texas) and return the one you have. The 7.3 is well proven and reliable and I would have a hard time going to something that has had a questionable reputation at best. If you must have a newer one, at least get into a late '04 or '05 since most of the 6.0 bugs had been worked out by that time. Just my 2 cents, of course. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif Jim  

Yes, I have one and I love it. I have just under 118K miles on mine now and I have had no real significant problems. I was concerned based on some of what I had read here, but I had a friend at Ford pull an OASIS report that showed no problems in the first 65k miles (which is when I bought it). My wife and I use it for our 2500 mile round trips to Florida and back several times a year and I use if for pulling my enclosed car trailer (10,000+lbs loaded). When not pulling and if I am easy on the throttle, I can get 20+ MPG but normal is between 16 and 18. Pulling the big trailer I get 12 to 14. I have made no modifications to my engine, nor do I plan to, it works great for me the way it is. It seems alot of people like the 7.3 because of the number of ways it can be modified.  

I had an 03 6.0L and traded it in with 73,000 trouble free miles for my current 05 6.0L. There were a lot of injector issues with the early 03 engines due to the injectors being installed improperly. That issue is behind your X. If they were put in bad they would have acted up long ago. The EGR valve gets dirty on all engines with one. With ULSD it will be less of an issue. However, a repeated replacement of the EGR valve most likely is telling you the EGR cooler maybe leaking. All of this is covered by 100K warranty. If you are going to keep it a long time look at the 200K warranty. There is a thread on the main 6.0L power train page. RoyC  

I also have a 2003 6.0L Excursion, however with only about 60,000 miles on it. It has been a great truck with only the EGR and harness being replaced under warranty. Everyone has stories, but there are a lot of 6.0Ls out there without problems also. Truck is great for hauling family, baseball team, boat, etc. It has been a great truck. My only issue with it, is it sometimes too big as I use it as a daily driver also.  

I sold my 2003 6.0 Excursion a month ago and it was perfect the four years or so I had it. I also had a 2000 7.3 Excursion before it but the 6.0 would blow the doors off of it. The 7.3 with 4-speed AT was a slug compared to the 6.0 with 5-speed Torqshift.  

Thank you very much for your replies!! We are still taking everyone's opinions and will make our decision in a couple of days. So far we love the rig and it will be hard to give it back!! We welome any other comments you may have. Thanks! Rob  

Don't listen to the few with problems that fill up these forums with there complaining. Most of them put chips and over fuel these with flash devices. Very few have problems not related to modifications this late. These engines like to work so load it from time to time and you will be fine. Buy a used one that has not been modified. Stay away from the ads that say a tuner or chip is included or has been used. Good luck!

6.0l Excursion bulletproofing

• Add to quote

I have a 2005 Excursion 6.0l, I got a smoking deal on the banks big hoss bundle and installed it. (yes I know banks isn't the best) I now plan on doing my head gaskets and bullet proof the motor, heres what im looking at: •Master solution head gasket kit with all the gaskets and seals Upgraded oil cooler, ARP head studs. •Bulletproof diesel EGR •Driven Diesel regulated fuel return •Fass or Air dog II? •STC upgrade fittings •updated turbo feed/drain lines •Coolant filter •FICM with Hercules tune •Wicked wheel and possibly 175cc injectors...(From industrial injection) Anyone have any recommendations, do's/dont's? Which would be a better system to go with, FASS or Air Dog II? I use this as a daily driver and want to make more power but still reliable and driveable. I don't want to have to do anything major to the motor when im done. Thanks  

No need to do stc fittings , as your '05 excursion really has a '04 engine, with the older HPOP. I would NOT use a fass or Airdog II, I'd look at a aeromotive or fuel lab pump setup. I would delete the egr, do aircooled remote oil cooler from bullet proof, GUAGES!!!!, SCANGAUGE II, reroute the Crank case vent to atmostsphere, 4" turbo back Exhaust, etc etc I just bulletproofed my '05 excursion. You can read my build in the 6.0L Excursion forum here, its the '05 Excursion cab on driveway build! Thanks, Deo  

Ok that's good to know, listed on my motor is 2005 international vin/decal. I have the banks IQ which shows me EGT/Oil/Trans/temp etc. Ive been trying my best to do all this research of what to use... So far im thinking ill stick with my stock injectors, go with PHP Hurcules FICM Tune, Regulated return and wicked wheel 2. Are ARP studs better than A1? Ive spoken to a few of mine and they said bullet proof diesel ERG cooler would be a better bet to go, because of our colder climate here in Canada it would make it harder to get it to heat up.  

I'd read up on the Bullet proof Oil cooler. It is available with a cold weather option that has a thermostatically controlled valve that will not allow oil to flow to the cooler when the oil temps is too cold. I have it on my cooler and we had a pretty nasty winter here in ny many below zero days and no problems. I know there are many canadian's that use the system too.. Thanks, Deo  

Just finished doing that, im going to stick with stock injectors for now and get the bullet proof oil cooler kit. I think im going to go with the bullet proof EGR cooler as well and not worry about a EGR delete  

Banks is very hard on the transmission.  

The kit I have has "trans command" which doesn't add power until line pressure is up.  

Therabbittree what was the build date of your 2005 Excursion that does not have the STC fitting?  

IMO you guys are right on track. What I would suggest is to give Bullet Proof a call and tell them what you are up to. These guys do this stuff everyday. They have the professional install kit that helps out a bunch. (well it helped me out anyways) While you got everything out and torn apart you might also think about the radiator and the BPD water pump (spendy yes but when you see theirs next to the oem set up you'll understand). BPD sells a all aluminum cooler that is very nice. I have seen a post that someone else sound a similar set up for cheaper but Ill just say I like the one I got. Or better yet the truck likes it. Of course replace any of the hose's that you can, also the serpentine belt as well as the belt tensioner. Yours is probably the oem set up with a few miles on it. You could also while you got the truck apart send your ficm into FICMREPAIR.com for a check up. Or if you got the extra $$$ the BPD ficm is the shyt. Dont forget the blue spring upgrade.  

That makes senses since my 05/05 and 09/05 both have 2005 motors. By the way thanks for the great write up Rabbittree!  

Excursion218 please post the build date of your X and check the build sticker year on the passenger side valve cover.  

My build date is 06 2005, listed on the valve cover is 2005 year. -i will be going with ARP head studs or A1 H11 head studs -new OEM ford head gaskets -all updated/graded hoses, tubes and fittings -FICMrepair with Hercules tune -Fuel Regulated return -Wicked wheel 2 -OEM oil cooler -already have banks intercooler and boost tubes -i have 4" exhaust straight piped -cold air intake -Coolant filter I wont be doing the bulletproof Oil cooler relocation, its just to pricy for me right now $2450... Whats the price of a new aluminum rad?
