Ahhh... Now I see. So if I paid attention in class.... the 76 was the crew cab that used to be for lack of a better term a monster truck ? It was getting a 24V ve pumped 5.9?? and a short box conversion? Now that is going in a Excursion ? With a dodge auto? What transfercase? Yep build thread required . I like where this is going. I'd love to buy one of those. They can be found up here in Ontario with gas power for a good deal . Much easier swap than trying to fit a 5.9 in a 02 suburban , maby????
Thanks for setting me straight 6L

I've always wanted an Excursion and my wife has too. They are always way over priced for a 7.3 around here. Well I found a great deal on a 00 XLT that is maroon and in really nice shape. It has tan leather with 3rd row seating. It's pretty loaded with the exception of a sun roof. It has 178k on it, but you can't tell it by how nice it is. I got it from a board member on here. He used the engine out of it for another truck. The reason it was pieced out was the front drive shaft locked up or broke, swung around and basically broke the tcase clear off the trans, broke the trans case, wacked the upper frame rail flange, and the air bags blew and broke the windshield. So it has no engine, trans, transfer case, or radiator. I had a new windshield put in it a while back, I've been collecting parts for it when I find them or have spare money. When I got it, it had mismatched tires on steel wheels. I got a nice set of Limited Excursion wheels and center caps off ebay. Luckily the guy I got it from already got the air bags and another module for it, so I just baught them from him. I got a 7.3 powerstroke intercooler for it, got a new diesel radiator, a new condensor, just ordered engine mounts and a tach kit from Auto World, I also got a new aero turbine muffler for it, and 4" exhaust. I'm taking the VE 24v out of the 76 and putting it in this. I'm using a 47RH that's rebuilt, a single billet torque converter, and a 241DHD with small out put shaft. This truck has 4:30 gears in it. For now I'm going to put 3:55's in the rear, and search for a D60 to put in the front. The big reason for the rush to get it going is because my wife's caddy is going down hill sooner than I'd hoped for. I'm not dumping money in that dang thing when I have this. :lol: |
