Anybody here drive an Excursion?

Blue, thats how I feel about it. Buy something I can afford with no payment. Of course there are going to be maintenance items, but if its a vehicle that I intend to keep, I don;t mind fixing it.

We've just got to the point that the truck is not a vehicle that suits our needs, don;t intend to keep it, therefore don't want to fix it anymore...

my 1999 4 door tahoe has been a great truck it has had the usual intake gasket replaced as all those will need but no other issues. it gets 14 to 15 in town 20 to 22 hwy not towing and towing 14 all around, it had 107,000 when i bought it 3.5 yrs ago for $7850 and now has 142,000 it just went to LI, NY at xmas no issues. as for my 1994 diesel 2 door tahoe it has been one good truck i give it hell too. it had 111,000 when bought 8 yrs ago for $8000, it's had it's usual injection pump issue which turned out to be a bad EGR valve once and a bad pump control box once, plus one vacuum pump about 2000 miles ago but it has 240,000 plus miles on it and all hard miles mostly towing as in the summer i tow tractors on a 30ft trailer all summer the trailer is never unhooked. it gets around 19 town 21 hwy and towing a boat 18 to 19 all times towing the tractor 15 to 17 all times but tractor and trailer loaded is at 9500 lbs.

i don't know how many may be having rough idle or stumbling onyour 1992 to 2002 GM motors but this may be all you need. take the EGR Valve out clean it really good with Non-Chlorinated brake cleaner and replace the gasket with a gasket that has a screen in it that will 98% of the time fix alot of odd issues you may be having. they make one for you ford guys too.

it actually fits all these below

A year and a half ago when I was contemplating a pull behind camper the big engine suburbans were right reasonable, but that was right after gas was $4/gal.

Skools, mine bucks occassionally either under a load or at moderate acceleration. I'm thinking I need to clean the EGR and replace the gasket as you suggested. Thanks for the tip.
