Ted still brings it. 1 post about him and the crowd goes ape shit. I love OR in the winter. It brings the 'tard out in all of us.

Thanks for the responses. Keep 'em coming.
1) Is there an aftermarket oilpan that won't give me trouble, if it does need to be replaced? I don't remember the brand I bought but I slide under the truck every 6 months or so to check it out. No issues so far and it has been installed for about 4 years. If it starts to rust I'll just clean it up and spray some paint on it.
2) Any non drivetrain issues to look for? I haven't had any major issues. The only drivetrain issue I have had was the transmission case started to leak due the seal going bad. I replaced it with an aftermarket that had better cooler vanes. No issues since.
3) The only one i've driven was a base model V-10. It's steering would wander all over the road at highway speeds. Is this typical? Fixable? The 7.3 does have a steering stabilizer and drives rock solid. I have replaced the shock once and am going to replace it in the Spring. It is a very firm, heavy feel driving the 7.3. I hate driving my wife's F-150. It feels like a toy compared to my X.
answers above. Avoid the V-10, it will drink you broke. I have a good friend who has an X with the 5.4 Triton and it does very well. I was skeptical until we used it to pull my snowmobile trailer and his boat. It doesn't have the grunt but does a great job for what it is.

Definitely better than a gas suburban, but as has been said, good luck finding a clean, low mileage example.
A Burb gets 12mpg and can't pull a trailer as comfortably as an excursion which gets, what Matt, 18-20?
Definitely a great motor, but they are not without their problems. They have been known to have issues with rusting oil pans that require the engine to be pulled to repair.
Some where in that neighborhood if you're not pushing it to hard. Now that you mention it I did have to replace my oil pan. At least the dealer let me supply the oil pan and save a few hundred on that.

7.3 is best motor ford ever had...
+ infinity. The 6.0 is junk.

If you find one buy it! I have had mine for 12.5 years. It is going in the body shop in a few months to have some wheel well and door rust fixed and a fresh coat of paint applied. I love it and there is nothing on the market that compares. In the time i've had it the only issue is that it blew 2 turbos in the first year. The cause was identified as a faulty oil line. It rides great, has great towing capability and the 4 wheel disc brakes top it off. I have enlightened numerous members to the way of the X in the past few years. As far as mileage goes, i have gotten over 700 miles on a tank if i'm on a long trip. I can make it from my house to Saulte Ste. Marie, MI back to Mackinaw City on 1 tank hauling my 2 place snowmobile trailer doing 75mph.

A few videos taken last weekend on Neebish Island located off the Eastern tip of the Upper Peninsula. Best riding conditions we've have in 5 years, almost 3' of snow and temps averaging 10 - 15 deg. I can't wait to go back at the end of the month.

I don't know Ben, but for those that do... Think he is in on this prank for shits and giggles? If so, bravoI thought you were ignoring me?

I still say its Magley.
I agree. My thought is that he has had one of his friends he made in his worldly travels do this since he got the proverbial OR bitch slap.

Talking to the wife right now. How could we get them from you?
I can e-mail the tickets and parking pass to you. All you have to do is print them. You can send me the money in the mail.

Is that when you're on the bike or on the help?
Wow. The big silent guy in the back row just hit one out of the park. That's some funny shit right there

Right in line with what i would have and have done with my boys.

I put one on my bike a few years ago. I used the key fob sized opener with the button on the ledt side of the inner fairing. It is one of the best farkles i've added to my bike.

Pretty cool. I thought tires were expensive now...

I had never heard this song before but after listening to both versions I really like the Rexon version. Off to down load it from their FB page.
