    Discussion between Edge Evaluation and Gauges

    Can I get some insight as to weather I should install a Edge Evolution system or 3 stand along gauges, egt, boost, fuel pressure. I like the simplicity and the programming of the Edge but question if the reading are as accurate as a gauge. Also the Edge does not seam to have a fuel pressure...

    What is "zoodad" modification

    Dennisj2003 I do like you work. I have not gotten into mine yet but just lifting the splash cover at the top and looking down I was considering cutting the hole a bit lower to minimize the amount of water that could be aspirated into the filter. Any reason not to do this? I have placed...

    Other Excursion owners scrounging for used parts?

    Sledpuller Did you ever test the batteries separately and test the alternator as mentioned in your other posts? If the batteries and alternator check out OH get a low current clip on amp meter. Kelsey Hayse sells on that reads up to 15 amps. Put the meter in series with the batteries, on...

    MEDIC!!! 2000 electronic problem

    Not sure the wiring on a 2000 is the same as a 2004 but I suspect it is. If you can locate connector C270f, the left most connector at the bottom of the Central Junction Box over your left foot. This connector has 2 rows of 6 wires, total of 12. Pin #10 a light blue/orange wire is the PCM ground...

    Excursion carnage

    Looks like the damage was in the so called "Crumple Zone" and thus the deceleration was not enough to set the bags. The censors are frame mounded and record the deceleration of the frame. In this case the frame just kept going for a lesser deceleration. Air bags are not a fool proof system.

    Are you using a Jordan Controller

    If you are using a Jordan Controller I would be interested in a measurement of the output voltage at the controller while plugged into the trailer. I am having brake problems and am measuring 10.9 volts on the output side of the controller and want to know if this is normal. The input side...

    electrical short

    The security system and radio memory draw current All the time. They do not draw enough to cause a problem. Get a clip on amp meter and measure the current in the line you have pulled the fuse out of. Put a short piece of wire in in place of the fuse and measure the current in the wire. If...

    electrical short

    I'll go with "Fordtrucker4life". Test the batteries separately from each other. If they test good. Without starting the truck read the voltage on the large terminal of the alternator, should be battery voltage. This checks the fusible link. With the truck running read the voltage on the small...

    Head Light Switch

    There is no slot under the headlight switch when looking at the dash. Are you saying the dash cowling has to come off first and if so is it just pulled off or are there release point to release the dash panel?

    Head Light Switch

    Forgot to mention that. I have a 2004 excursion. Someone mentioned that on the 2001s there is a release tab use access with a thin blade under the headlight switch. Is that also used on the 2004?

    Head Light Switch

    How do I get to the head light switch? Does the dash cowling pull off and access from the back of the cowling or does the switch come out through the front? I want to access circuit #13 the low beam circuit.

    Napa fuel filter problem?

    My Mistake I was looking at the 1st picture and the difference in hight. Looking at the 2nd. picture I now see there is a flange on the bottom of the Ford filter that accounts for the difference in hight. There is also a difference in the seal, Ford does not appear to have a seal and the NAPA...

    Napa fuel filter problem?

    f100 cleavland How about a picture of the bottom of the 2 large filters. The difference looks like it is on the bottom of the Ford filter and I would like to see what that is.

    Just found out why my fuel mileage is junk (turbo carnage)

    That does not look like something went through the turbo it looks like something was stuck into the turbo. The second vane set shows no damage. In order for something to have gone through it would have had to contact at least one blade of the second vane set.

    Excursion Towing Problem Question

    Put the Hellwigs in front and rear today. The Bilstiens went in about 2 months ago. The first around the block ride, not towing, things seamed to be a lot better. I could let go of the steering wheel for several hundred yards without loosing it. When correction of the wheel were necessary...

    Excursion Towing Problem Question

    After this last trip and some additional info that has come in I am headed in that direction. I think a sway bar will help in the towing situation but not sure it will address the wandering while driving solo.

    Excursion Towing Problem Question

    Tongue weight did not change from TV to TV. The hitch height was adjusted so the trailer rides level in both cases. As for the suspension you may be on to something. The Sub had a 1 ton suspension. The tongue weight, hitch height and suspension clearly will effect steering problems while...

    Excursion Towing Problem Question

    Just an update we went to Fl. for the month of Jan. I did raise the tire pressure for that trip but can honestly say it had no effect on the handling of the Excursion. I also had several occasions on that trip to drive the truck without the trailer. Wandering is a problem. Even on smooth...

    Gauges and pods

    Thanks for the conformation on the need for a temp guage. Years ago my brohter inlaw was a parts manager at a Ford dealer. A customer bought a new truck drove it 10 miles to his house and the gauge showed overheating. Took it in for service and they bent the needle so it would not show an...

    Gauges and pods

    Why are most of you selecting a trans temp gauge when the truck already has one? Is the factory gauge that far off. I see a lot are installing a fuel pressure gauge. Is filter clog a problem? Just gathering info before I buy any other thoughts would help.

    Gauges and pods

    Roy Boy Isn't there a place where you can place the probe to see both side? Seeing only one side don't give any indication of a combustion problem on the other side.

    Electric question

    I have gone back to rethink the path that would produce the lights. During the problem. What position is the ING. SW. in? I ask this in order to eliminate some points at which crossed wires would have this effect.

    Electric question

    There is no connection between the Head Light Switch and the Reversing lights. So That would indicate a short between the 2 circuits. To make sure the power is coming from another source than the reversing circuit pull fuse F2.8. That is the fuse that normally supplies current to the rev. light...
