Ford Excursion Problems
Inoperative Door Locks Due to Resistance in Circuit
One or more of the door locks may become inoperative due to resistance in the circuit. In some cases, replacement of all actuators will be required to correct this issue.
Rough Idle Caused By EGR Sensor Sticking
Intermittent rough idle may be caused by the EGR sensor sticking, causing the EGR valve to stay slightly open. Our technicians tell us the valve and sensor must be replaced together to correct this concern.
One or More Spark Plugs May be Ejectioned From the Cylinder Head
There is a technical service bulletin for the V8 engines regarding a possible problem with the spark plug being ejected from the cylinder head, damaging the threads in the spark plug hole. If the vehicle is under warranty, cylinder head replacement is recommended. If the vehicle is out of warranty, Ford authorized the use of a specific thread insert to repair the head.
Hard start due to incorrect engine oil
Hard starts, long crank time before the start, rough idle, and loss
of power can be caused by using the wrong type of oil in this motor.
With the engine off, remove the oil dipstick and inspect. If tiny
bubbles are present, then the oil is foaming and unable to maintain
proper operating pressure in the high pressure oil system.
High Pressure Diesel Fuel Injection Pump May Fail and Cause "No Start" Condition
The high pressure diesel fuel injection pump may fail, resulting in a "no start" condition.

Ford Excursion Stories
I bought this brand new in 1999. Not much to say that is bad with this beast other than it's not the greatest when it comes to gas. Love how much space it has and it is super reliable. It's a keeper for life!!
I turned my truck on today and a gas can with water above it showed up on my dash.. what does this mean? looked in the manual and no picture showing this.. any help would be greatly appreciated!!
sincerely,
lost in vegas
We have 4 children and often carrying even more than that!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Excursion!!! We use it for everything! We haul furniture, kids, pull our 30 ft camper and more. We own the 2005 and would love it if they started making them again!! It was our best purchase!!
