I've done coolant tank changes there. Did wheel bearings in the hotel lot.

Love seeing the Excursion doing work out in Moab, especially since I have a 2000 F250 with the 7.3. I was rather surprised how well my old girl did out in Moab. Think the long wheel base and weight actually helped me in some situations where a shorter vehicle might have gotten me in trouble. Although the length did get me in trouble in a few places, luckily I kept my cool and drove through it. My scariest moment happened on one of the easiest trails, Hurrah Pass/ Chicken Corners. I started heading down after reaching the top of Hurrah Pass and didn't realize I took one of the tight turns too sharp. Looked in my mirror and my right rear tire was hanging off the edge. Don't know how my truck didn't slide off , but I'm pretty sure some poo came out when that happened 🤣.

I have a 2000 Excursion I'm in the middle of rebuilding: coilspring swap (cut the front part of the frame off an '05 f350 and grafted it on the Ex) adding the Carli leveling kit from CJC offroad and doing an entire drivetrain swap. It spent the first 23 years of it's life with a 6.8l v10 and now it's getting a 2020 7.3l Godzilla with the 10 speed transmission. It should be done in the next few weeks and I can't wait. It should have similar power as your built 7.3 but weigh a lot less. It's going to be our family adventure rig for the next 20 years when maybe I'll have to rebuild it again :)

Not gonna lie you couldn't have asked for better weather cause God knows those tires needed all the traction that kind of heat could put into those tires. That was absolutely epic!

Well I did want to do a manual transmission swap on my excursion but I'm guessing that's a bad idea if I ever planned to do something like this?

No reason to do a manual swap. The 4R100 is plenty strong. Just keep it service and it'll last a long time. Off-roading is much easier with an auto.

You'll burn your clutch out before you get half way through. For the amount of time and money to do a conversion, you can get a built 4r100 with an aftermarket trans cooler.
