The Excursion is doing awesome! Starting to show some signs of age though, at 221K miles. On a cold start she has a bit of s stumble now, nothing serious but it was never there before. I KNOW the turbo needs a rebuild as we get a metal on metal sound sometimes when under load at full boost pulling grades. I know we have some boost leaks, the intercooler boots are covered in oil again. The previous owner installed the boost and EGT gauges in the wrong spots and they left large leaks around the sensors in both the charge pipe and the down pipe. I am sure she could use at least injector O rings and some Riff Raff intercooler boots, along with a deleted pedestal and turbo re build. I plan to do these sometime this year.
I just changed the oil and fixed a leaky transmission cooler line. Otherwise the Ex is as good as ever.........just needs a few small things
Would love to do some upgrades and run some Swamps injectors 
Last year I fought with the rear AC and lost. I cannot keep that sucker charged, not sure where the leak is this time, but I do know the issue is with the rear AC
I need to replace the rear ac lines and two other rear ac parts, we cannot afford to do that this summer as we have so many other projects.
We are in North Idaho so we only really need the AC for 1 maybe two months a summer.
Yesterday I ordered rear AC block off kit, found on Ebay for $53.
Some AC is better than nothing!
I will plan to buy all new rear AC lines (the rubber ones) they are $400+, next spring.
