Ford Excursion 24 valve Cummins turbo Diesel engine swap

2003 Ford Excursion with 24 valve Cummins Turbo Diesel. My dad did this swap 15000 trouble free miles ago. It was a long difficult swap that was done right from start to finish. Not these hack jobs you see on ebay. This started out as an Eddie Bower V-10 2 wheel drive. The V-10 was bad and this truck and it only had 103000 miles. I sourced a 24 valve cummins engine with only 70000 miles on it. The fuel system was converted with all new hose with an airdog system sending bubble free fuel up to the brand new injection pump. New injectors and new turbo. The fordcummins.com swap kit and some new hoses and new OEM intercooler and tranny cooler later this truck was almost finished. The power puck was added and the cummins computer reflashed. Compushit shift computer was added. AC lines welded and system charged. Front leveling kit, new shocks and new wheels/tires. Pillar guages keep me informed of the boost and temps. I pull a 30ft boat weighing 10000 lbs once in a while. This truck pulls it like there is nothing back there. If the damn boat cover wouldn't blow off at speeds over 75mph I could cruise 80-85mph no problem.

looks like a backyard swap with backyard quality work. Things could be done alot neater and cleaner.

@Spoken4Lyfe Do tell... Please tell me what you see as "backyard"...

[snots022]

how much did it cost...engine and everything...did you keep the ford tranny...better than dodge

[videophoto2000]

@snots022 Well... 5 grand for the excursion... 2 grand for the engine with 85K miles... 3 grand for swap kit... Another grand for various parts. If you pay someone to do it it will cost tons for the labor. Yes kept the Ford tranny from the V-10. There is a custom plate to mate the engine to it which came with the swap kit.

@JohnDiMartino

Just a little bit of Info for you cummins nuts, the best cummin motor is built by IH. You might think I'm full of crap but look it up. Cummins evidently also out sourced to IH (aka Navistar ). From what I have researched they are basically tractor motors, I think they are only in the 12 valves though. I just find it ironic that you guys bash the Powerstroke, but evidently the best Cummins blocks are made by the same company. Who has the last laugh now. Ha Ha HA

get the gay dodge head cover off lol.

[s50wpb]

What did you have to change regarding the trans ? What makes it shit at a Diesel friendly rpm?

@videophoto2000

How is the tranny holding up? 4r100 right, and any mods to tranny?

@Spoken4Lyfe

@godsmack8807 Wheres your proof to back up this claim? Navistar makes their own engines, cummins makes their own.

Love this truck. I have the same one,and I am looking for a 12v now. Your Dad did a great job!!

[PSNCnation]

Rip the heart out of a excursion (rip 7.3)

[MegaCummins02]

This is the only ford I would ever drive. Seriously. Great job man!

[PSNCnation]

The 7.3 v8 is a way better engine but its the cummins is better than duramax thats for sure powerstroke#1
