Welcome.
Curious as well. Also why didn't you get a Ford diesel? We've had our Excursion for about 6 months now. Only problem was a leak in the a/c line so all the freon escaped (we found the problem on our way down to Georgia last month, what a hot weekend that was).

Thank's for the replies folks. I'd like to see some pics of Christina, seeing as how I'm the new guy and didn't get to see them the first time around.
Green_98, I was a Chevy man tried and true. Had a '01 Z71 and traded it for an '01 2500HD 4x4 Dmax/Allison. While the truck was very fun with the Juice box on it (it was nothing for me to spank a Mustang GT and run with a Z28), at 70k miles the entire fuel system crapped out. This was a very common problem with the '01 nad '02 trucks that has supposedly been fixed by now. However, after having a $40k diesel truck that can't even make the century mark, I lost all faith in GM and their ability to produce and stand behind a quality product. The reason I don't have a diesel anymore is because I've sold off all my cattle and took a job in the city. I'm trying to save up enough money to put a down payment on some land to ranch again in about 5 years with my friend and business partner. If I need to haul something, I have enough friends with diesels to pull a trailer. I had a Dodge Cummins before this and was really impressed by it, but I don't need a diesel anymore, at least for a while. Besides, I can rope and haul a small horse trailer with my F150 and that's good enough for me for right now.
