2000 Excursion 12v G56

lundi 27 octobre 2014

Hi,

I have been working on this one for a long time, on and off. I bought it in Hillsboro Ohio back in 2008 /2009 I drove it about 2 weeks then decided to tear it apart and redo alot of stuff that i didn't like from the previous owners build.

The Truck was built by Shawn Dance. It was built with a 12v school bus engine, NV4500 redone by Woodruff. It had a Mitchell Dual Disk pulling clutch. Woodruff oringed head, 160 pump , full cut dv, 370's, a strange Hx50 with a modded 6cm turbine built by a turbo shop out there, I think J-Mez turbo? The Truck has 4.10's dana 50 and 10.5 rear had a big 8 " BDS lift and 37" Toyo tires on 22" rims.

Some old Youtube Pulling videos from the previous owner:





I got the truck and tore it apart took the lift ,and 22" rims out and sold them. I sold the nv4500 and mitchell clutch, and swapped in a '07 AE G56, with Southbend FE. Thinking back I should have kept the nv4500, oh well *bdh*. I found some of screwy work, like the alternator wiring had 2 wire nuts and lots of electrical tape holding together etc.

Back then I was on The TDR alot and had thread about it there.

I stopped working on to pay off some debt, and in the mean time bought a '05 6.0 Excursion. I also just did a full engine rebuild on that truck last year. I documented it on Powerstroke.org.

Did alot of work custom deleted and welded up intake, BPD remote oil cooler , full home built Regulated return with A100 and cummins remote fuel and water separator, bare block rebuild, redone block, heads, , new warren 155/30 injectors etc etc...

Well the '05 has been in my friends Body shop since this past feb. needed minor lower door rust fixed and had new rear quarter installed and rebuild rear fender lips etc.. .. every time i stop by he isn't done and has a new date. Tenitively he says it will be finished by Halloween. I think that means Thanksgiving or Christmas lol.

So I decided to bring back the 2000 12v excursion. Plans are to get it going asap, and mount a plow on it. and have a useable daily driver, I can bring the 4 kids , wife and dog in and still tow and plow with. I have just got back on it this month. I'll post up some older photos and go from there.

Thanks,

Deo
