Re: No PSD Excursion for Me
I'm going with the 4.30 gears because I'm told it's the only way I can get a limited-slip rear axle with the V10. The standard 3.73 axles on the Excursion are open differential front and rear, and the 3.73 limited-slip rear is only offered with the PSD.
I had a F150 4X4 a few years ago with an open rear differential that was nearly worthless in deep snow and mud. My current vehicle, a Durango, has a limited slip rear and does much better despite its disadvantage in ground clearance. Besides, I don't think the gas mileage will suffer drasticly with the 4.30's and the acceleration should be slightly better. Plus if I do decide to tow something heavier than my snowmobile trailer, it will be nice to have the lower gears to deal with the mountain roads in my area.
Anyway, I'll continue to read this site and thanks for the tip about getting the dealer to change a stock order. I'm going in tomorrow to sign the papers and drop off the deposit check. I'll post back my results.
