Man Down, Man Down… The Excursion is in the Shop

Well after 5+ years my trusty 2003 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel Ford Excursion had to be taken in for a repair. I had the smell of diesel fuel coming into the A/C system and decided to pop the hood. Looked at the engine valley area and saw a puddle of diesel fuel. Checked around and it seems to be a common problem for them to have a bad o-ring seal in the fuel separator area. Figured that would be it a couple hundred bucks. Well get the call and they also found another leak at the top of the high pressure pump. Another set of bad o-rings. And finally it was in for the recall of the camshaft sensor that was a freebie. So out of pocket about $1000. I hope that is all for a while, and over the life of the truck so far it’s still not bad. Picked up some coolant additive as I figured it might be another $100 to add a $9 bottle of additive. Will have to make sure I have the right amount now that I think of it. Oh well the sound of another credit card swipe for car stuff…
