Thought 330 and 450 ?... I wish I had got a big suv instead of a pickup for the room inside the Excursion would be my choice.

I keep looking at diesel Excursions. That and diesel vans. They would make good camping tow rigs.

Good 7.3 scursion=$$$. Pos 6.0 scursion=stranded on the side of the road. And diesel vans are absolutely the worst to work on. My dad had a 4x4 e250 he's turned into his camp van. It's a pretty slick setup with those. And the idea of just pulling up somewhere and everything is ready to go is cool.

36 gal tank. Put 17 gallon in up the street from house which was 262 into the trip. That's just over 15 to the gallon with a trailer. Over monarch, blue mesa, and cerro. I think the gasser did ok.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
That's very good with a trailer. I know US 24/50 to Montrose well. How is the oil consumption? Last guy I knew that had a Vortec 8100 (big block 496) said it used a quart every 1000 miles and GM thought it was normal. Cough. Cough. Said it would pull everything he ever wanted, but he finally bought a Dmax. He was hauling a camper trailer all over the U.S. Once he bought the Dmax he stopped trading up every time he wore out tires... He went the 5.3, 6.0, 8.1, and Dmax route...

It's going to sit for a bit now. Waiting to hear back from my tire guy about some 10ply toyos so I can get rid of these dumb p series tires. Going to get some tint, basic tuneup, oil change, brakes, dif service, wipers, and a good scrub down on the interior before she moves too much more.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
I think you need to send us some pictures with your new tow rig & what you're towing with it! Good deal on the 10 ply. I can't imagine why anyone would have P series on a tow rig.

Run a can of BG 44k thru. Some of GM's big blocks had some funky injector issues.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
I think that thing is really cool!
I've always told people that my JK is pretty much the XJ I've always wanted...more power then the 4.0, a full frame, removable top, and removable doors.
I like the teal grille stripe, JCR did it first on their white Cherokee with a red grille stripe.
