[alaskanexpy]

i absolutely love my V10 in my excursion. i could not imagine the fun it would be in a expy!!!

 

[Tigster]

haha page 4 the engine is in the middle of his kitchen.... My wife would be a little pissed.

that was sick! i wanna do it now! and is the v10 really that good of a motor? ive always seen diesel > gas. but not the 6.0. i mean the 7.3. haha i want a cummins in an excursion once i get one!

 

[alaskanexpy]

the V10 is as reliable as they come and will tow a house. its the best kept secret in the truck world. less maint, less cost upfront and it'll do anything you ask of it. i've had 3 V10 excursions...love them all! now they are a bit thirsty but what 8000lbs 4x4 V10 SUV is not? lol

 

[AaronLG]

man that would be awesome. what are the HP numbers on that motor?

 

[panda24619]

enough. haha its more than the diesel. but heres how i look at it. it might be more from the factory, but what will keep kicking longer? the black smoke demon. so thats why i want a cummins!

310hp and 425TQ for the 2V V10s.

there are plenty of V10s with 300-400k on then. never rebuilt.

im not saying the v10 is bad. but its just not for me... kinda i still wouldnt mind one in my expo though. haha

 

[Shaggy]

Try to get that guy over here to post up his build thread

 

[EMendoza93]

I've been reading that thread too.. It's a beast!

 

[jacks3am]

hah it is freakin sweet, im not a fan of the 5.4 i like the 4.6 better, but a v10 mine would be squattin like crazy!

 

[SOLISIMO]

Wouldnt a well built 5.4 make more power and be cheaper?

 

[jacks3am]

yeah probably but not much people have a swapped v10 and if you built a 5.4 the mileage would be horrible i imagine?

 

[SOLISIMO]

Yeah got ya, plus your right. Its cool to have that big ass v10

 

[WHOISMOOTOO]

Agreed! V10=just badass

 

[99 Expy]

It is a cool build up. How long do you think his stock axles will hold up? I think a diesel build up would be pretty sweet to, but I think its mainly due to my addiction of turbos and black smoke. . . I agree with Shaggy, we should get him over here.

 

[jacks3am]

i think the axles will be fine, unless he has an 8.8 than he needs some swappage. HD torsion bars are probally needed

 

[99 Expy]

Wow! That is a tight fit! I hope he puts e fans on to save himself a little room.

 

[jacks3am]

lol hell yeah!
