2000 Ford Excursion

Rbwarden 6 May 2005 03:07:10
 Can anyone tell me if I can put a bigger master cylinder on a 2000 Ford
Excursion to imorove the braking pressure to the pads?

 Actually smaller diameter mc would increase the braking force but would pump
less volume. Is your booster (vacum) working properly?

This probably would not be a good thing to do. If you are finding too
much peddle effort in braking, you might be better off with a 'softer'
brake pad (they will wear faster, but grab better) or just a different
brand of pads. It is possible that the pads are glazed, which
increases the stopping distance and effort sometimes.

Also, as someone else suggested, check the booster and make sure it is
working OK. I doubt this is a design problem, but either a failure of
the booster, vacuum circuit, or pads.

You may also want to try anticpating your stops further in advance and
let the car coast down to scrub off speed. You will then require less
braking force and, as a bonus, your fuel mileage wil increase.

 Where are the spark plugs on a 2000 Ford Excursion 4.3?

I do'nt know who's trying to trick you, but the 2000 Excursion was only
offerred with the 7.3L diesel V-8, 5.4L gas V-8, & 6.8L gas V-10.

The gas engines have the plugs in the heads just below each ignition
coil - these are the COP Coil-On-Plug design.

Have you already put enough fuel(I figure about $22,000.00 in gas)
through that beast to accumulate 100,000 miles & need a plug change?
