They are not fast. They're 7000+ LBS and a 6.0 isn't the most powerful diesel out there. A lot of these low RPM issues are either caused by a bad VGT or High Pressure Oil Pump going bad.
Definitely has some sort of boost leak, I remember my uncle replacing intercooler boots and also replacing the plastic air intake and lastly checked the compressor wheel on the turbo to see if there was any play. I didn’t check if 0-60 times improved but definitely felt faster than my geo metro after the fix 😂
@@DMCarReviews oh well, cool truck nonetheless. The 6.0 powerstroke was not known to be very reliable, maybe there’s something going on with it. Who knows, but that’s extremely slow for an excursion.
Looks to me like the turbo is probably bad or not functioning properly, kind of common on 6.0's amongst other things that can cause power loss but that's my guess as its acting like its NA, no pull, no gust, doesn't wanna rev, and no turbo sounds which are normally very clearly audible on even a stock 6.0.
@@DMCarReviews I just looked up the dealer who has it, that's actually not a bad price for a 2004 Excursion w/ PowerStroke. Any "issues" causing it to be slow can be fixed. that thing will sell fast.
You can still drive a 30 second car just fine, as you saw, but you got to plan ahead. That is why when someone says 8 seconds is not fast enough, it really makes me wonder what they are trying to use it for, because 8 seconds is a breeze to drive.
This video made my day, excursion is one of my dream vehicles and I absolutely love it plus when you add the sound of that diesel it's totally something else.
I so badly wanna get an excursion, I think these cars are an absolute beauty truly, it has so much character in them really!! I’m trying to buy one with either the 6.8 v10 or the 7.3 v8. These suvs were honestly so underrated and sad to see them no longer being made anymore since ‘05 but I mean, it’s better to die a hero than live long enough to become a newer crappier version with a new 6.7 which in my case it has the worst reputation there is to me
Yeah, these things are pretty damn quick. I’ve mean like spin the rear tires quick ! I have been on a long road trip pulling a race car trailer in one and we set the cruise control on 80 miles an hour and it was barely taking any effort to pull the load. The 6.0 have to be bulletproof though. They were extremely troublesome in stock form. I figured most of the ones left out on the road today. Have already had the bulletproof job done to them.
Completely an educated guess, but given the motor sounds healthy as can be I'd bet its either an air filter that has imploded at this point, or the DPF is clogged and creating a bunch of backpressure in the exhaust. If it were something like clogged up injectors for example you'd hear a difference when you get on it.
I dont think you buy an Excursion for power and handling buddy. You buy it for its capabilities, utility, hauling, and towing. Thats why 0-60 is slow. This is a very big SUV. Its not a Corvette 😂😂
That can’t be it because it’s a 2004, unless I’m missing something I think the only limp mode is if a post 2010 diesel runs out of def fluid. Would be cool to see a 0-60 with one with a good motor
@rqlk my truck is an 04 and has a "limp mode" typically for clogged oil cooler or underboost/overboost conditions. Unless the turbo is out on this truck I can't think of any reason it would take 30 seconds to 60

sheesh i knew these things werent fast but something definitely was wrong with it. they should be doing around the 10 ish seconds 0-60.

It's absolutely have a problem in power in and acceleration

That's good!
30 seconds? I can run faster than that. But still, the Excursion is pretty cool.
Yep, about 30 seconds...
What's wrong with it? Most outlets report 0-60 in 11 seconds or less with the 6.0 diesel
No idea!

@@jakes5530 It should be about 18 seconds faster than what this one ran

Wow, that 0-60 was painful. School buses are passing this thing in disgust. LOL
It was about as fast as a schoolbus. Still driveable :)
Doubt anyone cares

@@vietnamrebel It's not a bad price, and it's in good shape! I'm sure it's a minimal issue which can be solved pretty easily.
I knew these things were slow, but the sound makes up for it.
That can't be normal, that's absolutely dangerous to drive.

They are great trucks!
Any 6.2 Sierra or silverados around you for you to test?
I'd have to look!
Finally a perfect test drive of an Excursion, thanks bro 💪
Thank you for watching!
That 0-60 was awful. I have a 99 f350 7.3l CCLB and its definitely way faster than this thing... which is saying something lol.
There is probably something wrong with it

Could be the case! The engine does sound fine.

The 0-60 should still be about 20 seconds quicker than what it ran here...
Next do a 2014 ford f350 6.7
“6.0’s don’t go, 6.4’s make you poor, 6.7’s go to heaven, and 7.3’s are where I wanna be.”
Interesting!
are you ok?
Damn my f250 gets 0-60 in about 8 seconds(tuned) stock it got it in about 9-10 30 seconds you would think its in limp mode
I think it may have been

my stepdad has one and his is fast. i don’t think he did any upgrades to it besides tinted windows
