Tow truck ideas / advice
Hi, Our 2003 Diesel 7.3l Excursion is finally having issues (wobbly steering), spent $$$ getting it repaired, but that didn't fix the issue.... at this point we don't know whether to cut our losses.....

Well the only thing left is new tires. You've thrown everything else at .
Tires and drag link.
This thread is more of a “want” a newer pickup, not a “can’t fix the old Excursion.”
I get that. That ole Ford is getting long in the tooth. With 400k miles I wouldn’t have sunk that kind of money into it in the first place (likely…anyways unless it is the most pristine old 7.3 smoker you’ve ever seen). Even moreso if you’re not a diy mechanic.
At this point, rotate the tires (just because), cut your losses on the front end work and do what you really want and largely the best decision, find a newer truck.
Any 2014-newer ram 1500 if you’re good with beefing up the rear suspension. 2013-newer F150 Eco or 5.0 (a few annoying 5.0 issues to consider but overall a good choice). Or any 2015-newer GM 1500. 5.3 or 6.2. But I’d shy away from the 8 speed. And be aware of AfM issues with the LS motors.
