I have owned a 5.4L gas, 2002 Excursion for 3 years now and absolutely love it. No major problems at all. We use it as a Limo and have put 210K miles on it. Now, i have 3 problems as per below and wondering if i should get rid of it and get a 05 with low milage or what
1) Lately, when i start the vehicle, the "theft" sign goes on on the dash board, all the gagues go to their maximum limit, and the vehicle starts with a little hesitation. I have 2 years old battery and 1 year old alternator. I am wondering what could be the problem. This is on since a month now. The problem started with car not starting and starting with a jump start, then it always started but with a hesitation, then later it started with the "theft" blinking, and now at last, "theft" sometimes blinking sometimes not, and starts with hesitation on and off.. What to do???
2) I can't seem to get the wheels aligned. I put new all season tires, put all 4 ball joints, and got the wheel balanced and aligned. Now the car has about 10 degree + or -. It stays and goes straight but also goes and straight with a little left and right. Wierd, i just can't figure it out. One mechanic said to grease the ball joints which we did, the problem still exist.
3) The power of this vehicle is much down than before, should i redo the engine, or buy another vehicle, or do something to get it's power back. The vehicle goes just fine at 80 mph, but it is very noisy at low speed as it doesn't have that much power as a man...
I am new to this and the computer world, and may not learn quickly to thank all the replies but i am thankful to all possible replies with a warm regards.
Don't miss to watch the magnificent beautiful glowing full moon tonight. 12-13-08
Many thanks.
