Ford ExcursionIn terms of size, the Ford Excursion is the king of big sport-utilities. Supremely stable at speed, it feels safe and secure on the open highway. Whether you have a lot of cargo to carry, a bunch of people to transport, a big trailer to pull, or all of the above, the Excursion is ready for whatever you throw its way. It can tow up to 11,000 pounds and seat 8-9.
I have 150k miles on my Excursion and the "Service Engine Soon" amber light has come on. Auto Zone read the codes and said the upper Oxygen sensors in (track?, zone?, bank?) 1 and 2 need to be replaced. I am trying to understand that and determin if it is something I can do myself.
I understand with the V10 I need to jack the vehicle to get at the Oxygen sensors.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes rarely say that a specific part is faulty. It is more likely that is said something like "Bank 1 lean", which could be several other problems.
Go back to AutoZone. Ask them to pull the codes and report the exact codes back here.

Ok, so I tried to identify a vaccum leak using the propane torch approach....nothing found. Finally went to Ford and determined it was a mass air flow sensor problem. Works fine now.
glad to hear it wasn't anything major and that problem was resolved. thanks for the verdict!
