ZERO luck locally, sourced Stratec keys from Amazon. Programmed to vehicle, using an unchipped key to cycle the ignition. Brought in for cut 2x - still fails to roll the cylinder. Anyone have a lead on a reputable locksmith online that goes by key code? (verified by locksmith and the wafers in...

The "kids" have a '98 Ranger "Farm Truck": 3.0L, 4R44E, 3.73LS, 30x9.5's, almost 200K on the odometer. The price was right, but there are issues. Primarily all the locks were broken or just not right. There were 2 keys (No PATS) but one was "freshly cut" (from a worn key), and the other is...

Looking to do some mods - I see lots of PML pan upgrades and I'd like to weld in a drain plug for my next filter swap. K? Thx

Going back to stock, need a pan to replace my long-gone steel... Zip 75071 Thx

Part I starts with the trans failing at 70,000 miles in August of 2010: Complete rebuild (under warranty), CVB Valve Body with SONNAX Mods and Superior Shift Kit and all was good for 80,000 miles. Part II started in December of 2017 - essentially, every time I've dropped the pan to replace the...

This is work in progress, but standby... More coming soon. The first thing we need to cover is: Why? "Just by a set for the 2005 Sport Trac" you say? Sure, I could, but I bought these when they were listed as 2001-2005 over 3 years ago and life got in the way. New job, big move, new house...

That's it, just need to see if there is a cam oiler rail... Thx!

Is it possible? I want the steeper first and second gears in my "older" trans. Thanks

We start with an upgrade to the head unit. "Easy enough" one might say, but I’m not known for doing anything “easy”… First our history lesson: The Adrenalin sound system is a Pioneer 6 disc head unit that was “cutting edge” when it was designed in 2002 - even when this unit was installed in...

This is a customer's vehicle with 32,000 miles and as long as I don't post identifying images/info they agreed to let me do testing since the vehicle was out of service until next week. Now, before anyone gets nit-picky, this is somewhat anecdotal as there is no controlled environment and no...

Replaced a condensor due to previous accident damage, when doing a radiator upgrade. So I figured, since the system was open, I'd replace the orifice/filter, seals and receiver/drier and flush the lines. We got any A/C Pros out there? Not like we need a reason to get together (GTG), but this...

I did this for the 1998 - and now it's time to do the '05: Link If you have any of the following injectors, let me know: 2005 Explorer 4.0L 2005 Explorer Sport Trac 4.0L 2005-6 Mountaineer 4.0L They are marked as follows: 5L2E-D1A - printed on the injector In catalogs (or @...

("…that's 2 "D's", for a double-dose of his pimping...") :D OK, the ST had electrolysis, and now winter hits with a radiator in mid-flush. Radiator flush and distilled water offer zero cooling system protection from freezing - actually worse than tap water. Even though the temps weren’t...

So, the Sport Trac is 5 years old, but we've had it for a year. After a failed left front hub, and the trans going south, I've decided to start from scratch with the maintenance/routine. So, fluids were first. The oil, trans, transfer case were recent, now the coolant. While testing, I...

Once removed from the trans and left to dry, the gaskets seem to lift and stretch over the paths. Can these be reused? Or do they have to be purchased new everytime we drop the VB? Thanks!

Original Thread Old VB is out - ouch. Can someone ID this shrapnel? Red circles are fallouts from what looks like the intermediate and overdrive bands: Close up of first shrapnel pile: Close up of second shrapnel pile: Close up of "gold dust" that was streaming...

I have the large plastic SW enclosure under the Driverside quarter seat. I'd like to move it elsewhere to regain function of the folding seat! Any ideas? Pix pls.

Well, after 3 Explorers, it's finally happened to me. The dreaded 2-3 Flare. The worst part is the total loss of overdrive (O/D Light flashing), the flare is tolerable (for now), but a 20%+ loss of fuel economy could be a show stopper. Since I have a flash tuner, I can bump the shift...

Searched and found nothing. I don't remember it always doing this, but I think it is an issue. I think it was AC was on in AC, Max AC nad defrost only. Now it is on in every setting except "Off". I've pulled the #2 relay fromn the underhood power distro box, since we aren't using AC at the...
