    torsion bolt specs

    Hey there, I just tried to do a TT but I could only get 1 3/4 turns out of the drivers side before it bottomed out. Would anyone happen to have the stock specs of the bolts so that i can go and get some longer ones. Thanks

    TT issue

    Its a one piece unit from monroe for towing and hauling. My rear would drop considerably with any load and now I can add over 1000 lbs before it drops any. I love them and was the best mod i've done so far. this is the link http://www.monroe.com/products/sensatrac_loadadjustshocks.asp Later

    Transmission pan debris

    I found some in my pan when I did an oil change and it kinda scared me but the I realized they were from the gasket. There should be a bunch of them fall out once you remove the old gasket. They keep uniform thickness.

    TT issue

    Kinda what I thought. As it sits (before and now) the drivers side front and back sits 3/8's to 1/2" and inch higher than the pass. Too bad I'm scheduled for a wheel alignment tomorrow..... thanks

    TT issue

    Hey there, last night I tried to do a TT to lift the front 1.5"-2" to match the lift in the rear from coil overs I added. Only problem is that the torsion bolt for the drivers side was almost all the way in and on the pass side had at least 1.5" of thread. I managed to get 1 3/4 turns out of...

    front diff vent tube leaking

    No, it just started leaking from there 2 weeks ago. If the fluid is only 6 months old what would changing it do? I did use synthetic fluid for the change btw. Any other suggestions. Thanks

    front diff vent tube leaking

    Just wondering what would cause fluid to out of nowhere start leaking out of my front diff vent tube. I changed the fluid in Sept when I had to change a pinion seal with only normal winter driving since then. I did notice it after using 4x4 a couple of time last week but not sure why that would...

    realy stupid question........

    Nope, if I just start the truck it stays on the radio station the whole time until I hit the clock button. If i hit the clock button and then adjust the volume it will go back to the clock after 5 seconds. Like I mentioned it is just a pet pieve, and it some one knew how to make it so that...

    realy stupid question........

    Ok here it is, how do you get the time/clock to default on the CD player........ yep that's it. I have an 03 with basic CD player and everytime I want to see the time I have to press clock and it stays there until I turn off the truck. When I turn it back on the radio station defaults back...

    need to stiffen up the rear

    I never thought about just putting air shocks on. Has anyone tried them on their ST's. I think the ride quality would be poor but I guess it would also be that way with AAL's.

    need to stiffen up the rear

    Hey there, I use my ST for towing a small travel trailer etc and the rear sags like crazy as soon as I hook up or anything is put in the box. I searched the site and found that guys were using Napa AAL's and aparently these are not offered in Canada (only a US item). What other options do I...

    clicking noise during idle question

    That makes sense. I usually keep it on defrost/floor so it would be on. When you say clutch to cycle do you mean on the compressor itsalef? Thanks

    clicking noise during idle question

    Hey there, my sport trac makes a weird noise during idle. About every 45 seconds to a minute it makes like a clicking sound (just once). The rpm's don't change, it just makes this noice and I don't know what it is. My old 96 Ranger I used to have would do the same thing but the idle would...

    Hi all, just wondering if anyone knows off hand what size the yoke nut is on the front diff of my 03 sport trac. I want to make sure I have everthing before I start. Thanks

    front diff yoke nut

    Thanks, I think I have a good idea of what to do but I can not seem to find anywhere the actual size of the yoke nut. Just want to make sure I have it before I change out the seal. Thanks

    front diff yoke nut

    just wondering what size the front yoke nut is? Mine just started leaking and I want to make sure I have everything before I start taking things apart. And what is the proper name for the seal? Yoke or pinion. Thanks

    exhaust setups

    Thanks for the replies, just wondering if you notice any real power increases doing an aftermarket exhaust on these ST's. I tow a small trailer in the summer and it would be nice to have a little more "jam" when I need it. Something that sounds cool would be nice as well. I put a magnaflow...

    exhaust setups

    Hey there, just wondering what you guys were doing for your exhaust. Aftermarket, or custom and what were your thoughts. Did it make a big improvment over all in how your sport trac perfomes? Thanks

    emergency brake adjustment

    Hey there, just wondering how to adjust the emergency brake on my 03 Sport Trac? Right now I have to push it all the way to the floor and it will just hold it from rolling. Any help would be great. Thanks

    trans cooler question

    Thanks for the reply, after taking a close look at it I realized it was kind of a stupid question as there is basically no other way to do it. I tackled it on the weekend as well as doing a trans pan drop and fluid/filter change. I plan on doing most of the mods you listed but it seems like a...

    tranny question.....

    Thanks for the info, just a quick question though. It states by those specs that I should have the 5R55W5 trans but when I search this site I keep finding that this trans should not have a dipstick but mine does. Could mine actually be a late 2002 version or something? Is there another way to...

    tranny question.....

    Hey there, so I picked up my 03 sport trac a couple of weeks ago with the intent of pulling our small trailer and hauling the fam damily around for this camping season. Tonight I installed another tranny cooler and after doing a bunch of research on the site I was going to attempt a tranny pan...

    trans cooler question

    Hey all, I am getting my 03 sport trac ready to tow my 2400# (dry) trailer and I just picked up another trans cooler for it. I am just wondering if it is a good idea to just put it in series with the stock one or if there is a better way to hook it up? I have been searching the site but it looks...
