I have a 2001 4x4 Trac. Do the front axles turn when in 2 wheel drive?? And, if so, do you think a inner cv joint, with very slight play,would cause a highway speed vibration?? Assuming all else is good, balancing, ball joints, bearings, etc.... Thanks

Well, my '97 X, which was totaled :( was in perfect shape besides the rockers. The design is poor with holes in them for the skirting and all the water sits inside the rocker. Well, I bought an '01 Sport Trac and the rockers and the rest of the truck is perfect. What can I do to prevent any...

How do I tell the difference?? My '01 sport trac sounded like pinging but then I was worried it could be the chain. So, I took it in and the dealer said it was pinging and they decarborized it and cleaned the injectors. Well, now it pings worse then before! So, how can I be sure which it...

How do you tell the difference?? I thought it was pinging at first then thought it could be the chain rattle. So, decided to take it to the dealership and they said it was pinging and decarberized it and cleaned the fuel injectors and now it seems worse?? Does this make sence??

My '97 Explorer had a real bad case of rear sag when towing or loaded up. I had to put coil over shocks on it, which worked great, but killed the ride. Will my '01 Sport Trac need anything to help it? Or do they have better springs to keep it level when loaded. Thanks!

What has everyone found to be the best (not most expensive) tires and shocks to improve the ride of an '01 Sport Trac?? Thanks for the advise!:rolleyes:

Well, its an '01, but new to me. So, anyone ever remove their roof rack bars?? I dont see much of need for them and wanted to clean it up a bit. Also, what about painting the grey plastic pieces to match the body color??

I am looking at an '01 with 54,000 miles on it. Looks pretty loaded up with leather and it is auto tranny with 4 wheel drive. It has the hard tonau cover. They are asking $13,900 but would go to $12,900. What do you think and what should I watch for when I go and see it?? Thanks

It was a bad day for my '97 X. I am bummed bad........ A lady on a cell phone not paying attention driving a Lexus SUV rammed me in the drivers door. No one hurt except for my truck. She smashed in both front and rear doors, caved in the rocker and bent in the piller inbetween the front and...

I have a '97 4 door w/o the running boards. But, it does have the plastic peices that cover the rockers. Well, underneith the one the rocker is in really bad shape. It is starting to show rust outside of were the plastic peice covers the rocker. What do body shops generally charge to replace...

Yes, I tried to search for this and I called 3 different Ford dealers and they all had a different answer. And none of them matched the Haynes manual! O.k. So, I have 100,000 miles and want to change the front and rear differential fluids. What type do I use. Does anyone know for sure? Also, I...

I had a new SS cat back put on some time ago and have had it back to the place (Tuffy) twice. The conections between the cat and muffler leak. I don't know if they don't line up good of if there is a donut gasket that they should have replaced or what. But, its really annoying. They used some...

I had the 00M12 done a while ago and the chain is just starting to rattle on cold start up. Now the idle seems fine. So, I was wondering how hard it would be to replace just the tensioners and not the intake gaskets. Or, do you have to pull that all apart to get to them. Or, can you just replace...

How do you like my new wheels!? http://www.cardomain.com/ride/799874

Will the stock tires from the 15x7 stock rims fit on 15x8 rims?

Can polished aluminum wheels be used in the winter with the salt on the roads w/o any harm. My first car I had Cragar SS chrome wheels on it and never ran them in the winter. Just thinking about a set of Eagle Alloys, and don't want to have them taken off before the snow flies every winter. Oh...

Is there a way to turn these off while the doors and/or back window is open? I do a lot of camping and rather then opening and closing the hatch all day, I like to just leave the back window open. The lights do go off after a while, a long while. But, then if some one opens a door they come on...

Where can I get one of these things?! It didn't come with the new filter.

Tried something different for the front of my "X". To many people had billet grills with the painted shell. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/799874

I wanted to post a picture of my truck, but I don't know how.

How do you know if it is bad? I thought for sure this is the cause of my clunking over bumps. And after removing the cover it looks like the kevlar patch is in good shape. Or could it be warn at the top were I can't see it unless I take it apart? I can see the patch all the way around it, still...

Are the rear hatch emblems the same? Will a 91-94 fit my 97?

What would cause a slight thumping/knocking noise in the front passenger area when going over bumps? The kicker is it only happens when under about 50 degress! And then only for the first few miles or so. Mostly when going straight. Dosnt matter speed or bump size. Sometimes backing down my...

I have never liked the orange blinker above the headlight. So, I replaced it with a clear bulb and cut the blinker wire to make it a parking kight only. It has almost acheived what I was looking for. Now I have orange marker and blinker/parking lights on the right and a clear headlight with a...

Is there such a thing? Has anyone had good luck with theirs not yellowing. And if so where and/or what type are they. Thanks,
