Sport Trac - Ranger - Street Trucks

Although there are many posts on valve train timing I have yet to see one that shows a picture of the cam lobe position of #1 and #5 cylinder. It appears to me that the reference to the crankshaft at TDC for #1 and #5 leaves the cam on the right side with the offcenter slot for the cam holding tool 180 degrees out of time....the left side is fine, it just evacuated..the right side shows lobe to be standing straight up, a 1/2 turn from end of compression, and the offcenter slot is opposite the left. Any suggestions??--guess i could include the details of the engine--- 4.0 L sohc (E)..125,000 mi.---replacing , #1 piston, wrist pin, and rod---main and rod bearings. piston rings...and all timing chains and sprockets.

Found this registry after I set mine up in the main forum. Just trying to get some more activity going on over here. We all like to see pics!! Especially of non muddy trucks :p:

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, and an actual shop - time to install them! I matched them up with a Felpro exhaust manifold gasket I had and looking through the slit in the fenderwell, I called it good. Not quite.

hello everyone finally the eddie is on the road. i dont have a whole lot of drop in it yet only about enough the compensate for the glorious rear end squat on these. here are some pictures. not very good pictures but here are the stats so far: 1.5 drop in front 17" lincoln aviator wheels (very ****ty offset!) ebay intake magnaflow 2.5" exhaust hypertech tuner and a ton of tune up work

Changing spark plugs at 107,00 miles. Would appreciate some advice as to where to find them, I hear they are to be removed rather delicately from under the coils. Where do we find the coils???? We are used to workin on much older engines, thanks

Thanks to Explorer Forum, I've been infected by the need to modify my Explorer! :D Thanks for all the great write-ups and advice! So far I've only installed new wheels and tires and a bull bar. Will be working on installing Flowmaster Delta 40s and KC driving lights this weekend. Also debating whether or not I should lower it by an inch.. I had to cut some of the plastic inner fender trim off so the tires wouldn't rub near full lock. Let me know what you think! :salute:

I am getting ready to tune up my sport Trac and was wondering if anyone has done so recently using the new E3 spark plug? Also if installing New spark plug wires which ones to use Thanks, Dave

Hi all! I just bought a '94 ex-sport (2 door) and was wondering of any ideas anyone has for mods. Almost everything is stock except the CD changer. Any help is appreciated!

I have a '01 sport and want to get a front bumper gaurd, who's got one and what do you recommend, where to buy? etc etc. Much appreciate any help;)

Thanks, its Ford SVT Deep Pearl metallic. Its the same color they paint the 2002 Focus SVT and the Cobra's.

Folks I would like your input...... I bought my 02 xsport in Aug of last year and was completely thrilled with what I got. Was exact color and options that I wanted. I had it brought 250 miles from a different dealer than the one I purchased it from. I joined this board and have found so much useful info and tips from all of you and became very excited about all of the potential my new x has. But, some things have come about that have been very discouraging to me. In less than a year my truck has been back for warranty repair on the following items in no particular order: rear pinion seal, replace head unit, replace steering column bearings, bad vibration in braking, lower door moulding falling off, and lighting on cruise...

Hello all. I just picked this up about a week ago & am currently fixing minor problems with it. But as always I plan on doing some work. Right now it's all stock, down to the dirty air filter. But in really, really good shape. I dont plan on going crazy with it, just nice simple upgrades( dont we all just say that:) ) .Right now all I have done to it is a Clifford G4 alarm system & a simple system that suits my needs. Consisting of a pioneer hu, BA door speakers & a 8" bass tube in the back. I cant make it too loud because of my 2 year old son. But plans for it are as follows. First & foremost lowering kit. It will have about a 2" drop. 18" rims which i'm ordering next week after T-giving. Flowmaster muffler (still doing...
