    05 Sport Track 2 sensor Thermostat Housing

    If I decide to do an electric fan I'm going to keep my 2port so I can get a temp controller to screw in and then control a mark VIII fan and use an open relay spot under the hood for power

    02 Sport Trac Bogs down while trying to accelerate

    possible it can be the transmission not downshifting and allowing the RPMs to run up. on older vehicles there was a seperate cable that would downshift the trans to allow acceleration on these computer controlled trans i dont know

    Gas milage issues.

    1. E85 will always net a 25-30% loss in MPG. 2. your mileage doesn't account for the minutes untraveled warming it up 3. when your car is cold started it runs up the rpms and shoves more fuel in till it warms up this also consumes more fuel.

    The big difference between 01-03 style and the 04-05 is the door panel (Handle and speaker grill) and also the 04-05 have a digital odometer and a desperate switch panel for headlights that integrated fog lights into there instead of the radio bezel

    Starting issue - 2001 4.0L Sport Trac

    easy way to eliminate the switch as the culprit is to bypass it. unplug it and and use a 12 guage piece of wire to jump the two wires together try this for a few days and see if your starting issue goes away. by no means should you permanently disable this switch as if someone rear ends you and...

    Body Lift: To Remove or Not To Remove

    dude leave it as your flex pic highlights the rear wheel tucks fully in to the fender and any bigger wheel or less lift would require you to remove the cladding and or cut the fenders (fiberglass work blows)

    4.0 SOHC Supercharger Kit - 02-05 Sport Tracs/2dr Sports

    we established its for job2 SOHC 4.0 motors but issue remains on fuel lines and more importantly the later models with a FPDM that works as a regulator on the pump due to being a returnless system. also FFV motors these issues might want/need to addressed as many will get tired of only 3-4PSI...

    Mounty side mirror puddle lights on an Sport Trac

    the plugs match and the standard three pins that your power mirrored trac have match the puddles and/or heated. issue is running a single wire from your dome, switch, keyless entry, etc. its not a hard upgrade from a factory trac w/ power mirrors.

    Mounty side mirror puddle lights on an Sport Trac

    Definitely not plug and play. the plugs and pins match but the fourth wire pin will be empty. The wiring is simple if you already have power mirrors as you only need to run a triggered hot for lamps. I tapped my dome light. Each mirror plug end has two motor hots, and a ground. The 4-5 wire is...
