    HELP replaced front rotor pads forgot inner wheel bearing

    Sounds like you might have messed up one of the wheel speed sensors. From your saying the abs might be false activating now. make sure the tone ring or the sensor isnt damaged. I cant remember how those 2wds are set up.

    Looking for tonneau cover strikers

    Picked mine up for 50 bucks on CL. I couldnt believe it when I i saw how much they wanted. good shape. only cost me 30 for two keys matched to the locks. but they do me no good without the strikers. Im sure the dealer will sell them for 25-30 each.

    Looking for tonneau cover strikers

    Im sure im not the only one around here looking. Got a killer deal on a factory hard cover but they didn't have the bed strikers as usual. got a new set of keys made but I still cant find a set of strikers anywhere. I searched all the junk yards around here but it seems sport tracs are just so...

    Moog Caster/Camber kit moving after set

    I have had a problem with mine coming loose. They dont seem to fit tight in the bushing. If I get to into it going into a turn one way or another I can hear them pop out of place.

    U joint

    Yes replace both, at least I do. not worth having to pull it back out when the other joint goes.

    Popped the CEL cherry.

    My fix was fuel injector cleaner and sea foam through the intake. What ever it was fixed it. Im guessing I had leaking injectors.

    Lifted Sport Tracs Picture Thread!

    Haha, seems these trucks enjoy the snow. Well the trac got a workout this weekend, from moving to a new job to flinging some mudd. My "buddy" directed me to a part of his property that should have "some" mud and obstacles to have fun with. About 30 yards in a felt the trac suddenly start to...

    Center console shifter

    Something I have been wanting to do since I bought the truck. I forgot exactly what year explorer they started doing the shifter in the center. Dont know if I should steal a whole center console from a newer explorer or I should look into other vehicle. Maybe this is something I can work into...

    Massive Oil Leak

    well that crush sleeve is there to set the pre load on the bearings, too much and you will burn up the bearings, too loose and you will have unnecessary play. I may be wrong but i do not think this is to far different than the diff in my dodge. So basically by blasting that nut as tight as you...

    Lifted Sport Tracs Picture Thread!

    I went from a 2wd sport which was almost completely useless to one of these. Then I got a decent job, but my wallet too stays empty and full of cob webs. This site does a great job of making us sport trac owners broke, and luring in new victims. This seems to be an addiction nobody wants to...

    I really haven't had the time to look too far into it, but has anyone had a problem with the switch not working when you buckle. The alarm is driving me nuts. Anybody run into this?

    Lifted Sport Tracs Picture Thread!

    Damn I like the Idea of that! Its cheaper and gives me the satisfaction of having my welds on there. And that is some serious steel on there.

    Could use some guidance

    I know for some weird reason my belt tensioner has a weird rattle or noise like your explaining, I just have not gotten around to changing it. If you are speaking about the door panels rattling, could be someone removed them for some reason before and never replaced the bad xmas tree clips or...

    cruise control noise

    I though it was that damn zip tie I put in there promising me 100 more hp. Just been too damn lazy to cut it out.

    I just stole some tires.........

    They are non directional surprisingly. They need some mud on them for sure, getting real sick of all this salt coating my truck.

    I just stole some tires.........

    they were discounted because a customer special ordered them. in the end he didn't want them I guess they were sitting there for a couple months. apparently they could not return them because they're special ordered. Yes they are the ones with Kevlar
