    Screw fell out from under dash & problem going in gear...

    This just happened to my Trac as well. Thanks for the replies to this thread. Being 6'1" Farm boy didn't make it an easy in or out-was JUST able to get there w/o removing seat. :chug:

    Always assumed all us 1st and 2nd gen guys and gurls are rednecks. Unfortunately some of us are stuck on the left coast amongst champagne elitists

    Yes Sir! I considered going w/ the longer version( Fleetguard LF16002 IIRC) of the 820 in my SOHC. But correspondence with couple of Ford Engineers I worked with in a previous life convinced me- not necessary unless your adding chemicals to loosen deposits. Their thought was change out every 5k...

    Ford explorer 2003 "jerking" on 4x4 auto but not in 4x4 high

    No It is engaged when shifted into park. If it did get sheared, the truck was more than likely still moving when it got shifted to park. I would follow thru with the ideas J_C Has pointed to

    Ford explorer 2003 "jerking" on 4x4 auto but not in 4x4 high

    There is a small metal pin called a pawl in the transmission that engages when in park. It may be sheared off

    My 99 EX-Camper Build

    I can't help with advice as I suck at body work. Just saying a Amazon side swiped my tractor in rush hour. I was poking along 8 mph and he Flys by in the HOV lane( illegally) and bounces off! Feeling your pain my friend

    03 fliptrac $700 daily driver (summer of fun with 4 sport tracs)

    God I hated the Trac when they first came out, I thought they were ugly *******s. In 05 I was trotting the lot of a dealership pondering replacing my 1st gen w/ a 3rd gen, and test drove a white one.The salesman asked if I ever considered the Sport Trac as we drove by a couple of em, and said...

    My thought is you have Sport Trac fever, and the only prescription is more Sport Trac. Gotta go! Ted Nugent "Sport Trac Fever" is coming up on the Juke

    I agree with this! Sorry but just catching up here. Be a real shame to have something bad happen to a cool little truck. Have you guys figured on a secret squirrel battery kill switch?

    Love this, Thanks! I can't lie, I'm losing sleep over that type of SHAG shop rag. At first I suspected 3 types, but now have ruled out frieze, and random, and settled on it being saxony 😈 🤪

    The tow truck needed a tow truck? I loved the Detroit 60, my brother has worked wrenching Detroits 40 years now and would always crank it up a tad. Now they only deal w/ marine applications. One of the pluses of my(assigned) Volvo is the D13(and I-Shift), we'll skip the minuses. It's been 14...
