    Gas Mileage: Real Numbers: FYI

    The facts. 2007 Explorer 2wd, V-6, 65,000k on clock. Just came back from a round trip of approx. 2200 miles. 95% of it was driven on interstate and at a average speed via gps of 60 mph. Meaning I was pushing 75 for the most part. I cleared my mileage calculator at the start. When I...

    Loss Of Coolant

    Well you are right. Everything there was leaking, and it cost me $300.00 to get it fixed. $200 labor and $100 parts. Oh well FORD..fix or repair daily :rolleyes:

    Loss Of Coolant

    4.0 68k The other day I noticed my fan locking up and then the coolant light flashing on. I checked the coolant level and it was way down. Added more ( 1/2 gal) and made sure all the old crud was off the manifold. Took the truck out and ran it for 20 miles or so. Cooling OK but could...

    Crisper Shifting

    My 2007 to me shifts a little fast or to quick from 1st to 2nd. Is there something out there that will improve this. A new chip or burn the board like they do for diesels. If this makes no sense ask some questions, because I am not sure I am stating the question the way it makes sense...

    3000lb+ boat tow with v6?

    FWIW: I tow a 21' Seacraft in the same weight range, and I have no problems. It's not the towing...it's the stopping. Be sure and allow for plenty of space if the trailer does not have brakes.

    2007 Sport Trac Lid Connector Newbie ?

    The shock has small clip on each end. So you pop those off and the shock should pull off .

    2007 Sport Trac Lid Connector Newbie ?

    That has always been a Ford deal. Make a zillion different changes in the same model and in the same year. I think the new CEO has changed that philosophy.

    K Covers

    I checked the Under Cover out, and it looks good, except for my purpose the solid one piece cover won't work.

    K Covers

    What I see different between the bakflip and k covers is this. On the K Cover you can access the front or back of the bed. You only get 75 % access to the full bed. The bakflip allows you to access 100 % of the bed. The way I use my Sport Trac I like the K Cover better. Still...

    2007 Sport Trac Lid Connector Newbie ?

    Truck is gone for the weekend...(a buddy using it). When it shows up Sunday I will measure and take a picture of the whole set up. I think that this may have give Ford a little head ache in the warranty area and thus the switch in 2008.

    2007 Sport Trac Lid Connector Newbie ?

    The whole idea was not to spend $150.00 but to get a replacement part at a fair price. Thanks to ncranchero post I found the part for $16.00 To answer the other questions is yes I use the storage area, and I liked the idea of pulling the release catch and having the lid pop open. :D

    2007 Sport Trac Lid Connector Newbie ?

    Well maybe that explains why it cost $225.00 for the strut. The first year they put it in and after that they said hell with it. I think when you release the latch the strut is suppose to pop it and then lift it open and keep it in place. I will find out when I get the part.

    2007 Sport Trac Lid Connector Newbie ?

    Picture When looking at the rear window from the back of the truck it is on the left side of the hatch when it opens. It is approx. 8 inches long and 5.75 inches compressed. Where are you in SW FL? I am near Boca Grande (not Raton).

    2007 Sport Trac Lid Connector Newbie ?

    Thanks for the reply. That got me thinking. Where do you see a lot of those type of lifts? BOATS! I picked up my handy West Marine catalog and low and behold there was a whole page of them...there cost around $25. I also tried all the lift web sites and none of them had the...

    2007 Sport Trac Lid Connector Newbie ?

    Did some searching first, but no luck. I am sure this has been covered, but pardon me for being a newbie. In the front of the pick up box there is a storage compartment that goes left to right. To open it you pull a handle that is tucked up under the left side. The box lid is suppose to...
