Hi all, Just thought I would start a thread about what I am guessing is a pretty common issue. The worn leather on the OEM steering wheel. When I originally bought I purchased a WheelSkins steering wheel cover for around 50 bucks. It was camel in color I do believe and pretty much a perfect...

Hi all, I have just been looking into the function of the 5R55s transmission in my sport trac. I think I understand the function of the bands during shifting with the OD enabled. I was just wondering how the shifting function changes when OD is disabled, and what the effects are on the bands...

First time I have saw this failure. My 5 year old battery was replaced a month or so ago. After filling up with gas at the gas station my check charging system light came on. After work I went home and load tested the battery, it was a little low, but it was reading 12.2v. Threw the charger on...

Anyone have any experience changing one on the drive shaft on a 08? Will the 01 to 07 fit? I have seen it listed as fitting up to a 2010, but most sites claim it only fits to 07. For 50 bucks on rock auto I will probably take a chance.

Just curious, does anyone know why the drivers side timing chain tensioner on the 4.0l SOHC has that large cylinder sticking out of it versus the flat passenger side tensioner? Anyone ever taken one apart?

Any disadvantage to putting in a 88c thermostat versus the factory 92c thermostat on a 4.0l? It was all they had in stock at the time.

Parked beside a new Colorado 4x4 in town today and All I can say is damn, there is my t6 Ranger / next gen Sport Trac. Looks like the clearance is better than the Sport Trac and its a little taller on top too. Nice looking rig, that's for sure. Anyone drove one yet? Are they as much of a rattle...

Interesting. I see the fellow that makes these out in BC has an account on here. Best deal I could find on an Ford Eaton M90 is around 500 bucks used. From the looks of it you don't need to even tune until you go over 3.5lbs of boost...

Another question, Will the 07 Ranger 4.0L fit in the 07 explorer? With the manifolds and flex plate, and fuel rails swapped of course? I found a real good deal on a low km unit from a salvage yard just by chance. only 60k kms. supposedly runs really good. Both E 8th digit.

Anyone know the OEM part number for the camshaft bearing cap bolts on the 2007 ford 4.0L?

Hi all, I just pulled the exhaust manifold to have it planed, and I noticed the holes seem to be larger than the studs were in diameter. Do the new studs come with some type of grommet or is it built into the gasket or are my manifolds pooched? would like to find out before I go and get them...

Hi all, Anyone have a guide to change the front timing chain tensioner on a 07 v6? Mine grenaded today. the chain is still there, and the engine still runs fine, but you can sure hear that chain a rattling on the way home today. The shop told me they wouldn't touch it, they want to swap the...

I have a nice little rattle that comes up at around 900rpm, and is gone before the tac hits 1000 rpm. Its intermittent and seems to happen more when it is in drive but is still there in park. Its also more prevalent when cold. Sounds almost like a loose heat shield, and from the driver seat it...

Hi all, I just thought I would share some info I found on installing an aftermarket stereo in a Sport Trac with the factory sub. Now everyone knows about the pop that is caused by the 12v supply from an aftermarket stereo remote line, and installing a 1.5K resistor in series to drop the voltage...

Anyone try these? If the explorer fit it could be an alternative to the truxxx lift. http://www.gorancho.com/shocks.php?shock=quickLIFT_Loaded

Hi All, I have a slow fuel fill issue that has been progressively getting worse. No lights on the dash but if I go over half on any of the pumps anymore it kicks off the pump. My guess is a vent of some sort being plugged. How do I go about getting at the vent lines to clean them out. I would...

Anyone know if a 09 shaker 500 6 disk out of a mustang will swap out for the premium sport trac stereo in an 07? The cam bus lines and pin out for everything else is exactly the same. I guess it just depends if the signals are the same on those bus lines. I have a 05 f150 premium in there...

Well, We got about 20cm of snow last night and the temperature this morning was -5c when I left for work. Luckily, last Wednesday I went ahead and put my 245/65/15 Blizzaks on. I must say, anyone who drives a Sport Trac in this type of climate, this is one of the best investments you could...

Oops, Managed to clip and break the passenger side mirror while yelling at the boy and backing out of the garage at the same time. I managed to break off the whole panel for the mirror, not just shatter the mirror. 100 bucks seems a little steep, because it would be 30 without the stupid...

Anyone know the torque spec for the upper control arm bolts and the upper ball joint nut on the 07 sport trac off hand?

Ever wonder what wheels will fit your rig? I was poking around Kijiji looking for winter rims for my sport trac. After hunting for bolt pattern information I came across this. Enjoy! http://www.myboltpattern.com/bolt-pattern-guide/side-by-side-bolt-patterns/

Well, its been a little over a year with my sport trac, And I do like the truck a lot. The repairs though, do suck. I think I have taken care of most of the common repairs listed on the site as well as the regular maintenance. I was wondering if their is anything else I should be looking out...

Diffrent Radiators Hi all, anyone have any idea what the difference is between the 2 rad builds in the 07 4.0L? Mine is the early build but I was just curious about any differences between the two. They are the CU2952 and the one I need CU2816.

Well, Last night the temp finaly droped below 0 here. On my way home from the curling rink last night i managed to snap the driver door handle. It still opens the door, but the pivot on the front broke. I have a replacment on order, but I was wondering how common of a failure this is? Is it...

Hi all, With the fall season here and winter around the corner, I just went down to the local Costco and ordered up a set of 245/65/R17's Blizzak's for the Sport Trac. Right now I am running a set of Coopers, but this will be there last season. I was just wondering if anyone had any...

Hi all, Does anyone know the Part number for the bumpers on the end of the bed extender? Went to order a replacement today and they only have the entire kit listed at my dealership, not the bumpers. If I had a PN they could probably order it. Tasca shows them individually but sadly not part number.

Well, I went ahead and got myself a bently style grill for the ST. She looks sharp. One problem... It definatly wasnt designed for the great white north, it hides the plugin for the block heater. Doesnt matter much now, but when she hits -40 in 7 months, I sure would like to be able to plug her...

went out to my truck today and low and behold, if it didnt manage to generate a crack down the center of the guage cluster lens over the weekend. I was online looking for a replacment, and it looks as though there are 2. 1 with message center, 1 without. How do I know which one I will need, and...

Hi all, Just wondering what all a guy needs to do to keep the sunroof in tip top condition or if they are maintenece free. Do they require you to grease the tracks, and if so, what type of grease is required?

Hi all, Quick question, Do you need an adapter other then the wiring harness adapter in order to install a JVC double din connector in a 07 Sport trac? or is it as easy as putting the sleve in, bending the tabs, pluging in the dec, sliding it in and pressing on the bezel?

Hi All, Just traded in my 08 Ranger for a 07 Sport Trac 4x4. Was looking for info on the 6 disc changer that didnt work and I came across this site. Looked interesting so I decided to join. As for the 6 disc changer, I think im going to track down a used one (have a working one lined up for...
