    6 years later still worth what I paid for it

    I picked up my sport track with less than 30K in March of 2009. It now has 120K and I just looked at nada values, and I think I can sell it for what I paid for it. I didn't believe it, but I see local ones on craigslist for $10K and higher. I paid $10K then, beating the carmax payoff...

    Spark Plugs

    I waited till 100,000 to change my plugs and regret it. 1- the boots were hard as hell to pull off the plugs 2- the plugs were hard as hell to unscrew 3- although the plugs looked fairly good for 100K, the gaps on the old plugs were totally out of spec I will not wait that long...

    Can you have the OEM tonneau cover and the bed extender in at the same time?

    I think I found a deal on a OEM tonneau cover with all hardware. I was looking at how it installs. Do the brackets block you from being able to use your bed extender? I am still debating getting the OEM one, versus a fabric one. I really have little need to lock stuff up, so I was thinking...

    OK, I had a friend of my son's start to complain of feeling car sick in the back seat of the Sport Trac. I chalked it up to his being a weenie cry baby. Now I take my kids canoeing an hour and a half away and my son makes the same complaint. Not that he is tuff as nails or anything, but...

    Missing seat belt button solution

    My new used Sport Trac was missing 2 seat belt buttons. The missing drivers belt one about drove me crazy! Ford wanted $32 bucks for a kit with three of them, all different collars. I tried a couple of belt clips from wally world and a local auto parts store, but they slid to the bottom too...

    Can I mix Mobile 1 ATF in with my current stock tranny fluid?

    I just purchased a 2005 Sport Trac (1st post here). I love it! Its now got 30K so its time to do some maintenance. Among other things, I plan to replace a percentage of the tranny fluid this weekend using my Moeller fluid vac, sucking it right out of the tranny dipstick tube. My question...
