    Stereo Issues - 2004 Sport Trac Adrenalin

    Hey everyone. Working on my 2004 Sport Trac. Today I was going to install a radio head unit. I got one free out of a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer. I opened up the plastic cover on the front of the truck and was surprised to see that the original owner of this truck hacked up the wiring harness. I...

    Alright, wheel hubs, let's go

    What's the deal with the wheel hubs on these vehicles? Does the two wheel drive Sport Trac have a smaller hub bore? I'm trying to buy some wheel spacers for my new (to me) 2004 Sport Trac to fit these 17" wheels off an 05 Explorer. I keep finding spacers that are apparently 2wd Explorer only...

    So I bought a Sport Trac

    Hey guys, long time no see! I stopped posting but I still come around a lot to see what's new and what crazy engine swaps you all do, however, I have news! I bought a Ford Explorer Sport Trac Adrenalin! It's a 2004 model year, and cost me $1200. It had basically every option available for these...

    So I bought a 1992 F150

    Regular cab, short box, 5.0l OHV, E40D transmission, 4x4, sport package. Paid $200 for it, has 289,000 km on it. Fairly clean, a few dents, some rust, you know. Tons of potential. Anyway, the transmission doesn't go into reverse. Can anyone get me a decent source on a step-by-step...

    Replaced both hubs, still ABS light on console

    So both hubs on the 2000 Mountaineer were replaced, along with both ABS sensors (1 per side), and yet the ABS dummy light on the console is still on. I don't think the ABS ride is affected, but would disconnecting the battery reset the ABS sensor information in the vehicle's computer? Perhaps...

    Goodnight, Sweet Prince.

    I was driving home from school at approximately 3 PM EST. And right before I hit an intersection, an old couple driving a sedan pulled in front of me. I didn't even have time to slam on the brakes. Total carnage ensued. I'm okay, but the older gentleman sustained serious injuries. My truck is...

    Ford is 'phasing out' the 347?

    I was watching Powerblock's new 'Search and Restore' today and was surprised when the fella from 'Horsepower' - one of PB's oldest shows - stated that Ford was 'phasing out' the 347 stroker in preference to the newer 363 based on the 302 block. Any news on this? How long before we can see an...

    Suggestions, fellas?

    Hey everyone. I was driving to work today when I noticed my truck was rather loud. My mind immediately jumped to the transmission and I shuddered in horror at that idea. However upon further inspection it turns out that my exhaust has snapped off right after the muffler (I have the Sport dual...

    Not Sure if Correct Forum - "SAS"

    Alright, gentlemen. This will be an information thread for now and potentially a build/SAS thread of sorts. Firstly, I will post the find I made today while taking a walk: First of all, for those of you who have done an solid axle swap - how practical is it? How does it affect the...

    A Practical Application for Dual In, Dual Out Muffler

    The Ford Explorer Sport in the second generation (like mine) was significant, as it did not have a Y pipe, but rather a dual in, single out muffler. Would it be possible to install a dual in - dual out muffler, and what would the practical benefits of this be?

    My Explorer is a Mess!

    Mechanically: she is sound. I have no complaints about the mechanical workings of my V6 SOHC engine. I have done a few mods and have increased performance to a comfortable level for a college student like myself. With that being said, the truck looks to be a mess. Keep in mind I live in...

    Newer Explorer rims (2005+) on an older (2000) Explorer (16")

    I understand there is an issue with the offset and rubbing occurs. Can I circumvent this with small spacers?

    Who wants free rims? (Canada)

    Don't know how long this little oversight will last. I placed my order, probably won't get them for free, still funny. http://www.kxwheels.com/wheel.php?q=eyJ3aWQiOiIxNTA3Iiwid2lkdGgiOiI4LjAwIiwiZGlhbWV0ZXIiOiI0IiwiYm9sdHBhdHRlcm4iOm51bGwsIm9mZnNldCI6IjUiLCJmaW5pc2giOiIxNSJ9

    A couple things in regards to my Explorer

    Hello everyone. I bought my used Explorer Sport from a junkyard for an excellent price. I've only driven a few vehicles and I must say that so far I am extremely impressed with my vehicle. When people ask me about it, all I can say is, "I couldn't have asked for a better vehicle". Most of the...

I'm looking forward to this website as my Sport is all stock but that will hopefully change now that I'm driving it...
