    Height after 2" TT

    I am trying to figure out if my torsion bars are worn out or if the torsion bars had been cranked already. I was measuring from the top of the 16" rim to the bottom of the fender and had 12" on both driver and passenger sides, 14" on the back after my shackles. I noticed the driver side torsion...

    Submersible battery terminals

    Bare with me for a minute here. I am an idiot and accidently locked my keys in my truck today with the ignition in on. I noticed after my battery was already drained and couldn't use my keypad to get in the truck. I was lucky enough to have left the sunroof cracked open a little and was able to...

    Spacer size for 285 75 16 on stock wheels.

    I just got my grabber at2 285 75 16s in for my sport trac. I will be running them on stock wheels with warrior shackles and a 2" tt. I've made peace with knowing I'll have to do some trimming but wonder if anyone is running a spacer or adapter to reduce the amount of cutting that needs to be...

    Sport trac is very slow

    I have had my sport trac for about 6 months now. It's a 2004, stock with the stock size 255 tires. Previously I had a 99 sport and before that a 96 xlt. Compared to those, my st is a total dog. I know it is heavier, but this thing has 76k and a good service record when I bought it compared to...

    Can a 4.0 SOHC PCM be tuned for a 5.0?

    Like the title states, can a SOHC PCM be tuned for a 5.0 motor? I know they are totally different motors, but I am tossing around the idea of swapping just the 5.0 in place of the 4.0, leaving the existing trans and everything else but not sure if the pcm in the 4.0 is even capable of...

    Sport trac won't start, rolling in park

    Hey everyone. So over the past few days my shifter has felt loose ie I have to pull it down to second to get it in drive then just manually move it back to d. I checked and tightened the tire screws under the column that like to loosen up but it seems like I'll need to adjust the linkage as...

    Who has changed their Pioneer 6 disc for aftermarket HU?

    What is the purpose of a line output converter? I was under the impression that using the right harness adapter would be all that is needed. Any idea which converter you used, there seems to be several

    Who has changed their Pioneer 6 disc for aftermarket HU?

    Looking for some advice. I have an 04 with the adrenalin package(pioneer 6 disc, amp, sub). I got the metra 70-5517 harness to connect to a Pioneer head unit, wired everything up on the main harness, attached the blue/white remote wire to the smaller harness blue/ white wire, amp ground to the...

    Rough Idle issues

    I did a bit of searching and didn't find any issues that seemed to match my problem exactly. I have had my sport trac for about 2 weeks and over the past 2 days, it went from having a smooth idle to a small shake. It is barely noticeable on the tach but you can feel it in your seat enough at a...

    Looking for Black housing headlights

    That's actually what I planned on. I bought a set of clear corners and black headlights/corners and planned to toss them in the oven and seperate them while keeping steady heat from a heat gun on them to swap lenses. I've done this on my Grand Prix and Camaro before. How did you go about opening...

    Looking for Black housing headlights

    Well that's just silly that they still sell clear corners but not black housing clear corners. Thank you both, I guess I'll order a set of clear corners and swap reflectors with the orange reflector in the black housing

    Looking for Black housing headlights

    I'm in the process of trying to find a set of black housing headlights. I've seen the ones posted all over ebay but am only finding sets with the orange reflector in the corner. Does anyone know where I can find a set of black housings with a clear reflector?

    What's my truck worth?

    Hey everyone. I just bought a new(to me) sport trac and am getting ready to get rid of my 99 explorer sport. I was planning to just bring it to the junk yard but a friend said they wanted it. I told him to give me scrap value for it, but he countered insisting he give me 1000 for it which I...

    Questions on Sport Trac Timing chain tensioner update

    I'm going to look at an 02 sport trac in a few days. I was looking for an 03-up specifically but the price on this seems right and has all the options I'd prefer. My only gripe is I know the timing chain guides on the sohc were updated part way through 02. Is there a particular build date when...

    sport pulls to one side when 4wd engages

    Tires are all the same. I'm not positive that the gear sizes are the same as I haven't checked rotation of the front. Aside from the 4wd lightd flashing recently while I drive it seems fine. I haven't swapped the shift motor yet since i pulled the front ds anyway.

    sport pulls to one side when 4wd engages

    I have a 99 sport that had a bad t case. The issue I'm having was evident then but I attributed it to the transfer case slipping. Whenever 4wd engages, the wheels and steering wheel jerk left. What could the cause of this be? Possible that one of the hubs isn't engaging? How would I cgeck this...

    2nd gen parts

    Any chance you could get a shipping price on the t-case to 07016? I am in desperate need of one, however you are a bit far for me to drive to.

    99 explorer won't shift from 2-3 above 3000 rpm

    Anyone ever seen this or know the solution? The truck will shift fine in all gears but won't shift from 2-3 when rpm's are above 3k. This is on a 99 EB with an auto trans

    Can a 96 XLT Tcase be swapped to a 99 sport?

    So my 96 blew the trans again a few months ago. I opted not to put a new trans in it since the job was such a pain and since practically everything else was wrong with it too(all 4 ball joints totally shot, headlight switch finnicky, turn signal stalk bad, speakers blown, hotwired since my...

    egr tube blew out of intake

    So I had a really bad coolant leak coming from my LIM gaskets, just got done putting the top end back together. Changed the oil, started it up, it ran fairly smooth. Shut it down, did another oil change to get any left over coolant out of the oil, start it back up and its running like crap...

    Another thread with vibration issues

    Alright, so I looked around and couldn't find much matching my issue Since I got the truck I have had a veeery slight vibration around 60. Last week, I noticed when I was coasting that there was a vibration at low speeds( If i let go of the steering wheel, it shimmy's back and forth with a...
