Finally got the bolts off to remove my front pads and rotors. Looks like my flexible brake lines need to be replaced while I'm in there. The connection where the flexible is threaded into by the hard line is rusted pretty bad. I keep spraying them with PB Blaster hoping I can get them apart...

In the past couple of weeks we became the new owners of a ’05 Sport Trac XLT 2wd with a K code VIN. We had been looking for a truck for Home Depot runs and general hauling. We had been talking with the previous owners about buying the truck when they thought it was still running, but when they...

Just finished running new ground leads to my new LED trailer lights. Looks like my 4 pin factory light connector is really corroded, as wiggling the connector causes the lights to go on and off. Tried cleaning it, but years have taken its toll. I know I've got to get under there, and get some...

Hi everyone. It's been a while since I have posted on here. That is a good thing because I haven't had any problems with my 2002 Explorer. However I just bought a 2005 ford explorer sport trac and I have a couple of questions about minor things. First I found out my dash lights don't all work...

Ok. I have had my Sport Trac for 12 years and am finally wanting to lift it. I've thought about this in the past and now it seems to be harder to find the kit that I will need. Well, I called several truck shops, and they couldn't find anything still made for the Sport Trac. Granted they...

Hey everyone! My sport trac started having this problem for a few months now. I noticed that this only happens when the engine is still cold. I'll let the engine run for about a minute or so, put it on drive and sometimes it feels like it's still in neutral, press on accelerator and it won't go...

My 2005 Sport Trac is running great, with one issue that has me wondering. Starting down the road I can watch the temp gauge slowly come up to mid range like it should. However once I turn on my heater fan my temp gauge drops quickly to about 1/4 range. I'm getting heat (maybe not all that I am...

I have a 2005 Sport Trac. Never had any issues with it. Went into the ditch yesterday, got pulled out, no start. Got towed home and started looking into it. Seemed to be my Inertia Switch, under the passenger side dash. Truck started right up, no issues. Drove it around last night, everything...

I am trying to drain my gas tank of bad gas. I have the fuel filter disconnected, and a hose attached. The fuel pump only pumps as it should for about ~2-3 seconds before shutting off. I am getting a good flow, but it will take me an eternity to pump out what appears to be over 1/4 of a tank. I...

We have a basic XLS, pretty much no packages, no keyless entry, no alarm etc. When we bought the car secondhand we were told this was a security device and to use this in case the car won't start. We assumed it was a Ford product. You press it once near the ignition and it lights up red, you...
