- 01 Sport trac
I just bought a 2001 Sport Trac from an estate sale.
The truck was a one owner and was taken very good care of.
The tags expired in 2011 so the last time it ran was around that.
The motor is the Cologne 4.0
I had it towed to my home.
After finding that it had no fuel pressure and the fuel pump wasn't running I replaced the fuel pump.
The truck started right up but sounds bad on the top end, lots of clanking and rattling.
The oil pressure gauge shows as no pressure at all.
I ran the motor for around 30 seconds and then turned it off.
I did check the oil and it is to the full mark on the dipstick.
The truck has around 180k miles on it.
it is a 4x4
I am prepared to replace the motor if needed, however if I can get this one going it would be much better.
How should I proceed?
Thank you in advance!
