    I feels like my Sport Trac is in AWD all the time but no AWD light on.

    I've always used Timken brand bearings. They're a little more expensive but I've never had an issue with that brand in any vehicle I've owned.

    Reviving Green Machine

    Did you not see the list of modifications? Items such as: These are the things that make is special, and we should chip in for it. You should have seen the video of it on Facebook. Someone was filming it for him. It showed the truck rolling backwards while he was flooring it on and...

    Gen 2 PARTS and ACCESSORIES

    I hadn't seen that model of cap before, but am now looking into it more! The lines on it are much better looking than others I've seen in the past. What's the brand on the bed cover? I like the flush mount fitment on it. Still semi-weatherproof?

    Reviving Green Machine

    He wants you to pay for getting it fixed. He believes it to have historical significance to the club because of the previous owner, so thinks the club should want to pay for repairs. He's been posting the links to his "go fund me" type page in a couple of ST Facebook groups. I don't think...

    UHAUL

    I saw this post on the Facebook page the other day and I was curious if anything had changed since it had been years (still had my Gen 1 or had just got my Gen 2) since I'd looked to see if UHaul had updated the restriction. Prior it seemed that just the name "Explorer" sent up the block on...

    cylinder 1 misfire

    Sounds like it might be a coil pack again. I replaced all 8 at once after I got tired of trying to determine which one was giving me my issue (I could feel the misfire, but it wasn't enough to set off the CEL or show up in datalogging). After spending lots of time looking at the options and...

    highway shudder

    8 new coil packs fixed the issue for me back when I was having the same problem. It's at a certain RPM that it does it (cruising speed on the highway in top gear usually under light acceleration). Turning off the OD drops it down out of top gear and into a higher RPM making it go away...

    A little more "bling" for Black Diamond

    Flex letters? Fills in the open grille nicely!

    Need headlight feed suggestions...

    When I did mine in the '07 I discovered that the dimmer wire in the factory harness behind the radio didn't actually function as the dimmer for aftermarket head units. I think it's controlled by the CAN-BUS and the afdtermarket units can't read the signal provided. I've been through an AVIC-Z1...

    2nd Gen seats in a 1st Gen

    Are the airbags standard in the 2nd gen seats? I can't recall if it was a option to get the side impact bags and curtain bags when I was checking the boxes on my order form. If it has the bags in the seats you might look at removing them before installing. If you post up the first gen...

    fixing window

    3M makes a product called window weld. You can either buy it online or most auto part stores carry it. There's also a primer available that you should use as well. Try to remove as much of the old adhesive as you can and if you're able to clamp the window to the regulator while it cures. If...

    Brake light / fluid + ABS light = radio cuts out?

    Having a battery or charging system that is failing can cause those symptoms. What's the resting voltage on your battery (Should be about 12.5v) and with the vehicle idling it should read around 14v. Check that and go from there.

    Starting Issue

    :smack: Please change those and go from there. The important bits are on the inside and not visible. They can wear a spot and arc to anything they touch as well and still "look" fairly normal. This can affect performance and cause the issue you're chasing.

    Blue is back home!!

    You diagnosis looks nearly identical to mine and the write up is similar as well. Mine is an '07 though. Wonder if we had the same internal failure?? Mine ended up needing a driveshaft as well, and I had the Transfer case opened and checked. If it busted the driveshaft mounts I wanted to be...

    Glasses Holder

    Anyone know if the motor for the sunroof (on sunroof equipped vehicles) is up front under the overhead console? In my older Ford vehicles the motor was in the rear, but looking at my headliner in the Trac it looks like the only place it could go is under there. I tried pulling it down, but...
