Good information. That's what I'm finding out from other shops as well. Seems too high.

I bought a 2003 4x2 brand new. Drove it for 230k miles with no major issues. It was totaled in an accident but I had enjoyed driving my truck so much that I bought a 2005 4x4 from Carmax with about 100k miles because of that great experience I had with my original truck. I just wanted to get...

I did the same thing about two years ago. Went from 2003 4x2 with Limited Slip to a 2005 4x4 Adrenalin. Haven't had any issues with the 4wd. Works great. I do have one question I haven't been able to find answer on the forum. I'm curious as to whether the transfer case can be...

That's correct. I replaced my the entire truck. Went from an '03 to an '05. I'm just curious as to how well the 4x4 drivetrain holds up; if there are things I need to look out for. The truck was well maintained meaning regular maintenance including fluids. I didn't have any issues with my '03...

I just replaced my 2003 XLT 4x2 Limited Slip with a 2005 Adrenaline open differential and am wondering how reliable the 4wd system is on this model. I had next to no problems with my '03 in the 11 years I owned it since new and I'm hoping this 2005 will be the same. It runs great but I'm...

And the seat will have the same folding mechanism like any other XLT, correct?

I'm considering the purchase of an '05 Adrenalin to replace my '03 XLT and am wondering if the sub under seat can be removed so that the seats can fold flat like they currently do on my truck. I searched the site and it doesn't seem like anyone has done this before. Thanks.

Replaced the housing and thermostat with no leaks and the cooling system appearing to be back to normal. Once again, thanks for the help/advice. I must say, my ST has been a very reliable animal after 9 years of use and 173k+ miles of driving. This has been the biggest issue I've had to date and...

Thanks for all the advice. I'm halfway through the R&R of the housing. It hasn't been too bad although getting the right most sensor out and working the heater hose and small hose off leading to the pump seem to have been the most challenging. Installing the lower housing and the sensors wasn't...

It appears that I simply didn't put enough coolant back in after my incident yesterday leading to it overheating again as I tried to isolate the problem. With the coolant topped off, the engine warmed up to "normal" temp and held while the coolant blew past the housing causing a nice pool...

Yesterday, my Trac started running hot while I was driving it. Pulled over and notice coolant was spewing from thermostat housing. Could this alone be enough to cause the engine to run hot? And when I say hot, it was 253+ degrees easy. I'm just hoping I don't have a water pump issue at the same...

The bolt on my negative cable connector is completely rusted out. I’ve tried a number of different tools in an attempt to work the bolt loose with no luck. The only other things I can think of to get the connector off intact is to either drill out the bolt or use a cut off wheel. My concern is...

You can build one on Ford's site. I did this on Sunday. It's a package and not a trim.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but they had a copy of the Adrenalin at the Tarrant County Auto Show in Fort Worth, TX. The truck looked good! I'm ready to trade in my '03.

Why are we trying to make this a dog, cat, turkey, cow thing?! The point is (as it has been stated a few times) his activities were illegal. Period!!!! If we're saying he shouldn't be punished for the crime he committed then we have problems.
