Does anyone have a copy of the toneau cover quick release project. None of the pictures are working on the link. Thanks.

Stock tires so don't think thats the issue. Havent checked the body mounts or sway bar links. Its possible. I took it for another spin and noticed the noise on any speed of turn. It gets louder the fast I go though. Sounds is definately from the rear. As I mentioned, I had a bearing...

Hey all, got a 04' 4x4 Sport Trac and recently I've noticed a grinding sound coming from the rear of the truck when making a left hand turn. Its only when I make the turn with some speed and seems to almost be the result of body roll. I've had a bearing go before and this is different. Like I...

Hey all, I have a 2004 4x4 Sport Trac. Got snow yesterday so I turned on 4x4 high and drove in the snow. Then once the roads started to clear up I turned it off. I hear clicking and the light on the dash works as expected, however the 4x4 didnt disengage until a mile or so and did so with a...

Just did my own for about $125 per side. If you can change your brakes you can change your bearing assembly. It went out at 55k miles.

I actually brougth the truck into a shop that does free diagnoses. They concluded it was the front drivers side hub. They quoted $450 so I said no thanks and ordered the part of advanced auto parts. The hub was a MOOG for $137 and the 32mm socket was $14. I used a coupon code (VISA) for $50 off...

I actually am going to get advanced auto Moog ones. They're about $140 but after coupon I can get it for about $105.

So, pretty sure I've either got a bad ABS sensor or bad hub bearing. My understanding is even if its the sensor the whole assemply needs to be replaced...correct? I see there are two through autozone. A timken for $160 and duralast for $109. Is it worth the extra $50 or has anyone had bad...

The truck is 4wd but I'm getting the problem when I'm in 2wd.

I know the title is weird but here's my problem. When I'm turning and braking (ie: parking space) sometimes the antilock kicks in and my brakes pulsate for the last bit of movement. I dont seem to have any problem during normal breaking or anything else. Any ideas as to why the antilock would...

I just got a refurb kindle fire last thursday and I couldnt be happier. It looks brand new (no scratches or anything) and it still comes with teh same warranty so theres no risk. I say go for it.

My driver side switch had gone bad on my 04. It was always on which makes for a long drive in the summer. I wired in a rocker switcht to my dash. Basically, the stock switch is still there but i can now turn the power to that switch on and off from the dash.

rmac, thats my same thoughts. I dont want to have to deal with batteries and I dont want ot deal with lights and illumination. I'm finding clock displays from other cars on ebay but just was wondering if I can just plug it in and go on my way.

Here's my dilema. I put in an aftermarket stereo but I can only have the clock or the song display up at one time. I want to add a clock display in the little storage bin underneath the headunit so that I have a clock and can display my song information. Can I just get any led clock display...

I did this with 5qts of Mobil1 EP and a Mobil 1 EP filter. Farm and fleet gave me a a new filter and 5 new qts of oil. They never questioned me and I didnt realize the old gasket on until I got home and started the process over. Oh well, live and learn.
