Any ideas on how you would repair a cracked OEM Tonneau Cover? I purchased it used, but it has this crack on it. I was figuring to fix it with epoxy. My plan was to use tape on each side of the crack to protect the tonneau cover finish. Then, apply an epoxy to the crack, and fill it in...

OK,let me see...my only comment I was not trying to criticize the simple error by my post. I merely thought it was funny that I for a quick moment I thought Sport Trac's in MS were getting much greater gas mileage. Until, I found the typo, and realized the simple mistake that anyone could...

Completely ignored! ;)

I had cupping tires, too. I thought it was shocks at first. But, it was due to the ball joints. The ST was at 89k, and it currently sits at 100k. I replaced both upper and lower ball joints. Also, at the same time, I did a little mod on the suspension. I was wanting a better control...

WOW! :D Check out this MPG Report in the link below. I wish my truck would do that!! ;) I saw that the Average MPG in Mississippi (MS) was 36.48 MPG and was wondering what the people in MS were doing to their ST to get such great performance. Just took me a second to see the...

I tried it myself, but found that I could not pound out the OEM lower ball joints. I had the fork & ball joint press tools. The cone of the press would not fit around the lower ball joint due to insufficent space between the edge of the ball joint and the edge of the lower control arm. I...

This link is one that should get you started.

I got the window motor repaired, so now I will see what Safelite does to fix the glass.

I pulled the window motor, and replaced it with a new one (rev.2) from Ford. As soon as I followed the initialization procedure (which came with the new motor and noted above), the window worked just fine. Thank's for the help. It was not hard to fix at all. The motor was broken...

Actually, I have not replaced my motor...but after re-reading...I noticed that you have.

-bump-

From searching the site, and found the re-initialization instructions from kefguy. (http://www.mysporttrac.com/shared/msgboard9e.asp?BOARDNAME=MSG&VIEW=740158&REPLYCOUNT=12&sitename=mysporttrac) -- snip -- from link above -- snip --- a. Start with the ignition key in the OFF position. b...

OK...I found out that insurance does cover it for 100 dollars deductable. My windshield has a crack across the top, so they will replace them both for the deductable. Not bad. Although, the Safelite guy said he had to roll down the back window so that he can replace the rear window panel. It...

CoastieJoe, thank's for the comparison prices...I will check around locally first and see what I find. Fmarano, Yes, it probably is covered by insurance...but I will have to check. Well, I am off to get it fixed this week...just thought it was strange.

I looked at it...but I did not see any unusual marks on the rim, nor pit marks or holes (suggestive of a BB). It does not really look like vandalism to me...but I don't know what it would look like...exactly. Not something, I see regularly on the weekend. Ha! ;) From the stress...
