Been getting quotes for flowmaster exhaust showing them pictures of installs from this site. Shop 1 says it can route the drivers side pipe but will have welds to make the turns. My question: Can this be done without welds? Does a good shop know how to get this done without having to make weak...

Very happy with the Zabteck throttle body for my 04. Had an issue with engine light coming on and Todd walked me through the procedure to adjust my idle adjust screw. No problems now. This throttle body makes a very noticable difference and the Trac runs much better. Good product, prompt...

Istalled the Job 2 plastic throttle body yesturday. Went smoothly - took a test drive and could feel the difference. Driving to work this morning the check engine light came on. The irony is the trac seems to be running smoothly with just a slightly higher idle which I had expected. Do I take...

I must have the wrong size extender. I thought Todd Z had cut one to fit. I will try to do that.

It took me and a friend to press the sides of the cage in to get it to align with the pins. It seems it should not take that much force to install this extender. It also was difficult to get it back out.

Todd Did you modify an extender to fit an ST? I purchased a used one that supposably came of an 03 St but it seems too wide (not too long) to fit the width of the bed. I think I could muscle it in but is that normal? What did you use to modify your cage? Can not find anything in the projects...

What is the width of the Gen1 oem bed extender? Got one used and it is a real tight fit side tio side. Does it take a lot of muscle to get installed or just slip in? Did a search and am aware of the different length problems with F-150 etc. Can't find anything on the width size.

Dingo, Thanks for your advice on lighting options. I did some research on Altec tailgate light bars and ran across this "Fireyes" option. Are you familar with this model? Link below.

I gave Rancho a call on this and was told they do not have the Quick Lift shocks for the sport trac. I specifically asked for an 04 ST application. Maybe they have one for the Gen 2's. Rancho phone number: 734 384 7804

Count me in on the purchase

o4ST Local shops in town give conflicting advice on sub box configuration. A 10 inch sub box under the passenger back seat firing up vs a box firing down and two 10's behind the back seat firing forward. Would think the latter through the back seats would give the best sub imaging in the ST's...

o4ST. Cruise control switch went out. The buttons do not light up on steering wheel right side. It still functions but when traveling at night is a pain. Dealer wants $189.00 parts and labor. The part is $74.00. Called our sponser at Wall's Ford and they can get the part for $52.00. I am...

Called Sears for the avail of the Sensatrac load adjusting shock. Big dollar. The tech tells me he used to work for Ford Motors and the oem shocks are the same as Monroe Sensatracs. In fact, "they are made by Monroe." I will probably go with the Refex in order to feel a difference. Sears...

Dan - Thanks for pointing that out. I thought it was the regular Sensatrac.
