I'm looking to replace the DPFE sensor on my '01. The part has number 2FIE-9J460-AB on it but I keep seeing 4U7E-9J460-AA online. Are these numbers compatible? Is the second number an upgrade to the original? Thanks, George

Now that the wife and daughters cars are fixed I've started to pay attention to the Trac again. I have an '01 4x2 with 147k. While inspecting hoses I noticed two things. First, the cruise control cable is wearing through the insulation of a plug wire. That's an upcoming project. Second, when...

The upholstery on the slide cover for my '01 sunroof is beginning to separate. Is the slide cover a part of the headliner or part of the sunroof? Does it come out with the headliner? Or can it be removed after the headliner is removed? An local upholstery shop said they think it's part of...

I've got a question about tire performance on my '01 4x2. I'll try to make it short but it takes some explaining. Within the last year I replaced the upper and lower ball joints, front and rear shocks, bearings, rotors, brake pads and one spindle after I damaged the threads. All this was...

This past weekend I spent alot of time on the highway in my '01. Every now and then I'd hear something outside my window but couldn't see anything flapping in the wind. I think I've narrowed it down to the driver's door handle. It's got a lot of play and wiggle in it. Is this something that...

The '01 Ford Workshop Manual has a picture showing the spindle nut should be tightened to 2mn (17 lb/in) while rotating the brake disc and hub. I can't find where it says anything tighter than that. Am I reading this right? I just had a new outer bearing fail and was wondering if I didn't...

The top half of my grey '01 steering wheel looks like someone held on with a deathgrip and twisted their hands backwards and forwards. Now the sticky stuff from inside the steering wheel cover is coming out around the threads and leaves black stuff on your hands. (It took a while to figure out...

Does anyone know what size socket is needed for the hub spindle nut on an '01 4x2? The manual says the nut part number is 374504-S36. Somewhere I read that it takes a 36mm (probably indicated by the part number). (Sorry for the lazy sounding question, but I borrowed one before but don't...

The upper RH control arm is a two-piece. Moog offers a one-piece and a two-piece RH upper unit. I've read where the two-pice could be replaced with a one-piece unit. Is this common? Is it recommended to switch to the one-piece?

I've got a used pair of aftermarket step bars that I purchased from the original owner and then decided that I liked the original look better. I never tried to install them and I'm getting tired of stepping over them in the garage. Pics are in my library. Free of charge but you have to come...

The '01 Trac started squeaking when turning into the driveway and then I began to notice a sort or roaring sound from what I thought was the left front tire. Just had a garage take a look to see if my guess was correct. They said, upper control arms with ball joints, lower ball joints (causing...

At the risk of being laughed at but I'll ask anyway. I'm finally replacing the original shocks on my '01, at 127K, with Rancho Rs5000's. The rubber boot is kicking my butt. How does it install on the front shocks? Does it just cover the cylinder? Couldn't find pics so I had to ask.

The locking clip on the drivers side of my '01 bed extender broke. I need the drivers side brace/support section of the extender that does the pivoting. I'd prefer not to have to buy a complete extender. Hoping someone has a few extra parts laying around. Does anyone know if you can buy just...

A real basic question. I somehow lost the clip that holds the lock in the tonneau cover. Is this a common part that can be found at a hardware store or do I have to get it from Ford? Thanks

The front lock on my '01 tonneau cover is broken and will not lock. I've read the posts and see that it's a common problem. Does anyone know the part number for the part that breaks (it's the black cylinder that houses the two cables and is located at the bottom of the lock mechanism). I'd...

Trying to replace my 01 job 2 fuel filter. I recognized the first filter the parts store tried to give me was wrong because it only had an inlet and one outlet , no overflow. Had them look at the 02 parts and now I realize that I got the 'skinny' instead of the 'fat' filter (purolator f65472)...

Is there a secret to putting the hub grease cap back on? Put on new font rotors. Grease cap giving me a fit. thanks.

Any suggestions on how to get the top caliber anchor plate bolt loose? Doing the brakes on an 01 4x2. Getting stuck very early in the process. Gonna be a long day..... Thanks

'01 4x2 with 68K. Going to do the front rotors & pads myself this weekend. Haven't done this since I was 16. I've got the shop manual plus read every post and project on the topic. Couple of questions: 1. Is it absolutely necessary, or just common sense, to replace the inner & outer bearings...
