Thanks RedRanger. That's my plan for now, avoiding areas that may require using reverse. When yours went out, what did it end up being?

Hi Everybody, Unfortunately, I lost reverse today when getting to work. Like other posts I've read, nothing made me think something was wrong until I got to work and always back the ST in. Pulled up next to the spot, put it in reverse, thought I heard a "clunk" and then nothing, engine...

Thanks swshawaii, I saw this video earlier when trying to troubleshoot it. Unfortunately, this method doesn't help. The lateral motion still doesn't release the latch. But with the door closed, and what appears to be one of the springs in the latch broken, I can't get it open...

Hi All, I have a really annoying problem. Last night I got home from work and my door would not open from the inside. So, I rolled down the window and tried to open from the outside.... wouldn't work. No matter what I try, I cannot get the door open. I believe it is the latch itself...

Good luck to you Todd. Congrats on the new F150.

Congrats!!! It's beautiful. Cool blue one in the background too.

Nice Job gypsy~me~.

Thanks Todd. I will check these out. Parking brake works well. Looks like it's gonna get a lot more use now. Much appreciated. Tommy

2001, Automatic Transmission, about 236,000 miles (all original) Once or twice in the past few weeks, I have gotten home to my driveway where I back in. I put it in park and as I let off the brake it catches gear but then seems to skip a bit and lurch forward. (My driveway is a very...

Thanks for the responses guys. I did check the level and it was low. I filled it with dot 3, and when I started it, the light was off. I still want to check it out. I suspect that I need to replace the pads as opposed to there being a leak somewhere. I have a 2001, and yep, drum brakes on...

Thanks for the responses guys. I will definitely check the fluid levels, and the pads. I checked the fluid roughly a month or so ago. I try to check all the fluids when changing the oil. (or anytime I am under the hood) Just out of curiosity, when depressing the parking brake, which brakes...

Hi All, Well, I am finally getting to the long list of things to do on the Sport Trac. Today was the water pump and fan clutch. So far things are ok, drove it around the block and no overheating problems. Haven't seen any leaks yet either. (all the wet stuff looks like it was from the...

Thanks swshawaii!

Hey All, I needed gas this morning before going into work. I got a little worried when the key spun further than it should have and the cap would not come off. I fiddled with it a little and then got it to come off. So, I figure after 14 years, and 225,000 miles, I got my money's worth...

2001 and I'm at 227,000. Great to see all these Tracs with such high mileage.

Hey Guys, Recently, I posted about the overhead console. Thanks to all who responded. It helped me get a good idea what I was in for. (I'll try to make this quick) So, my plan was to try the junk yards, then Ebay, and then elsewhere. After calling around, I did find a yard that had a...

Thanks for the tips guys. Previously, after a bit of research, I did try pushing the "Mode" button a bunch of times, but it didn't work. However, I did just return from the junkyard with a new one, and it only cost me $20. Tommy P.S. Love this site!

Thanks Yardsale. I do actually have power to the overhead console. I checked the bulbs before removing it, but I think the display panel is shot. (burn marks on the left side). I can solder in a new one, but it would be very sloppy work as I have not perfected my soldering skills yet. I...

Well, my compass and temperature gauge went out the other day. Not sure when, just noticed it was off. Earlier, I checked all the fuses, those are good. So, my thoughts then turned to the console itself. So, I removed it and noticed that the panel seems to have popped. I added a picture for...
