Well, after 16 years and over 228K miles, I bid a sad farewell to my '02 Trac last night. She had served me very well over the years and lasted far longer than any other vehicle I ever owned. It was depressing to watch it drive away. I will still lurk here on this site as it has been my...

I need to replace the rubber pad (cover) on my brake pedal. It is worn so much you can see shiny metal from the underlying bracket. Does anyone have access to a parts catalog to look op the part number for me? It is for a '02 Trac 4x2 with automatic. I would certainly appreciate it.

If both upper and lower housing components were going to be replaced along with a new thermostat, how much dis-assembly of other engine components are required? This is for the standard job 2 V6. My mechanic noticed there was seepage coming from the housing and recommended replacing it. He...

I have been experiencing some strange engine performance problems lately. The engine wants to stumble when I try to accelerate moderately using just a small increase of the throttle. This may occur either from a stop, or when just trying to increase my speed while under way. I can't seem to...

LaRue, I saw this in front of me today and thought of you. The funny thing is that only the rear had any graphics on it. The sides (and front) were plain white. [Broken External Image]:

On the way home from dinner this evening, my trusty '02 Trac passed the 200K milestone. I didn't have my phone with me so I couldn't pull over to snap a picture of it. It is sitting in the garage right now sitting at 200006 :banana::banana:

Anyone here have any info, experience, thoughts about these Brake Drag Reduction Clips I recently heard about? The idea seems like it might be a good one but my worry would be that the clips could cause the pads to retract enough to have an adverse effect on brake response and maybe even...

Do any of you folks out there know of a good Ford Escape forum (like this forum) that specializes on the Ford Escape? My daughter-in-law brought my son's Escape over to so I could pull the code for a Check Engine Light (CEL) that had shown up. The light was not currently on so there had...

This is a link to before and after Aerial photos of areas of Japan showing the devastation. Drag the slide left and right to compare the differences. Very striking and also mind numbing. Just horrible destruction...

Anybody happen to know the part number of the locking Clips for the Bed Extender? One broke today so I am going to have to replace it. Probably do both while I am at it. It is for a Gen1 ('02) Thanks.

On TV this evening I watched an episode of 'Holmes On Homes'. Near the end of the episode, Mike gave his son a birthday present. After first giving a gag gift, he gave the son the real gift when up drove a Sport Trac Adrenalin. Did anyone else see that?

I was sent this link and thought I would share.

while resolving my problem with the steering column wiring, I noticed that it looks like the hook that holds the wire in connector is part of the plastic connector, rather than a barb on wire slip connector. Several of the hooks looked to be broken or missing. I wanted to buy just the plastic...

This evening the blinker started flashing fast for a right turn. Before getting out to see which bulb was out, I thought 'Wait a minute. maybe it is the infamous connector at the steering wheel'. So, I moved the tilt wheel and sure enough, the rapid flash would come and go as I moved the...

While at Costco yesterday, I saw a ODBII code reader reader for under $20. I saw it at the Salinas, CA store and also at the Sand City, CA. store. This unit claimed to also have the ability to erase the codes as well. I didn't buy one as I use my ScanGauge2 for that, but if I didn't have...

The bride and I are heading up to Pebble Beach today. We are going to spend 9 day doing not much except enjoy ourselves in the forest. I am sure she will find some ways for me to spen some money too. She usually does. lol :banana:

Just what we invalids have been wanting. :smile0007:

The trac is at the dealer right now. Drove up to Pebble Beach on Wednesday and as I approached Salinas I seemed to feel a slight tug to the left whenever I hit any small bump on the highway. When I stopped for fuel in Salinas, I looked at the front wheels but didn't see anything obvious. After I...

Well, My '02 with 157k miles started throwing out some CEL's with code P0171 recently (for about a week now). Today, I finally had the chance to look under the hood and sure enough my elbow has a crack.:angry: :angry: Why is it that the darn crack is ALWAYS on the bottom and you don't know for...

Hi Kevin, When you get a chance, could you look to see if there might be a fog light housing assembly for a 1998 Pontiac Grand Pix in a lot near zip 92835? No emergency. Whenever you can. Thanks, I appreciate it. :) :) Uncle_Bob Bob McDonald
