Hi All, Its been a while since my last post but I still have the old girl (01 4x4, 235k) and I have a mysterious smoking going on in the engine compartment. It appears to be coming from the driver's side, low near the firewall. It is not burnt oil but a plastic type smell. Very toxic but I know...

Hi everyone! The old trusty trac won't start. I moved it last night so that I could wash it, when I went out this morning it wouldn't start. Clicking at the key. Seems to have power. I pulled the battery and had Local auto parts store check it and it tested at 94%. I put it back in and it still...

Hi all! I am an ST owner of 15 years but recently bought an Explorer. The dealership did a crappie job of detailing it and it is driving me crazy! I've experimented with different brushes but can't get the Wax off of the plastic cladding. Is there a product that will get it off or a specific...

Hi All! Wondering if anyone can help me with a oasis report for this vehicle? 1FM5K8D88EGC46321 The dealer is reluctant to give me any service history and the "autocheck" report doesn't show anything. Can you help a girl out? It would be much appreciated!

Hi All! You have always been such a good group for input that I am coming to you with this question. I am looking at trading my trac in on a 15 Explorer Limited with only 8k miles. It has a clean carfax report. When I drove it, I noticed that the steering wheel is off center. I didn't matter...

Hi All! I've been on this site for years. I have a 2001 ST with 224,000 miles and I am having a hard time giving her up but she is starting to fail me. I have located an 08 V8 AWD Adrenalin with only 12,000 miles. Wondering if you could all comment on any known issues? Also, the vin is...

Hi everyone! I found a sport trac for sale and they are saying it is rear wheel drive. I find it odd given its location. I have the vin# 1FMEU33E68UB26575 can anyone tell from the vin if that is truest the case? Anyone know how many 08's were produced in 2wd? Thanks

Looking to purchase a 2007 ST but noticed the right side of the steering wheel doesn't have the controls like on the left side that it has for the cruise. Is there supposed to be something on the right (it looks blanked off) or isn't there?? Any thoughts? Thanks!!

Ok pretty sure my tranny fluid is low. It is leaking at the radiator and yesterday it slipped on me. My problem: I can't read the dipstick! Feel free to laugh! Should I be seeing a definite/obvious line of fluid? Does anybody have a picture? I see fluid on the stick but it seems to be all over...

01 trac 4x4, never owned a car with more than 100k!: got a pic but can't figure how to post it.....

Need to change tranny fluid! Should I install new filter and just drain fluid out or have it "power flushed"? Trac has 200k. It was changed early in its life but not since. Thoughts?

Anybody know why there is such a cost difference in wheel bearings? I looked them up on Rockauto and they vary but are around 20 bucks and I call the local parts house and they want $150. If my wheel bearing is shot, do I have to replace the whole hub assembly or can I just replace the bearing...

Wondering if anyone has a picture of the shifter bolts under the dash? My trac is having difficulty shifting from gear to gear. Thought I might crawl under and take a look and try to tighten them myself, assuming thats the issue? Just like to know what im looking for, thanks!

01 st, are the front seats interchangeable?

I have an 01 ST with 187k. I got the oil changed yesterday (which I do every 3k) and found out the ball joints are shot, they of course are chewing up my tires, the oil pan is leaking, the valve cover is leaking, the front axle is leaking, the rear shocks are shot, the body bushing are creeking...

Hi All, I still have my old 01 ST with 187k but she's starting to give troubles. Today, the driver's side rear wndow decided it wanted to not go up any further than about halfway. It was moving very slowly until it just stopped. Nothing at the switch at that point, almost like its designed to...

Hi Everyone, time to let the old girl go.... 4x4 loaded with every option including leather and a roof, 184, 000 miles. Maintained well, 3000 mile oil changes etc. Silver with the gray interior. Its been a very good truck for me. I bought it when it was a year old at 22k. It does have the...

Hi all, wondering if anyone can comment on whether or not a power rear window can easily be put into an 07 st that doesnt have it currently? Anyideas ln cost to put it in? Thanks!

Ok so I have an 01 ST with 183, 000 plus miles. Its been a good truck and has served me well. Its recently begun to nickel and dime me (more like $5 and $10 me). It fits every need I have from hauling the dog to my winter transportation. I have located a 2005 exactly like what I have but it only...
