    Carlisle Ford Nationals

    The Ford Nationals in Carlisle, PA will be June 4-6 this year. We register in the Explorer class. There is a 10% discount off the $65 fee if you register early. Plenty of hotels but they can be pricey, I camp in the Fairgrounds campground for $55 for the weekend. It's a good time.

    Upper Ball Joint

    Upper ball joints seem to be short-lived with the Truxxx lift. I buggered the passenger side trying to check it with a pry bar like my mechanic showed me and tore the boot. Just had new Moog Problem Solver UCA's put on for state inspection 6 months ago. Ordered one Moog Problem Solver ball...

    Valve Cover Gaskets

    2008 4.0 SOHC Sport Trac. Driver's side valve cover gasket is leaking. It looks like I have to take off the top of the intake manifold to get to it, which at my skill level I think I can do. I have not had to change valve cover gaskets in decades. Do I need to use gasket sealant or do they just...

    Banging Under Dash

    Seen this problem before but I forget the name of the part. 2008 Trac with regular A/C not electronic climate control. When I change the temperature more than a little bit I get a banging noise behind the dash. Not a problem all summer but coming into the time of year when I need to change it...

    Gen 2 Rear Axle Lube Change

    Changed the lube in the rear axle today. Gen 2's have a drain plug in the diff cover so they're easy. Best to remove the spare tire first so you can snake the fill hose through a hole in the crossmember. 3/8'' ratchet with no extension for the fill and drain plugs. In the last pic you...

    2008 Fog Lights Quit

    Have a 2008 Sport Trac. Yesterday the fog lights suddenly quit working. The 15 amp fuse in the underhood fuse box is not blown. There is also a fog lamp relay in the fuse box. Could that be the problem and is there a way to tell?

    Steering Rack

    When I had the Trac inspected 6 months ago, along with a litany of expensive things to fix or replace since it has almost 200k on it, my mechanic said that my steering rack was shot. Felt fine to me and didn't keep it from passing inspection. Now I seem to feel some shake when I'm on a bumpy...

    Gen 2 Rear Driveshaft Install

    You need an 8mm deep wall and/or an extension for the front, 15mm deep wall for the carrier bearing nuts, and a 12mm 12 point for the rear axle. I also bought a 23" breaker bar, 3/8'', which came in handy. There was a lot of back and forth putting the Trac in Park or Neutral. I started with the...

    Gen 2 Fuel Filter Change

    Time to change the fuel filter today, the manual says every 30k, so I shot video. Gen 2 is different than a Gen 1 and much easier, you do not need the special tool. The red clip on the inlet line is a little tricky which is why I shot the video. Apparently my phone cannot edit them together...

    EGR Replacement

    I am continually getting a code P401 EGR malfunction. Does this mean I need a new EGR valve? It is hard to change? Looked on YouTube and it seems like it's not too bad but you have to take the throttle body off to get to it. Thanks.

    The Definitive Transfer Case Lube Thread

    I posted a Member Project years ago on changing the transfer case lube, so for how-to's look there. My '08 Trac will hit 150k this week and I've changed the t-case lube every 30k since new. Also previously on a Ranger and another Trac that I didn't keep as long. Here is what I've learned. If...

    Gen 2 Tires And Lift

    Got the Truxxx strut spacer lift last year. Stock size tires are wearing out so it's time to get bigger ones. Truxxx says it will fit 32's so I was wondering if anyone has used that lift with 265/70-16's and how it worked out. Pics?

    Starting Issue

    For the past few months, and it's getting worse, the Trac seems to crank a lot longer when starting it than used to be normal. Battery is less than two years old, plugs and wires both replaced only 20k ago, fuel filter has about 17k on it. Truck is an '08 I got new and has 137k. Do we think...
