Started a new post hoping for some quick help as my truck is still on ramps waiting to finish my tranny fluid/filter change. I discovered a hole in the dipstick tube, rusty out, and I would like to replace it before using it again. I cant find the part number for the dipstick, either OEM or...

As I start to do more and more work on my own vehicles I have been debating buying an air compressor and tools for a while. Yesterday while at Harbor Freight I finally gave in an bought an air compressor (21gal) at a very good price after speaking with another customer who said he had the same...

Been doing lots of maintenance to the ST now that I have once again decided to keep it another year, its been such a great vehicle. I want to do a pan drop, filter change. I am going to install a drain as suggested in the projects section. This may be a weird question but would it be safe to...

For Todd Z or any other Long Island folks. Is anyone familiar with the car dealership "Certified HQ" in St. James. We are looking for a new to us SUV and likely will have to travel to get what we are looking for and its a long drive from Maine to buy a vehicle sight unseen. Just curious if...

I finally got around to changing out the spark plus (big thanks to the members project section here). As I always do when I have the ST in the garage I did a look around underneath for any problems. I happen to look up and see a metal tube that went to no where under the steering rack. When I...

Monroe warrantied my shocks for me after some emailing back and forth. I had reflex shocks all around but they no longer make reflex for the front. The Monroe rep stated "you are right we no longer make reflex part number 911122 but we make one that is an exact replacement". They direct...

Ok got my supension stuff done (may still do rear sway bar end links at some point) now moving onto fluid changes, transfer case, tranny, front diff. Anyone have a suggestion for a good fluid pump for the front diff. If could have the shop do it for $50 but if I can buy a pump of the same or...

While installing a new bull bar I noted that there is a piece missing from under my front bumper. Not sure how long its been gone. I have been under it several times but never noticed before so probably over this past winter. Apparently it is called an air deflector, or lower valance. All...

Been searching through the post trying to narrow down part numbers and reccmmendations for upgrade for handling. I figured while I doing other stuff like the upper control arms and front end links I might as well consider some other stuff. I cant really afford new bars but looking for...

Looking for suggestions for DIY maintenance. It is my "turn" to get a new vehicle but I really like the Trac and it makes more sense to upgrade to a SUV for the growing family and replace my wife's car. So after some deliberation I'm going to keep my ST. It is a 2004 4x4 XLT with just...

Well I almost successfully made it through a brake job all by myself. I was feeling pretty good about my accomplishment until the drivers side parking brake shoes fell apart. I worked my way through the rotors and drum replacement thanks to the project and posts on here but now I'm at a loss...

Im thinking the price here might be a misprint but if not anyone in New England looking for an ST this would be one heck of a deal it seems. http://nh.craigslist.org/car/717703674.html

This past Friday I spent about half a day going around to several tire dealers in a nearby city to do a little comparison shopping. I went armed with some online price print outs and an idea of what I wanted for tires, I had 2 or 3 different ones in mind. Note these were tires for my wife's...

I think its finally time to get rid of the stock shocks like everyone suggests. I am still undecided between the Rancho RSX5000, RSX9000, or the Monroe Reflex, but anyway that is the typical question. Would take anyone opinion if you so chose but there are plenty of previous post I could read...

Just had Tru TV's Most Shocking Moments on and happened to look up at the right time to catch video of a Trac (along with several other vehicles, and buildings etc) being plowed into by an "amored bulldozer". While im sure videos of this have been around for a while I have not seen it posted on...

Anyone know what has happened to tracnblack. He used to post frequently but haven't seen him around in a long time, search shows last post in September. As a fellow public safety professional I was just wondering about him today while I was at an accident in the ST.

I have been seeing just a ton of ST's with out of state plates over the past month or so. I have carded at least a half dozen that I have come upon parked but seen far more. So far apparently no one that has checked in here. There has been too many different states to remember but several...

Well I finally decided to do the fog lights on with brights mod since the days are getting shorter and I do a lot of late driving on rural roads. I had a bad feeling about it since me and electrical stuff just dont mix but it looked so simply, yeah right. I followed the project in the project...

I just purchased a 2007 Honda Foreman last week and today I lost the only key that came with it. I think I may have left it on the bumper or tonneau cover after unhooking the trailer and then drove off. I have searched everywhere. Tomorrow I will call my closest dealer to see what they can do...

Due to an eBay mix up I received the wrong battery for my laptop I expressed my dissatisfaction with the seller and I was refunded my money and told not to bother to send the other battery back and to resell it if that would make me happy, I was also sold the correct battery for a discount (this...
