Anyone on here using the Untappd beer app? Its the #1 craft beer rating app. I've been on for 3+ yrs. Just looking to add a few new people.

Does anyone know if the rear pinion seal can be changed by just removing the drive shaft and the mounting flange? I did it this way on my 01 and I've seen videos on youtube of other pinion seals being changed this way. I'm just curious if this differential is different due to the independent...

So getting ready to do rear diff, front diff, transfer case, and Tranny oil changes. First the owners manual says the AWD transfer case takes Ford Transfer case fluid, I'm used to Ford transfer cases taking Mercon tranny fluid, what is everyone using? Second, how can I find out if...

So I noticed my drivers side rear strut is leaking oil, looks like I will be doing that job soon. Anyone done these yet? Have any tips?

So ever since I got my 08 STA I've been wanting to paint teh calipers red. I finally got to it this past week. Now I've painted plenty of calipers before and my go to method is VHT caliper spray in silver. I've liked this method because I can complete this job in a few hrs because the spray...

So looking around on Rockauto.com I see 2 different trans filters 5R55 or 6R60. What do I need? 2008 AWD V8. Also what is everyone using for a transmission pan drain I put one in my 2001 and it worked ok I always had to use teflon tape on the threads when ever I would do a drain. I think I...

Would these fit my 08? Looking a for a winter rim option

So the one thing I find disappointing in my 08 vs the 01 is the factory floor mats. I really liked the heavy berber and especially the 1 pc. back seat mat instead of the dinky 2 pcs factory mats. I've been doing some research and came across lloyd mats and they seem like a high quality...

So looking around at exhaust mods and was intrigued by your low cost option. Is there any drone at highway cruise speeds?

So just an update with my new STA. It should be in my driveway tomorrow, had a little delay in delivery due to trying to get a truck to pick it up. That got taken care of Friday. My old truck should be in its new owners hands on Wed. I had it sold in about 1 day. The guy knew a nice clean...

OK so my truck is definitely for sale, 2001 loaded Sporttrac 4.0L V6 4WD 161,XXX miles. I've owned it since 07. It has heated leather seats and a block heater (great for winter) I can provide you with the Excel spreadsheet showing everything I've ever done including just in the last year...

So there is a STA for sale at a Hamburg NY dealership that has me intrigued. Anyone up there willing to take a look at it for me?

Finally got around to this today. The front bolt was corroded, the other 2 showed absolutely no signs of corrosion what so ever. So I broke up the housing with pliers, sawzall, and a hammer/punch. This allowed me to get to the one bolt and unscrewed it with the hunk of the housing still...

So I see engine coolant on the garage floor today. I do a litle looking around and I see some coolant laying in the valley of the engine. I noticed some milky film under the oil fill cap when I changed the oil this weekend. Wondering if its intake gaskets, or worse. 2001 job ll 159,000 miles

The sport trac got a lot of love today: All 4 shocks- Rancho 5000 Motorcraft Plugs and Denso wires Rear diff fluid and new rear pumpkin cover (Axle seal attempt see other post) Front diff oil change This was the second time i've done all of these jobs on this truck, first time at...

So My Driver side axle seal is leaking and it was due for a new gear lube so I pulled it apart today. Watched a video about how to pull the axles out. So I removed the spider gear pin keeper bolt and it broke. And it was really weird how it broke, it didn't snap it felt like it loosened like...

So the passenger side rear shackle rusted thru and broke. I did the other side 2 winters ago. Should go quicker now that I have done 1 already. Thanks to a member here who sold me his used old factory shackles.

Got a guy interested in my cover and I can't weigh it right now, thought one the members already knows. 1st Gen. Thanks, Jeff

So I experimented with a dipstick heater with ok results during the recent POLAR VORTEX. Did some more research and ended up with a block heater. $25 from O'reilleys. This involves removing a freeze plug from the engine block and installing the heater in its place. Benefits: Warm coolant...
