Sadly, I had to say goodbye to my beloved '03 Sport Trac about a month back. Going through the garage, I discovered a couple leftovers. Make me a fair offer if interested. Shipping's on you unless willing to meet around the Durham, NC or Greensboro, NC areas. See my posting on...

So getting ready to take my 03 ST to be inspected, when the CE light pops on. Code that comes up is C1145 "Right Front Speed Sensor" Anyone have some solid info to help me out? Never messed with a speed sensor before. Thanks. --Mario

Despite having driven it with no problems only a few hours earlier, my Trac refused to start up when I needed to head out for work. There were signs of power (lights, power locks, other accessories functioning) but when I turned the key, there was absolutely no reaction. Starter didn't even...

My Trac just rolled 200k a couple weeks ago. Talking with my dad last night about preventative maintenance, he suggested I look into changing the timing chain. Has anyone done this before, chiefly as preventative? What are some signs that the chain needs to be replaced? I feel like...

This is a little belated, but about a month ago, my Trac turned the 200,000 mark. She's been a great truck for me and still runs pretty well. Thanks to everyone that contributes here, and thus has helped keep me and mine on the road for so many miles. Keep it up!

I'm getting A LOT of creaking from my front end right now, both when I turn the wheels and as I'm driving down the road. A while back, when I was getting some other work done, a shop recommended I replace both upper and lower control arms. A mechanic friend of mine looked at them and said only...

So I tried to engage the 4wd the other day, but no dice. I could hear a clicking when I turned the switch, but the indicator light never came on and a tight turn confirmed that I was still in 2wd. From what I've seen in some of the previous messages on the board, I don't think it's the module...

Got my new camber bolts in, alignment done & new tires on my Trac. Now its time to start thinking about the brakes. There's some grooving on the rotors & the pads are in their last third, so I'm not in a big hurry. I'll be getting a new set of Wagner ThermoQuiet pads, since my current set...

Okay, so here's what's been bouncing around in my head. Needing tires, and needing an alignment before getting the tires...and needing to install camber bolt kits before the alignment. Question #1: How many camber bolt kits do I need? Are they only for the front end, or do they go on...

So I'm trying to upgrade my stock rear shocks, and have run into a snag. Using the project on this site, I pulled the spare tire off, but just can't access the top side of the driver's side rear shock. There's some sort of box that's blocking the only way I can get to one of the nuts. I'm not...

Okay, I'll just go ahead and fess up to being a bit of a noob to some aspects of tinkering around on my Trac. I can usually find my way around, but am a little hesitant when it comes to parts of the vehicle I've had little experience with. I just bought new Rancho shocks to go on my 03 XLT...

I know this is a Sport Trac site, but was hoping someone might have a suggestion or two. My mom is a rural postal carrier in Texas. She drives about 100 miles a day, on pavement & dirt roads, taking mail to all the farmers & ranchers that live out in the sticks. In good weather, she uses a...

After reading all of the traffic on replacing the stock shocks, I'm strongly considering putting in some Rancho RSX shocks. I hadn't thought a lot about the ride lately, but then I drive a transit bus for a living, so just about anything's better than the bus. The question I have is: When...

I went to a shop today to have my annual state inspection done on my ST. A few minutes in, a guy came & told me the computer had too many "not ready" codes showing up to complete inspection. He said this can be caused by disconnecting the battery, a dead battery or even jumping another vehicle...
