Everywhere I read I see 100Lbs max load for the cargo carriers. I bought a used Sears XCargo rooftop cargo carrier which I intend to carry clothing in for my move. I have aluminum square after market cross bars on the truck as well, After loading the box i weighed it at 175 Lbs. Since I have...

How much weight can my 2002 tailgate hold? Here is my scenario. I need to transport an 850 lbs Winchester gun safe in the bed. I know the bed can handle it. My question is because to load the safe, I have to tip it towards the tailgate then lift the bottom with a jack (pivoting on the...

I wanted to drop this question here even though I think I know the answer. I was driving home today and as I made a turn my lights dimmed the battery indicator came on & my scan gauge showed 11 volts from 13.9. My knee jerk reaction is Alternator died. The only reason I am bringing it up...

My 2002 4wd Trac needs new front brakes & rotors. (I am currently replacing the same stuff on my Hyundai & the rotors are seized to the hub) While looking online I keep reading that this is a common problem with the Expeditions & F150 trucks, so before I tear into my Trac I need to ask.... Are...

I've tried it all, from Mother's back to black to Armorall - NOTHING EVER WORKED. I finally found somthing that did it It's that As Seen On TV stuff Detail Doctor. I bought it at Walmart & it ACTUALLY WORKS. BTW I followed the directions for fixing headlights fog for my son's Elantra, &...

I just found that my brake pades are at 3/32" so I have to do brakes. My 2002 rotors I understand are composite. Is it essential that I replace them with composite or can I use steel? Also I have researched various rotors & I see different ones that say "Stage 3 or 4 or 5" What does the...

So I got stranded in the trac today. It appears the charging system is putting out only 13.1 volts or less. I assume the requlator is built into the alternator right? Does anyone know what the normal alternator output s/b? I checked my hyundai & was getting 13.8 volts. Other...

Last summer I realize my ST has no A/C & the compressor wasn't kicking on. Since I don't use her that much I shrugged it off. Yesterday I bypassed the low switch, the compressor kicked on so I figured I either had a leak or a bad low pressure switch. I found that the HHO system I removed...

I had the PCV valve along with the infamous cracked elbow on my 2002 trac replaced last year. This summer I found that my Air conditioner compressor will not engage. Is there any relationship between those 2 systems? Is is possible that they left something disconnected? I ask because on my...

Can someone look at their 1st Gen Trac & tell me if you have 50A in you engine compartment fusebox? ( it looks like a relay towards the firewall next to the fender) My A/C compressor isn't kicking on (it did last summer), so I looked in the owners manual and I show 2 "fuses" that correspond...

Today I took the Trac out for a ride to the UPS store. When I pulled out of the parking lot on my way home I realized the truck felt weird. In drive, if I accelerate she bogs down. In park I try to rev it and it won't go parst 2500 rpm. It also has a strange smell to the exhaust. She is not...

Thought I'd share this. I have been looking for some way to repair my messed up seat or to find reasonable, good looking seat covers. I found them at exactseatcovers. My original driver's leather seat cracked, the split at a stress point. [Broken External Image]: I have also...

I may have a faulty PCM in my 2002 4x4 Trac. The numbers on my PCM are 2L@A- 12A650-AC. What other PCM would work? (explorer, mountaineer, other) I figure I could find a cheap one to swap & test. I did find on for a 2000 Explorer 4x4 with the number F87F 12B523 BA would this work...

This morning, went to start the truck to go to Walmart. She cranked and did not start (as usual) I turned the key and cranked it again and she sneezed and didn't turn over. I thought nothing of it since this is common for this truck ( I know fuel pump) So... I crank her up and she is...

Well the time has come for me to correct the error in judgment I had last July. Against multiple warnings I changed the OEM plugs in my 2002 Trac to Bosch Platinum Ir plugs ( huge mistake) When I changed them I chucked the OEM plugs so I have no idea if they were Motorcraft or Autolite. I...

I found a good source on EBay for replacement skins for the console. I won't post the vendor but anyone wanting it just send me an email. I bought it for $10 ($15.69 shipped) The material is an exact match to the original. [Broken External Image]: The only problem I encountered...

It happened...my leather seat split open and as you can see, foam. Does anyone have any repair suggestion, or a good source for re-upholstery kit that won't cost me an arm & a leg? Is the Explorer/Mountaineer seat the same? Unfortunately my 2002 interior color is Prairie tan, If...

I just installed my class 3 hitch on my 2002 Trac. The question I have is for general towing ( A small trailer, my 74 Beetle etc) would I need any amount of drop for the ball mount? On my old Dakota I had a 7" drop because of the lift kit on the truck. My Trac is a bone stock 4x4. So... would...

After moving here from up north, I have come to the determination that Virginian's Can't Drive worth a damn! I have been told it's because we have people here from all over the country, or that it's kids...but in reality it's not. It's just that they have replaced southern hospitality with...
