Does anybody else have to run premium gas so that their engine won't ping? I noticed the other day after filling up with regular (87 octane) that my engine was pinging pretty noticeably when accelerating. I'm not meaning racing type accelerating either but just with the cruise on at 70 mph. I...

How much fluid does the rear differential hold? I have axle code 42 which I believe is the non-limited slip if that matters. What fluid do you guys recommend? I have 175,000 on my vehicle so I figure it's time to change it. Thanks. So, I got the search to work for me. Looks like it...

Are there any hitches out there for an '04 Trac that will support more than a 500lb tongue weight? I know with a weight distributing hitch most will support 600lb but is that it? I've got a 1998 Dutchmen 24' camper that I want to pull and the only info I can find online shows it's tongue...

I just bought a camper that I want to tow with my 2004 Sport Trac. It has trailer brakes on it. What exactly do I need to get my truck to work with that? Is my truck already wired to hook something up or do I have to do special wiring? Any help or info would be appreciated.

I've got a 2004 Sport Trac 4x4 that started making a bad grinding noise at the driver side front wheel last night. I just jacked it up and the wheel has a ton of movement with very little pressure. It also is rough to spin by hand. I'm surprised the wheel didn't fall off while I was driving...

Does anybody know the bumper hitch ball shank size on a 2004 Sport Trac? I need to get a 2" ball to borrow a friend's utility trailer but not sure what diameter and length of shank to get. Any help would be appreciated.

I need some help. I have a 2004 Trac 4x4 that isn't producing heat as warm as it normally has in the past. The engine temp gauge reads normal. When I turn the temperature knob to cold, it blows cold air and when I turn it to hot, it blows barely warm air. I replaced the thermostat last night...

What kind of rotors do you guys use for the front? I see them on Rock Auto from $20 each all the way up to $100 each. I don't need anything fancy but don't want cheap ones if they will warp on me or not work properly. How do I tell which ones are good quality and which ones are cheap? Or...

Changing the drivers side rear shock is a nightmare. This is such poor engineering on Ford's part. Some people say to drove the breather canister or whatever that is there but that's not really a possibility. I tried it and it doesn't drop. I removed the five bolts that hold that whole...

How does the hose that comes from the valve cover to the air intake hose connect to the air intake hose? Is there supposed to be a clamp? Is it supposed to fit tight? Mine is just really loose, and I'm sure air can be sucked in around it which isn't a good thing. See the yellow arrow in the...

As I was under my vehicle yesterday changing the transmission fluid and filter, I noticed two hoses running down the passenger side of the frame. They are connected to the heater hoses from under the hood. The connection to the heater hoses looks professional like it's from the factory. They...

I have a 2004 Sport Trac 4x4 XLT. One day about 2 years ago, both unlock buttons on the doors quit unlocking the doors (on the same day at the same time). The lock part of the buttons work just fine. The only way I have to unlock my doors now is with the key remote. If I have back seat...

I have a 2004 Sport Trac 4x4 and I need to get an alignment before I get new tires since the fronts are wearing out pretty bad on the inside. I got the preferred specs from Hal S and the explanation that a kit isn't needed. The shop can just remove the stock washers and replace with a regular...

I have a 2004 Sport Trac 4x4 with automatic tranny. When I look for a transmission filter and gasket, it always wants to know if I have a 4 speed or 5 speed and what type of pan I have (deep or shallow). I don't know the answers to those questions. How can I figure out which filter and gasket...

I need some help please. I have a 2004 Sport Trac 4x4 with 125,000 miles. I have about 30,000 miles on my tires. Within the last few thousand miles, I noticed a bounce in one of my tires on the front. I've not had the tires rotated or balanced since I bought them. I know that I messed up. So...
