    Weirdest thing. Instrument cluster and stereo

    You can test your alternator by starting the truck and then disconnect the negative side of the battery. If the truck stays running alternator should be good, if it dies than you got an alternator issue.

    Strange pulsing whine in speakers caused by bluetooth

    Yeah it must be the JVC then. I have never had any issues with Pioneer but the last time a bought one was 5-6 years ago. At least Crutchfield is taking care of you.

    Strange pulsing whine in speakers caused by bluetooth

    I would assume this noise only became a problem after the new radio install correct? How clean are your battery terminals? I have seen noise introduced into a car audio system from bad grounds not just the radio ground. If you live in the rust belt this can be an issue as well. How old is...

    Looking for your opinion

    I got soft topper from softopper.com out of Boulder CO back in 2015. I like the soft topper a lot, it is super handy. Their website no longer lists the ST but they could probably still make it for ya. I have not seen another Trac with one but I have had a few Tacoma guys ask about it.

    Looking for your opinion

    Here’s another more pricey option ~$550ish Amerihood Before I purchased the hood I saw a few pics on a couple of Tracs and wasn’t sure I liked it but I went ahead and ordered anyways. I do like it now that I have it, maybe a little more aggressive than I wanted but as you know we don’t have...

    Headlights switch without auto lights

    I own two 2004 sport tracs one is a XLT and one XLS. The XLS is just the basic headlight switch, no auto and XLT has the auto function. Although neither of mine came equipped with stock fog lights, I believe the stock fog light switch is in the radio bezel and it’s just a push button on/off...

    Sony aftermarket touch screen radio

    I’m not sure on the 2nd gens I have 1st gen ST’s. The factory sub will definitely have an amp that powers it but the door speakers are likely powered by the radio head unit itself. Usually upgraded factory stereos (like Bose, etc) will have a factory amp that powers the door speakers as well...

    Sony aftermarket touch screen radio

    2v vs 4v is referring to the rca signal coming out of the head unit. This is only relevant if you are using separate amplifiers for door speakers/subs. 4v is a cleaner signal but most people would not be able to tell a difference between 2v and 4v. Additionally if you are only going to have a...

    Sony aftermarket touch screen radio

    I agree with Todd you will need to run a video wire from the camera to your Sony head unit. Bluetooth is just for your phone. They do make wireless cameras that connect to a separate screen but I’m not aware of any aftermarket radio head units that use a wireless backup cam.

    Front Suspension parts identification / serious problem leaning = '04 SportTrac 175K mi.

    Agreed the ‘explorer lean’ tends to happen over time as many other have said because the gas tank and you (the driver) is on that side. New leaf springs would fix it or you can try to swap the driver/passenger leafs you already have. Bushings in your existing leaf spring eyelets my also be...

    Off road front bumper lights

    It looks like RCI still makes a skid plate that fits first gen ST. It’s pretty beefy and 3/16” makes it heavy. I have it on a 2004 Sport Trac, the tow hooks in the pic are stock in the stock location. I haven’t hit anything with it but I wouldn’t be afraid to.
