How difficult is it to get to the rear plugs? I’m ready to change.

Well, I guess all good things must come to an end. I was driving on I-94 yesterday in the middle lane, about 70 mph. It had not started snowing hard yet in Waukesha County, and the roads were just wet at 37 degrees. Next thing you know, I am sideways and hitting the concrete median wall head...

2002 Sport Track. Rear drum appears to be stuck to the brake shoes and will not come off. I can feel the springs as I pull out on the drum. It's not being held up by rust between the drum and hub. How do I get this thing off??

2002 Sport Trac, 225K. Recently, I noticed a "click" from the front left when braking. Upon inspection, the only thing I could find is that the brake rotor will pivot on the wheel studs, like the holes in the rotor are too big? I have 25K on this set of rotors (Bosch). Lug nuts are all...

I have 220K on my 2002 Sport Trac. I am very consistent with oil changes and tire rotations, every 3-5K depending if I use regular or synthetic oil. Usually buy whatever is the best value with a rebate. Tensioners have been replaced. My question: I bought some Mobil 1 with an attractive...

Getting super frustrated as it seems every time I need my 4x4 it is not working. Currently on my 3rd transfer case motor and 2nd control module (Motorcraft). 2002 Sport Trac, 225K. Any thoughts why this keeps going out? I do "exercise" the system periodically. When it was not working about...

Anybody have an OBD2 Scan Tool that you prefer for home use with Fords? Besides our '02 Sport Trac, we have a 2016 Edge Sport and a 2023 Bronco Sport.

After a recent 200 mile trip, I noticed a burning grease smell coming from the left front of my 2002. After checking things out, I located a ripped axle shaft boot that was ripped and slinging grease all over. After I replace the shaft, do I need an alignment?

This is the 3rd set of tires (including original Wranglers) that have exhibited the exact same tire wear. I have replaced upper/lower ball joints, inner/outer tie rods, hubs, shocks, and several alignments. Religiously rotate tires every oil change. Two questions - 1. Why the same wear all...

Planning a drain and fill of my antifreeze. Any thoughts on disposing of the old coolant?

Hello All - Thank you for all of your expert help. What a month I've had with my 2002 Sport Trac with 208K miles. 1. Lingering coolant leak got worse - Ended up being lower thermostat housing. Had to cut it apart to get it out. 2. Water pump began leaking 2 days later. I had replaced...

How much rear end "whine" is normal/acceptable for a 200+K mile 2002 Sport Trac? Beginning to notice a whining that is tied to speed. Most prominent when accelerating from 25-40mph, and coasting from 30mph to a stop.

2002 Sport Trac. Suddenly, no 4x4 and no click when trying to engage. Cleaned all the contacts, added a little dielectric grease and replaced control module with Motorcraft. Didn't solve the problem. Transfer case motor replaced last spring. Now what?

'02 Sport Trac, 206K. No visible leaks. Smell coolant outside of truck after driving. Reservoir goes down about 20% every 10 days or so. Grrrrrrr. Help!

I think I have a small leak on the driver's side of the radiator. Any tips before I replace? Looks fairly straightforward. I prefer to use the Motorcraft replacement parts, but not readily available. What brand do you recommend? I see several on Rock Auto, and there is also a choice between...

2002 Sport Trac. Has developed a whine when reviving the engine. Could be described as a roar. Engine noise. Changes with rpm. Have replaced water pump, thermostat, alternator, and belt. Temp in normal range. Power steering fluid full. ?????

Recently replaced belt, water pump, thermostat, and purge sensor. Have a persistent squeak that changes with RPM. At first I thought it was possible from spilled coolant, but it has been over a week. Any idea what that could be?
