It's coming from the passenger-side chain, which looked fine when I changed the valve covers not too long ago. It was still intact, with no wobble. I've ordered some new chain tensioners to see if that corrects the problem; I'll switch them out this weekend. Hopefully, that corrects the...

I'll add a picture, but it's nothing special; it's a stock 2004 oxford white XLT, right down to the radio; I've modified nothing. I've owned it since new; its build date is January of '04. I don't know what to say, except it has been a dependable truck. Well, except for the instrument...

I should have posted this thread here. It's an electrical problem. https://sporttrac.org/threads/truck-goes-crazy-when-key-is-out-of-the-ignition-instrument-cluster-goes-on-and-off-beeps-but-i-dont-think-its-the-actual-instrument-cluster.122932/ After reading through that thread, any ideas...

I'm talking about the thin plastic gasket in the picture below. When I removed my old switch, it did not have one. SO, I left it off. What is it, what's its purpose, and should I have installed it? https://sporttrac.org/attachments/ignition-switch-jpg.1819/ Solved: When I pulled apart the...

I noticed that all along the copper wires from the battery, no matter how much insulation is removed, there is green corrosion. Could this be a problem?

I'm looking for the wisdom of others. 2004 ST 4x2, has 250k miles on it, including original timing chain cassettes. Currently showing no problems, except weeping oil out of the top valve covers, and at least the lower oil ban gasket and potentially the upper oil ban gasket (I can't tell if...

There really is a point, where you probably need to just keep it I guess. Do buyers consider the condition of the vehicle or are CarFax's price really the top dollar. $3200 It does have high mileage I suppose. But I've changed the oil regularly, it has basically a new suspension on it, all...

HI! I have a 2004 ST that I've owned since new. It has been used by one son and is now back with me. We've had good luck with this truck. Other than normal wear issues it's been pretty trouble-free over the last 250k miles. I'm not one to defer maintenance issues and a bit of a fanatic...
