Hello All! My name is Jake and i'm a new owner of a 2001 Sport Trac! I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi!
A little about myself,... I'm 23 years old and I live in the Milwaukee Area. I work full time as an Electrical Engineer Intern, while I go to school part time. (Electrical Engineering as my major) I'm not at all a mechanic, I've got some decent common sense but I'd like to apologize in advance for any dumb/stupid questions I might ask! I've got a wide range of hobbies! From all types of hunting and fishing to triathlons and weight lifting to computer gaming and electronics!
I just bought and picked up my "new to me" truck last night. Its a 2001, with 107k miles and in really good shape! I bought the truck mainly because my dad has a 2002 Ford Explorer and he has about 270k miles on it with out any major issues! I'm assuming this truck has the same Engine/Transmission since he also has the 4.0 v6, but I don't know for sure!
I've been searching and looking around the website for about a week now and found some awesome information so thank you! Tonight i'll be using one of the "projects" I found on here to figure out my Key-less Entry code. And next on my list is to replace the Cruise Control switches. First thing I tried when I got on the highway and they didn't work But after looking on the website it seems like its a common issue and you guys have some great DIY information!
Next is the tail lights had some holes in them and were kind of broken, so instead of replacing them with an OEM set, I've been looking for a set of black or black tinted ones. Any recommendations? I saw a set in a video on YouTube at 0:32 secs in (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4InJJfydo4) "Says it's Todd's 2003 Sport Trac, Video credit goes to Greg Smith" Hoping these gentlemen are still around and can maybe help me find a link to these taillights! Or if anyone can identify them from the video that would be awesome too!
Thanks in advance for any and all help/recommendations! I looking forward to being apart of this community!
