[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1050564, member: 74901"] Good lookin' SportTrac! Welcome to the Herd; lots of friendly knowledgable folk in these forums. Watch out for rust on those RunningBoards; ate up identical ones on my 2001; removed them & actually like the look better. Consider swappping the notorious leaking JunkPlastic ThermoStatHousing to an Aluminum version. Change those 2 notorious OilPressurized TimingTensioners every 12yrs\100kMiles, before they fail & cause the LeftFront &\or RightRear TimingGuides to fail. Oil+Filter changes every 6mths\4kMiles will also help prevent Tensioner failure. Also do a full Transmission service every 32kMiles\4Yrs: * PanDrop + ValveBodyBolt Retorq * New Filter + PanGasket + 5~7qt MerconV * Band Adjust 5r55e Transmission is notorious for failing after 100kMiles if not routinely serviced. Again, welcome! [/QUOTE]
