Thanks for the advice Ed. I think I will try the mothers product because the color is really almost gone.

Thanks Rich, I will definitely check it out.

I've heard that there can be some noise with that Belkin adapter, Do you ever get any static or interference? If it's a clear signal I may try that.

Anyone know if the rubber around the windows can be painted. Living in the southwest the sun has really done a number on it as far as fading. Was wondering if anyone knows if it can be done and what type of paint to use. (Black Color).

I have a 02 Trac, I was wondering if anyone knows of an inexpensive stereo with an MP3 plug that I can buy for it. I am not looking to upgrade the speakers or anything like that, I just want to be able to plug the I-POD in and be able to listen to it. (The cassette player is broken so that...

Just wanted to Thank fellow members of this site that offered advice on the belt change. Took about 30 minutes. Not bad for first timer like me.

Anyone know where to order a nice replacement center console/armrest to place between the bucket seats in an 02 Trac? I have gone to Ford and gotten 2 already but they keep breaking after about 2 years. It is starting to get very costly.

I'm sure somebody on the site has done a belt change, I am just wondering if it is easy to change the belt on the Trac?

My radiator has a small leak. added some stop leak about a year ago and that fixed the problem but it is leaking again. The shop I use wants $450-$500 for the repair. That is the total price including labor. Is that a good deal?

I have developed a small leak in my radiator, I was wondering if it is something I can replace myself or let a shop do it with an estimated replacement cost of 450-500 bucks. I think this is a fair price but was wondering what other Trac owners think. The 450 -500 is total cost including labor.

I am getting a code P0442. Anyone have information on how to fix this? I would rather do it myself than turn it into a mechanic.

While cheking my hoses to the evap cannister I noticed a rubber hose coming off the rear axle that is not connected to anything. It terminates by the evap cannister but there is absolutely no place to connect it. Is this just some type of vent or pressure release?
