    What did you do to your Sport Trac today?

    I already know that pain from replacing outer tie rods. I hosed it down a couple of nights ago with the PB. I got my lil blue bottle torch on the knuckle, hosed it then worked on something for a while, lather rinse repeat. I gave it a few good hwachks with the blunt end of my mighty axe then I...

    What did you do to your Sport Trac today?

    Looking at some pics from last summer and we put a lot of miles on her. The first pic is from when we went camping in Georgia. Then later that summer I went camping with my family in Northern Michigan over 4th of July weekend.

    What did you do to your Sport Trac today?

    Picked up my new front wheel hub today for the 08. Got the three bolts off the back and the big nut off the CV, and was able to push the CV back but that old hub is not coming off. I tried everything I could but it won't budge. Any suggestions would be appreciated my wife misses her car 😂

    Inconsistent front end noise

    08 ST V6 4x4 I'm getting this inconsistent vump vump vump vump noise when accelerating, usually starting around 40, and the faster I go the more consistent the sound is. It also seems to be present during braking but I'm not sure if that is just because I'm decelerating. So not sure if it's a...

    It was nice when we got there, but then by Saturday it filled up with campers.

    What did you do today?

    Made the drive from Michigan to Georgia for the wife's family reunion. The view was beautiful, and the weather wasn't to bad. I think I would have enjoyed my time more if I didn't spend most of the time driving instead of camping.

    A little cranky in the morning

    -08 V6 4x4 199000 miles I've been noticing that, especially when the truck has been sitting a while, it takes a little extra to get started. It's a few extra cranks, it's not like I'm cranking and cranking all day long. Normally I wouldn't worry too much, but we are towing a pop-up camper from...

    Auto 4x4 question

    Sorry still trying to figure that out. 08 V6 4x4 When I say on off I can feel it slip for half a second then bam the 4x4 kicks in and it does in rather rapid succession. No lamps or indicators. As far as being serviced I only had the truck for about a year so I don't know about any previous...

    Auto 4x4 question

    This is my first winter with my 08 and I was wondering if everything is on the up and up with this. I noticed a lot of times coming from snowy slush on to dry roads or taking off from a light that the auto 4x4 will be on off on off until for about a half mile or so and tends to kind of noisy...

    Jumping out of park on incline

    08 ST V6 4x4 197000 miles I stopped at the incline at the end of my driveway this morning to move some things. Put it in park and noticed the truck rolling back. I put it in park again and it stayed put. I tried a couple of times and noticed that when the truck did roll back the tires kind of...

    What did you do today?

    Got to work today and noticed that my ABS light, which had been on for a month, miraculously cleared itself. Even after leaving work and running a few errands no lights. This came in handy because driving to the end of our little business culdesac hit the brakes and I'd swear I skidded about 100...
