Thanks for all of the advice, but after reasearching it more, we traded the truck in on an 06 Vue. When I first bought the truck I was on many websights, not this one though, and it seemed the average MPG for the Sport Trac should have been around 15-16. After getting 10 MPG on average, there...

I know someone that can change gears out, I wonder what the truck would get with 308 gears in it? Or 267 LOL....ok well maybe thats a bit low.

I should also mention its a 4x4, I suppose that hurts a bit, but I cant imagine that much. We did manage to get 22 out of it on a highway trip, but 10 around town is unacceptable and ridiculous. I will do the plugs, perhaps an Ebay cold air intake, and new wires and go from there. I...

thanks I will try this. That is if I can get the trucks dismal 10.5 MPG up to atleast 15 or 16. If not than its going bye bye.

What can I do to increase the gas miledge in the wifes 01 Sport Trac? Its currently averaging 10.5MPG. She drives very nicely, never gets on it much. It has 88000 Miles on it now, I was thinking perhaps I should change the spark plugs and maybe the wires (assuming there are wires...

Both of my locks have done this. The key turns and the cables do not move. Anyone know the part numbers I will need to get these replaced? Also how do I take this apart? I should have bought an aftermarket cover, they look better, and would have had new keys. SO far I spent 300 for...

I picked one up off of ebay for cheap... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&item=280059530497

Jcwhitney doesnt list any. errr, rather they do, but when you go into the sub heading, they dont list a price, part number or anything of the sort. I have emailed them, but have yet to receive an answer.

Does anyone know where I can get Tan carpet kit to go over the rubber floor? I have seen people on here with sets, but I cant find any that are actually for sale in Tan.

I actually miss our 05 Town & Country minivan. It got way better gas miledge than the ST, was much more comfortable, and had way more room. It was stolen though. We replaced it with a 2001 Venture WB Van. It was also comfortable, but far inferior to the T&C. However the wife wanted a truck...

what are you looking to get for them? I live about 200 miles away...

Really.... 21 MPG local? I think we are averaging around 15. Already told the wife, truck sits in the garage, drive the winter beater, its gets 25mpg on average. Sorry but gas around here is 2.75 a gallon right now..........I could spend 30 for two weeks of driving in the Duster, or...

I might be interested. Where do you live... Shipping is what kills these sales I believe....

Sounds like a damn good deal... Just got ours (its really the Wife's truck) 3 weeks ago. Its an 01 with 80000 miles. 4x4 Moon roof, leather, six disc bla bla bla... An even trade for our 2001 Chev Venture WB that had 65000 on it. Mama is happy she finally got a...

THank you , thats exactly what I needed. I can justify paying 20 bucks for it. Thanks... I live on Ebay. DOnt know why I never thought of looking for it there........LOL
