My '04 would sometimes do something similar over the summer. It would start to turn over, hesitate, then start. The gauges would go bonkers for a second, and the trip odometer would reset. It hasn't done it recently - since I put a new battery in it! I never made the connection until now! The...

FINALLY found and fixed the issue preventing adjustment of the headlights on my '04 Sport Trac! When I bought it a year ago in August, the driver's side headlight hit the ground 10-15 feet in front of he truck, while the passenger side light pointed up at the signs and trees on the side of the...

I unplugged the switch for the heated seat in my '04. I think some current was getting through the switch to the seatback heater. It was hard to tell if it was actually the heater since it was 96 and 99 degrees with heat indexes of 110+ and the sun shining on me a couple of days last week. I was...

They will bolt right in. You might have to splice some wires if you have power seats as the connectors are/might be different. I swapped '98-99, possibly 2000, Explorer seats into my '01 and '02 Sport Tracs.

I bought aluminum t-stat housings from Parts Geek for both my '02 and '04 Sport Tracs. They come with both sensors, thermostat, and the hose that comes off the bottom of the housing. I reused my sensors and t-stats instead of the ones that came with the housing. Cost was $55(?) shipped. I'm...

People don't realize how stretched out the wheelbase on these is. I had a coworker who drove a '97 F-150 Extended Cab, and he'd give me a strange look when I made a comment about turning into tight parking spaces with my Sport Trac. I went from a Bronco II to a '94 Explorer 4 dr to the Sport...

Not today, but in the past 2 weeks, I've - replaced the starter on my '04 Sport Trac (so much fun - NOT!) - replaced the upper control arm and ball joint on the passenger side of my '02 ST, and installed camber bolts in preparation for new front tires and alignment Thursday. The current tires...

That looks the same as what I got, but mine included the lower hose, 2 clamps, and new bolts for the same price.

Two weeks ago, I replaced the passenger side valve cover gasket on my 2002 ST. Wasn't as bad as I expected. I had done the driver's side in the fall, and the passenger side was just beginning to noticeably leak. It went to smoking a lot in a short time. Last week, I replaced the thermostat...

2nd Gen Explorer ('95-'01 and '01-02 2 dr Sports) seats bolt right in, but the fabric is different. The seats with adjustable headrests are specific to the Sport Tracs and '01 to '03 Sports, I think. I think Explorer seats all the way back to the '89 Bronco II will bolt in. Most all Ford seats...

I'm about to replace the housing on my '04, so I'm glad to run across this! I replaced the one on my '02 ST over a year ago with an aluminum one from Parts Geek. I had read the link above at that time, but forgot about it. As I recall, you can push the clips for the sensors in instead of pulling...

2nd Gen Explorers use a nearly identical jack. The difference is they lack the holes in the base that the hooks in the ST go into to keep it from moving around.

To follow up on my post of Oct, 26, we took our 1357 mile round trip to Worthington (Columbus), Ohio via I-80, I-74, and I-70 2 weeks ago in my '02 ST. The truck did great, but didn't get the mpg I'd hoped. Wind was a factor. There was a 25-30 mph NNW wind hitting the left rear quarter for the...

Motivated by a 1300 mile round trip coming next week, I finally replaced the original spark plugs and wires in my 2002 ST at 127,555 miles a few weeks ago. I've had the plugs for several years knowing it needed to be done. The gaps on plugs 1-3 were around .072, while 5 & 6 were .092 and .096...

The leather on the steering wheel in my '01 would twist, but the glue never leaked out or caused a mess. I swapped it 6 years ago with one from an '02 that has held up well. The '01 died last fall, and I recently put the original wheel back in it. After 6 years in the basement, the glue set...

You'll need a steering wheel from a 2001-2005 Sport Trac or '01-03 2dr Explorer Sport. Explorer steering wheels probably physically fit, but the air bags and electrical connectors to the air bag are different.

I don't know much about '03s, but my '01 has a sunroof and cloth seats. That was before the XLT was a designated package, though.

I think I was referring to the clips in the bed extender. The bed I took off my '01 still has the striker bolts in it, but they aren't coming out. Assuming the striker bolts are the same for both generations of Sport Tracs, you can use door striker bolts, but I don't know the #. For my '02, I...

I'll have to look. I'm not sure if I was referring to bolts or the clips above.

A little late, but my '02 has gold coolant. I think the '02s can use either green or gold.
