Don't know about "smart". Learned 99% from others on these forums. Also here long enough to hear another description of failed OE front sway bar end links. Probably the cheapest and easiest suspension fix you'll ever do. Good luck!

OE front sway bar end links are probably the first and most common suspension failure. Factory design uses small diameter bolts and hard bushings that tend to trap moisture resulting in bolt corrosion or bushings breaking. Early in my trucks life I had multiple failures after "upgrading" to Moog...

What year? Like most trucks Sport Tracs are notorious for suspension parts wear. Lift the front tires off the ground and support with solid jack stands. Crawl under and inspect all suspension parts for wear or looseness. Lower and upper ball joints are usually the first to go. Also check both...

2004-05 instrument cluster issues are VERY common with 2004-05 Sport Tracs with digital ODO's. Call CBM? https://circuitboardmedics.com/2004-2005-ford-explorer-sport-trac-instrument-cluster-repair/

Sounds like the Ford/Motorcraft MFS is discontinued. IF the MFS switch is your wiper problem click the link below. Confirm fitment BEFORE ordering. https://sporttrac.org/threads/2004-2005-turn-signal-switch-substitute.123518/ Here's a related EF thread. Once again, check similar threads on the...

Never had a wiper problem with my 2005. IIRC, the multi function switch (MFS) is notorious for intermittent issues on 2001-05 Sport Tracs. Another possibility is the MFS connector being too short from the factory causing certain functions to fail after the steering wheel was tilted. IF you have...

Just posting this EF sticky while you're waiting for our resident "guru" @DILLARD000 to answer. Also check "Similar Threads" on bottom of the page. https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/threads/ford-timing-chain-tensioner-cutaway.490702/

No. 2007-10 bed is larger.

Think you're right. Sounds like the flasher relay is in the smart junction box. (SJB) https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/search/2402577/?q=flasher+relay&t=post&c[child_nodes]=1&c[nodes][0]=111&o=relevance Don't hold me to this though. Hopefully someone with a Gen 2 Sport Trac with flasher...

^ Definitely. 50% of new car dealership profits are from service and parts.

4.0L SOHC is actually very stout. Bottom end is almost bulletproof and rarely hear about issues. Achilles heel has ALWAYS been the plastic timing guides that deteriorate over time and break. Years ago I was writing and begging reputable aftermarket engine parts companies such as Cloyes and...

Welcome @Drkhorse Always nice to see new members with automotive experience share their knowledge. I have a 2005 with 90,000 miles that sounds like a broken primary tensioner when cold or at normal operating temp. I know it's the easy one to replace, but need an excuse to drop in a 302...

How much brake fluid loss? Leaking caliper piston seals are somewhat common, but should leave traces of fluid.

Love the utility of the Sport Trac, but I'm 5'5" and stock height was just too high for my shorter mother to get in and out of easily. Sure, I could carry around a step stool, but really? Even worse was loading something heavy into my almost chest high bed. There are very few places on this...

Thanks. Bought used in 2009 with 46,000 miles. Averaged around 3000 to 4000 miles a year until I retired in 2021. Currently just below 90,000 and drove less than 2000 miles last year. Almost a garage queen now. Suspension drops are relatively easy with 2001-05 Sport Tracs. Remove both front...

I'm lowered 3 inches so no body lift experience. Didn't read these other threads, but there may be some info regarding your Performance Accessories 70023 lift kit. GL Search results for query: pa 70023 https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/search/2306808/?q=pa+70023&o=relevance...

OEM bed dividers are RARE. I would BUY it if you were willing to ship. IIRC, I've seen ONE come up for sale since I've been here. (2009)
