    I agree with doug,,the rear window is small so remove and get an accordion boot and have a window to rear, there easy to install and works well. i have a hard time fitting thru but my 110 lb. dutch Shepard can go thru like nothing.

    2010 ST transmission fluid

    Well i have to disagree to agree, i have seen many odd and hard to check items, i never liked the way you have to climb under a vehicle to check differentials but the need to add trans fluid is very rare unless your having issues which fluid change is in the 60k range, is it more convenient to...

    2010 ST transmission fluid

    Yes try and get warm, short drive works best, pressure in lines etc, i will check cold to feel the fluid and see if its dirty but check level after a quick drive. amsoil and other reps have stated the same and not when to hot. they say fluid will show slightly low when to hot, i have never...

    I saw a trac at gas station and his rack system and roof rack looked as it made a large platform for camping, it looked nice and he still had bed for storage, i will see if i can post it but i thought of doing same with a step up tent plat form. could give you some insight.

    Vehicle For Sale 2010 4wd For sale price question

    surging

    I agree with Dillar, my f 150 was doing same as i never drove it, i filled it with good gas and took my throttle body off and cleaned it and drove it and it was fine, it felt like it was dying just starting out but ran fine at higher speed.

    Check Engine comes on when driving 65+ mph sustained

    ya mentioned it all started with freeway driving, it died. how was it acting prior to that incident. have not heard of a harmonic balancer instantly going out like that, they will squeak and cause a vibration. the higher the rpms the faster revolutions will cause it to do what you mentioned...

    '02 Radiator Replacement

    I agree with the factory parts on most items, quite a few on here use aluminum which is great but we used one on my friends gen 1 and had to modify fitment, not much, but not a direct bolt on. in hotter climate or for towing, more rows is better for cooling. personally i would spend a few extra...

    Camper top for a generation 2

    No mods needed, you use c clamps made for shells, pretty simple. i use my shell in winter and switch to hard shell,in summer, with mine i need to take rear brackets for my hard cover off to put shell on. having a shell on is so nice and gives you so much more space. i had a 07 gen 2 and its the...

    Vehicle For Sale 2010 4wd For sale price question

    I can try and help a little, i have been looking at tracs for 20 years and have a few, i have watched prices go insane, the miles might hurt you a bit but is it 4wd or 2 wd, what package is it, xlt etc, v-6 or the v-8. This makes a huge difference in price. dealers have them from 7k to 17k...

    Front end squeak noise!

    If not for the grinding i would say maybe bushing but grinding indicates something moving, i agree with ed maybe in brakes since axles are new. the axle would of been my first thought,, hope ya get it figured out.

    1st gen lift kits

    If your talking a suspension lift, they are hard to find as a kit, took superlift 6 months to build mine back in 04 as they are different then 03, and they discontinued as no one wanted them for tracs, that was a full 4 inch with everything. i have searched for a bolt on kit for years with no...
