Forgot to mention: it's coming from exactly the same place as the turn signal audible indicator, under the steering wheel dash area. It is so intermittent I didn't even hear it yesterday afternoon. Thank you.

2004 Sport Trac XLT (Gen 1?), 110K mi. Just started hearing this scary sound today, sounds quite like the turn signal indicator, but it's totally intermittent, no rate or rhythm consistency like a turn signal has. I can't produce it at any specific speed, etc. In fact, one time today when I...

Went to Johns Automotive Center in San Diego. They aligned the front end, w/o needing a kit. They did say to get it "perfect" it would need one, but the printout shows within tolerances, so it's not worth it. $55, seems like a good shop.

I'm perfectly willing to pay to have my alignment "checked", it's just that I've never done that (I've taken other cars in to have aligned, but not my Trac, so it is probably way overdue). However, some forum members here say that there should be shops that will just check it w/o charge. More...

My front tires were worn on the inside. I replaced just the fronts with used tires in good shape. I want to sell the vehicle and am looking for a 2010 Sport Trac (white XLT). If I have the alignment checked, I'll pretty much have to go with their recommendations, b/c I'll already be on the...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a shop for a front end alignment here in San Diego? Everywhere I call they either don't know anything about the Tracs, or they say that I need a full "cam bolt kit", part #87500, and from what I understand, the 2004's just need cams. One place will do a...

Just spoke with a shop here in San Diego, they told me I need the kit. Called a parts supplier, they said the "cam bolt kit" which has 2 per side, allowing for + / - 2 degrees adjustment, is for Sport Tracs from '03 - '06. I understand that just b/c they make them doesn't mean I need them...

I can't find where it attaches. Does it matter, as long as it isn't crushed off? Thanks.

Any idea what kind of $$ we're talking about to have a shop put in a new one?

(posted in wrong place originally) The fuel gauge reading on my '04 flex fuel Trac started having intermittent problems in 2012. It was very sporadic, only right after fill up, would still show empty, but would usually pop back up to "full" after restarting; or it would slowly creep up while...

My '04 flex fuel Trac started doing the same thing in 2012. It was very sporadic, only right after fill up, and usually popped up to "full" after restarting; or slowly crept up while driving after the fill up, and would be fine after that. Became more common in 2013 after fill ups, and now in...

2004 XLT V6 Sport Trac. Brake light coming on - not sure why, don't see any leakage. Just replaced rotors/pads a year ago. Anyway I need to buy some more to top off, maybe the fluid I used to top off last time had some water in it, which has now vaporized. Are there any real differences? Looking...

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I spent several miserable hours one night putting in some Autolite spark plugs, between 70 and 80K mi. I haven't really noticed it running badly, and with my oil changing schedule, I honestly haven't been checking my oil; lesson learned. But I haven't noticed...

Just got back from having my mechanic do an oil change on my '04 SportTrac Flexfuel with 100,000 miles. I/he has kept it maintained since I bought it new, Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic 5W30 wt. and Motorcraft filter change every 5K mi. It was down almost 2 qt. and he says it's likely Valve Stem Seals...

I never did get this resolved with Amsoil directly despite numerous calls, emails, promises of return calls, etc. But I did get resolution via one of their dealers, who are apparently all independent. Robert Buchaklian, [email protected], 619-866-9988. He will definitely help you out with their...

Might just go to Ford for Motorcraft if I can't p/u an Amsoil tomorrow. But stopped in Pep Boys, he said their Purolator's are "great, they probably make them for Ford's Motorcraft". Doubt it.

I really don't feel like mail ordering an air filter. Isn't there somewhere in San Diego that sells something good? Thanks.

Anyone know anything about (or have experience with) this brand of replacement drop in filter element? $21 on Amazon, vs. about double for K+N. Thanks. 2004 flex fuel trac xlt

I have 90K mi. on my '04 XLT flex fuel and I have always gone 5K mi. and then used Mobil 1 5W30wt fully synth and Motorcraft FL-820S filter. At least this way I can't blame myself later for going cheap on oil/filter changes if something happens; I know it's probably overkill.

What's the best thing to put on the boots before sliding them on the plugs? Thanks.
