I found a machine shop that a friend referred me to. They checked the heads and shaved the gasket mating service. Said the cam is just fine. They did both head for $120.00.....

Guys, I am in the process of rebuilding my engine in my 2001 sport trac. OEM temp thermostat is 192. When looking up thermostats it gives you an alternative temp of 180. I really like the idea of lowering the engine temp, but I read that the PCM might try to reach 192 by dumping extra fuel into...

I checked with two local machine shops and they want about $800 each to straight/machine the heads. I just wish we had more new vehicle options, in the charlotte area you can't find a new pickup for under 42K.. I am going to try and pull a head from pick a part and check it for warpage before I...

Well now that I removed the engine and completely torn it down, the driver side head is warped .010 and the passenger side is warped .06. Anyone know where I could get a set of heads at a reasonable price? The block is perfect but with a .010 warp on the head that means the camshaft is warp...

Thanks, just thought I would run it by y'all. Started stripping hoses and radiator yesterday. I'll tear it down and see what I see. Thanks again

Hey guys, I have been making many small repairs to my 2001 4x2, things like window regulators, shocks, thermostat, cruise control and a bunch of stuff like that. Pull into work yesterday morning and my engine quickly begins to overheat. I pull the dip stick and the milky oil said it all. I have...

I read one of the post that someone bought the kevlar infused mounts, so I checked them out and they seem like a quality product at a good price (164.00) with free shipping. I know the rubber mounts would give me the comfortable ride that I'm looking for but at a cost of 330.00 and the chance I...

That is a great web site, it gets down to very small parts. https://www.fordpartsgiant.com/parts-list/2001-ford-explorer_sport_trac/body_and_paint/chassis_frame.html

Thank you sir..

I just ordered the body mounts for my 2001 and I can not find any place that sells the hardware for it. So, I will clean up what I have, I know the two front bolts are 12-1.75mm but I don't know what all the other bolts are. I would like to buy a tap and die for each size. I know most everyone...

I bought an after market switch (Duralast). I hope it doesn't catch fire. :oops: As far as the OBD2 scanner goes I'm not sure I would know how to work the thing LOL

OK, so now that I had a few weeks of driving my 2001 (6/2000) sports trac with 139K I am finding all kinds of small problems. Presently I am working on the cruise control that doesn't work. I replaced the buttons on the steering wheel (horn works) I replaced the deactivation switch on the...

I was hunting pricing of shocks and this popped up, never seen this before.

Thanks, My son said he can get me all new hoses that are braided, so I just cut the heater hoses and then put a coupling in for now.

Blert, thanks for the shock info and the code. The truck has 139K on it and doesn't seem to like it was well maintained. I did find out today that it has a new radiator in it, I noticed what looked like oil in the radiator and overflow. Took it to a mechanic who said it was residual stop leak...

I just bought this vehicle 1 week ago so there is limited information. I was told one shock was replaced ( because the others were still good) LOL. BLERT mentioned the Monroe shocks and I priced them at $61.99 each. With all the things I need I'm putting together a list and it's cost. As far...

I will get them today. Thanks. My tires say they should be 255/70R16, you see any reason i can change them to 235/70R16? The tire OD are the same (30.1 to 29.9) The 255 are all terrain and the 235 i would like to get are highway. Thoughts??

New guy here... I had to give my car to my 16 year old daughter so I went out and bought a 2001 2wd sports trac. The seats are far more comfortable than my car but the ride, not so much. What suspension parts can I put on that will greatly improve comfort? So I could replace the shocks, but...
