    4x4 Again

    Getting super frustrated as it seems every time I need my 4x4 it is not working. Currently on my 3rd transfer case motor and 2nd control module (Motorcraft). 2002 Sport Trac, 225K. Any thoughts why this keeps going out? I do "exercise" the system periodically. When it was not working about...

    Scan Tool

    Anybody have an OBD2 Scan Tool that you prefer for home use with Fords? Besides our '02 Sport Trac, we have a 2016 Edge Sport and a 2023 Bronco Sport.

    Replace Front Axle Shaft

    Also, the truck has 220K. If I replace the axle, can I go with the generic shaft or do I need the Motorcraft?

    Replace Front Axle Shaft

    After a recent 200 mile trip, I noticed a burning grease smell coming from the left front of my 2002. After checking things out, I located a ripped axle shaft boot that was ripped and slinging grease all over. After I replace the shaft, do I need an alignment?

    Tire Wear

    What tire pressures have you been using? Max pressure is 44 lbs., I usually run around 40. Stock sizes? Yes Have the alignments been done by reputable shops and provided the results to you after? I have had the truck aligned at the local Goodyear shop, at a local independent shop, and a...

    Tire Wear

    This is the 3rd set of tires (including original Wranglers) that have exhibited the exact same tire wear. I have replaced upper/lower ball joints, inner/outer tie rods, hubs, shocks, and several alignments. Religiously rotate tires every oil change. Two questions - 1. Why the same wear all...

    Wheel hub assembly?

    For the hubs, I have had the best success with the Motorcrafts from Rock Auto. Went super cheap once on hubs and they did not last. Last time around with brakes and rotors I went with the Bosch pads and rotors and all good. The Wagner Thermoquiet pads are good too.

    Disposal of Used Coolant

    Called the dealer. They change coolant for $149 and I assume dispose of old antifreeze properly. For peace of mind on disposal, I'm going to have them do it.

    I Thought Things Came in 3's

    Definitely the rear differential. Not sure what part(s) are making the noise. Was able to find a used rear end in IL from a 2002 Sport Trac, 4.10 gears, and 110K ($400). Decided to swap the entire rear assembly. Things went smoothly, and truck runs good. Had to replace brake hardware and...

    Rear End Whine

    I looked at the "whole axle" with the differential today. It was a mess - Missing parts, looked like it had been sitting outside for 10 years. I think I will go ahead with just the differential from the other source. Any red flags for anyone? And, go with the used with 110K for $400 vs. new...

    Rear End Whine

    The axle is from a 2001 Sport Trac with 127K I'm wondering what the easier remove and replace would be.

    Rear End Whine

    I have a choice: Differential or entire axle. What is the more straightforward remove and replace?
