OK so the results are in.........Calipers were installed upside down by my son and I NEVER picked up on it. Was so dam proud of the kid for doing all the work without me I simply did not focus on the most basic issue at hand. Regret the delay in response and KISS method works with issues like...

I'm struggling for answers and hope someone can help. My son's 2002 Sport Trac has never failed him (been to Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Syracuse, NYC, DC in the last year) and we decided to replace brakes, rotors, pads, brake booster, shocks, etc. to get another 100k and pass PA state...

OK experts I love the truck, runs nice, blue tooth stereo, road manners are perfect and leather. ONLY ISSUE is it's been back to my engine guy once (and going back again) as after 200 miles rear main seal starts to leak. Replaced under warranty and got back last week. Was dry for 7 days and then...

2001 Ford Sports Track ( Parts) Posting for those who are looking for stock Gen One parts. Guy has two he is parting out. Nathan is his name so check out his FB post. Not a scam, have messaged him and asked bout parts so please note that I've investigated and he's legit.

Third time is a charm! After 23 phone calls, two engines pulled but problems found (no good) and almost 60 days later the used engine arrived. Installing this weekend, save your “K” engines as I’m tearing the old one down this month for rebuild. I ❤️ Ford Blue!! Before and after pics, I’ve got...

Thanks Todd, the car-parts site is where I found my two already. Now calling yard after yard to make sure its a sport trac K with the coil pack in the rear and not an explorer K. What a pain in the neck this has been. Once it's done I'm going to start rebuilding just K engines for a side hustle.

Ok so who has a “K” engine for my 2004 ST? Two yards, paid two invoices and once pulled both engines were found to have issues (water damage and hole in the block.) In SE PA and searching VT and OH next. Anyone have a spare they are looking to part with?

Ok so clearly the “K” engine is harder to find than the “E” in my area. Project truck getting a power plant swap and the yard sends an Explorer SUV engine………WRONG. Could tell from the pic and not going to chance it. My favorite site “Carpartsdotcom” had a listing in Mass, bought it, shipping...

Thanks for the tutorial Dillard000. Will have to learn more about the K as only ever worked on the E before. Appreciate the time taken to explain, and that’s a good looking power plant. Already looking for the next project……….it’s sure better than drugs or chasing women. LOL!!!

Ok thanks! I got concerned when I see the coil pack in the front versus the rear. Yes, top side rebuild and my engine guy said the same thing you did above. Just wanted to make sure and that’s why I enjoy this group.

Ok so the bone yard delivered this “K” engine. Tell me that’s an Explorer K, and tell me why it’s not going to work please?

My project ST cruise controls are trashed. See a lot of choices online but which is the best? Which have you had success with? (photo is a sample)

Thank you! Found that cast metal t-stat housing and ordered thanks to your feedback. Cherry picked from your list, and have to watch budgets. Have two other projects in the works also…………yes I’m addicted to Sport Tracs.

Ooooooooo, what’s an “X” engine? Have to research that now too. Thanks!

Ok so found an engine ($2250.00) with 135k and one year parts/labor warranty from the shop. Rock Auto for all needed too end rebuild parts ordered last night. Will post pictures as the progress goes. was not aware of the rear chain but guessing that’s why there was a third in the set. Going to...

I bought my next project yesterday and I will be the first time working on a “K” engine. Timing guides are laying in the oil pan so rattles horribly but it still runs and drives. Needs some TLC but remote start (bonus!) NEED YOUR FEEDBACK PLEASE: Pull the rads out to access OR pull the engine...

Thank you! A lot of great info (as always) and truly appreciated!

Hello my name is Jake and I'm addicted to Sport Tracs (group replys "HI JAKE") and as I research for my youngest sons first car I've found a 1998 Explorer, higher mileage, no rust, mint interior, one parent owner in amazing shape with the 4.0 liter "E" engine. PLEASE NOTE - we just completed a...

Hello and thanks for posting. Might have missed it but price you're looking for?
