Tombstone, where are you in PA? I’m in Coatesville and thought I’d ask.

Thank you Rick, appreciate the message and do you have clean title in hand with your name on it? What's the background story to the truck? Where are you located please?

So sorry to hear. Not the way you want to inherit a vehicle and my hearts heavy for you. Your dad had great taste in trucks and it will serve you well. It’s a great group with a lot of knowledge to share so ask away when guidance is needed.

Great truck! Welcome to the group.

Thank you Blert. Top end rebuild, new guides, tentioners (one was sitting in the oil pan and still ran) head gasket, WP, etc. Engine is bulletproof and wish Ford would have just stuck with this winner 4.0.

Thanks for the tip on the fan shroud. I looked on Rockauto for an aluminum t-stat housing. No luck so where can I find one? Again, first time diving into a project like this and appreciate any and all feedback you can give Dillard000. Thanks and enjoying the education from this group.

It’s a 2002 stock engine, pulled from a truck my son totaled into another stock/OEM roller. It’s not been a cheap experience but I wanted to do this to confirm prices, issues, life hacks and in the end get a “new” truck. With the market still so upside down I didn’t want car payments.

It’s ALIVE!! Sounds great, still needs to be checked for multiple things before letting go on the road. Already looking for the next project.

Pulled the seized engine and installed the rebuilt.

Curtis, thank you! Appreciate the post and so sorry to hear it broke down on you. That’s the worst and been there, done that, have the t-shirt. My focus however is one 2000-2003 when the “E” engine was used. Ford did it’s Sport Trac followers dirty when they went digital odometer and the “K”...

Todd can you share the post with the Gen one? I'll look on FB but that group might be private. Thanks in advance.

I have a totaled 2002 ST that’s donating its 4.0 to another that will be on the road soon. Looking for the next project for winter. Too many good parts that can go into the next “barn find”. MUST HAVE SOLID FRAME to pass Pennsylvania state inspection. Bring me your ugly, blemished, engine...

The trans cooler is sitting there above the bumper so take a look below the radiator.

Currently in the process of having my old engine pulled and a donor engine rebuilt and installed. The market is SO UPSIDEDOWN that even finding a truck at a good price point is impossible. That's one reason I've started to notice open barn doors, back field "retired" vehicles and none registered...

Thank you! It does, just routes a different way. Appreciate the time taken to help and ordering this evening. Have a great day.

2002 Sport Trac, 4.0 - previous owner cut this 1/4” ID hose (for some reason) and Auto Zone is not showing a pic. Starts on the coolant rail, next to trans dip stick and runs 12” forward then a 90 degree to the drivers side and into the second inlet. Both pictured and when I squeeze the upper...

So my son introduced me to this wild looking compact truck when he got his license and bought one from my best friend. "Goofy looking, small and not worth my time," were my initial thoughts and then like moss it grew on me. Now I'm first gen loyal, love the following the model has and looking...
