If your chain only rattles on start-up and then goes away once it warms up... Then you should change the tensioners as described in the link (watch parts one and two) One thing the presenter fails to mention is that you must pump up the new tensioners with oil before installing...

2003 at 99k miles I am trying to troubleshoot a clunk that i hear on my left front driver's side. I hear this clunk when turning left and pulling into the driveway as I hit the ramp. I don't hear it any other time. If I drive down the road a swing the steering wheel back and forth I...

I just did the body mounts on my 2003. I used the Prothane kit. I just wanted to add a few tips that I think were not mentioned in other post regarding this project. 1) The plastic trim pops up so you can roll the floor mat to gain access. You do not need to remove the seats to gain...

It all started out when my brother looked at my tires a few weeks ago and said "You know..those tires are not going to make it through the winter." Thus began the quest. I had been reading on various forums about some re-tread tires from a company called TreadWright. They have these nice...

Just wondering if anybody has ever done a band adjustment on their transmission. Did it improve?

2003 Gen 1, 95k miles. I was coming home in the snow this evening and I noticed that the 4wd high dash light was not lit, even though I was in 4wd. I selected 2wd and confirmed that it went back to 2wd. I drove for a bit and then selected it back into 4wd high and saw the 4wd high...

I was talking to my brother recently and he mentioned he had to replace the driveshaft bearings on his F-150 at around 115K. Just wondering what the collective experience is in the case of the Sport Tracs driveshaft bearings. Anybody change these lately? Looks like a fairly easy job.

I am thinking about refreshing brakes on all 4 corners. Rock Auto has Power Stop full Rotor/Pad kits at a pretty good price. But they list two different rotor sizes for the front rotors. 12.01 inch and 11.97 inch. I never knew the 1st gen tracs had different front rotor sizes...

I am in the process of installing a rear view backup camera. I've just finished routing the wires through the headliner and down through the back pillar. On a Gen 1, if you open the compartment behind the rear seat and pull back the lining, there is a spare connector plugged into a dummy...

With the advent of snow in my area, I was reminded of the issue I've always had where, if I'm climbing a hill, and gun it, I would experience wheel hop in the rear suspension. This is a 2003 sport trac with limited slip rear btw. So I looked on the web last night and read on several...

I know this topic has been beaten like a dead horse... I've decided to go on a "increase fuel economy" crusade. My first step was to setup ProScan on a laptop with a ELM 327 ODB/USB interface so I could monitor gas mileage. My 2003 Sport Trac has about 83K miles. It is 4wd with an...

Generally I've found the stock cloths seat on my 2003 sport trac to have held up pretty well. After upgrading to a deluxe center console this past weekend I noticed in the center panel of the driver's seat, right where my wallet is in my right rear pocket the fabric was "fuzzing up". It...

My shifter is getting sloppy. Sometimes I have to fiddle with it to get it into drive. For example: this morning leaving for work I thought it was in drive but apparently not. Tranny does not like being off in detent! I checked the torx screws under the column and they are tight...

I picked up this Leer cap on Craigslist last weekend. For $100! It didn't come with any of the mounting hardware. So I went to the hardware store and got 4 eyelets and some large fender washers. I cut a small section out of the eyelets to turn them into "hooks" and I just hooked to the...

Does anybody make stainless braided aftermarket flexible brake line kit for the Sport Trac?

Factory hard tonneau cover for sale off of my 2003 Sport track. Asking $200 or best offer. Call me at 267-seven six zero-3114. I am entertaining local pickup only. I am 15 miles north of Philadelphia, PA.

I replaced the upper, lower ball joints (and wheel bearings) on my 2003 recently, thought I would post about it. I have about 80K miles on my Sport Trac. I bought the following kit on ebay: Item # 290867323586 I know, no name brand, but I have no complaints (no issues after 2...

Looking for discontinued napier spotz bed tent.

Two weeks ago my 2003 ST failed to start after I did a 15 mile drive to a Lowes. I bought a can of starting fluid and it would run off of the spray only. So it was a no fuel situation. After an hour or so of sitting, the truck magically started again. Pulling codes with the ODB reader...

Just installed this HD radio. http://www.dualav.com/receivers/xhd7714.html $140 at Walmart (+$20 for bezel and harness). Very happy with the features of this radio. Built in Bluetooth for the cell phone. Plays mp3's off the usb. A lot of value here. The bezel kit fit...
