    2002 'Trac - Dimensions of biggest Battery?

    I want to find out what is the biggest AGM technology battery that can fit in a Gen1's battery tray. Sorry about the hiatous from this thread. But I've put this off too long. I've already installed a battery isolator, but it may be a little late for that to help me on this issue. I *think*...

    Fuel Pump must be bad

    I just now had this problem.... for me I noticed the tube which vents air-pressure from the valve-cover area back into the air-intake boot becomes very loose in this hot weather. Mine didn't have any hose-clamp or anything on it and you could tell it would suck-in outside air! I noticed...

    Fuel System Failure

    Problem I just encountered right now and fixed was the air-venting tube that goes between valve-cover area and connects with a metal tube in-between over to the air-intake boot. It's a hot day here and after finishing my business at my destination, she wouldn't start. This happened to me a lil...

    Starting Problems

    I just now solved this same problem for myself! There is a tube which vents air pressure from the valve-cover area back over into the air-intake boot. On this hot day... (90 degrees F here) that rubber gets soft... and it surely was sucking-in air from the outside! I was at my local Harbor...

    Spark plug gap question?

    Thanks man. Couldn't find my gap checker, gotta go fetch another one, so wanted to make sure I get one that can measure in it's size range. Did some pokin' around here too and another genlteman recommended getting plug wire boot pulling tool thing to help-out with yankin' the plug wires off.

    Spark plug gap question?

    Sorry for the dumb-sounding question, but .054 What? What is the unit of measurement please.

    Subwoofer question...

    I wouldn't know about that... but if you have a decent/minimal garage+tool assortment. And a nearby Home Depot where you can purchase MDF Fiberboard. I'd highly suggest checking out SonicElectronix dot com. You'd probably be amazed at just how much of an improvement you could do yourself...

    speaker box

    If you take out the rear kick-panel plastic, the black plastic divider screwed into the floor right there... and the spring-loaded flaps which cover the gap when the seats are folded down... you can (and I did) build a righteous shallow-mount ported enclosure. I don't think you could fit a 12...

    2002 'Trac - Dimensions of biggest Battery?

    I read on another forum that somebody tried a Kinetik HC1800 under the hood but that it was a little too tall and the posts touched the hood! (Eeek!) I want to find out what is the biggest AGM technology battery that can fit in a Gen1's battery tray.

    2002 'Trac - Dimensions of biggest Battery?

    Starter and auxillary are wired in parallel, without an isolator, so whenever I need to start the car it's using the power from BOTH of them. I have a 4 gauge ground on the Starter Battery to Frame... and a 4 gauge ground on the auxillary battery out back. The HC600 out back is grounded to...

    2002 'Trac - Dimensions of biggest Battery?

    I already have a 2nd Battery. A little Kinetik HC600. I'm thinking I'll replace the starter battery with either a Kinetik HC1800 or HC2000. I don't have an isolator between the two at the moment. Why do a need an isolator in order for the alternator to charge both batteries? I...

    2002 'Trac - Dimensions of biggest Battery?

    Hey people... I need to know what are the biggest overall dimensions for a battery that can fit in the battery compartment found in a 2002 SportTrac. Saving-up, then gonna order the biggest Kinetik Power Cell that can fit in the starter-battery compartment. I held a tape measure...

    Building SubWoofer Box

    P.S.S. Now that I think about it... the box you makes all depends on the driver (subwoofer) you choose for the job and the manufacturers specs for the enclosure you decide to build. I will say this... you WILL want to go for a port/vented enclosure to get the most output out of the sub you...

    Building SubWoofer Box

    P.S. - Be sure to read the YouTube description of the video... it gives the dimensions of the box displayed in the video. For this box, however, you'd need to remove the Rear kick panel and the rear seat fold-down gap flaps.

    H/O Alternator

    And no.... I'm no longer using a Capacitor since I decided to put-in the Kinetik HC600 2nd battery instead.

    H/O Alternator

    "when you're having issues" <-- A little tricky to test for this do since I can't just sit in the driveway and blast the snot outta the system for minutes at a time. I'm in SoCal... there's this thing in all the 48 of the other states... I heard it's called "space". Well anyway... we don't...

    H/O Alternator

    Help me out here... I'm having a problem where after a certain amount of music playback... (shorter for some songs, longer for others it seems) my amp that does the highs-and-mids (4 ch) has the output "dim" or fade down. I tried 2 different 4-ch amps thinking the first one might have been bad...

    H/O Alternator

    So have many amps output does a (presumably Gen1) v6 2003 SportTrac alternator put out anyway. I think I read somewhere 130 Amps. It this correct?
