    Vibration/shuddering when starting off from stop

    '04 Sport Trac, 4X4, limited slip rear, 80K miles. When I come to a stop and then take off again, I feel a strong vibration throughout the truck. It has done it for quite some time, I'm not sure when it started but it has gotten worse lately. This is my first limited slip rear, I initially...

    Speaker/head unit upgrade

    I've got interior panels off of my '04 for other reasons, thought I might look into an audio upgrade while things are opened up. My XLT Premium has the factory Pioneer 6 disc changer and the sub woofer. I would much rather listen to what's on my Ipod rather than mess with CD's, and I listen to...

    Fuel Cap Blues

    So for the past year I would get code P0442 jpop up very intermittingly, like once every couple months. I have just reset it and it stayed off for a month or so. Earlier this week, the Check Fuel Cap indicator came up, I checked cap and seemed fine, but it continues to come up every time I...

    Can someone explain this?

    For the past several months my electrical system has been acting funny. When I have the headlights on (and I usually have the fog lights on as well), it really struggles to start, and sometimes in the starting process it causes the power door locks to partially actuate (not enough to lock or...

    CEL/fuel vapor equipment

    When I replaced my rear shocks, in order to reach the top mounting bolts, I ended up having to take out the spare tire as well as take loose the bolts that hold that shelf that the fuel vapor canisters and whatnot are mounted on. In the process, some of the hoses came loose from the boxes...

    This is just wrong

    So I'm watching the hockey game tonight, live from Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan, in the good ol' U. S. of A., and I notice that one of the sponsers on the boards is Honda. Am I the only one that seems wrong to? Certainly the powers that be with the Red Wings could find someone else to...

    Todd Z, others who've changed crank pulley

    I'm having a terrible time tracking down tools to change the crank pulley. The bolts for the harmonic balancer puller from autozones loaner were too short to get threaded, so I had to improvise with some 1/4-20 rod, nuts, and fender washers to make a puller. Now the installer that I just got...

    Harmonic Balancer failure?

    For some time now, about every other start of my engine the truck would shake voilently, almost like the starter motor was loose or something. The other times it started smoothly. Now my harmonic balancer has failed (rubber gave way and now the pulley itself has moved about an inch back toward...

    A day shouldn't turn out like this

    After living with a short squeal for the past two months on morning startup, my yesterday began with the squal getting worse and not stopping, I could also smell a little burning rubber from the belt. Figuring it's either the tensioner or the idler pulley making all the noise, I bought both and...

    HD Radio

    Anybody looked into adding an HD tuner to the factory radio? I have the 6 disc pioneer with factory subwoofer system and would rather not change that.

    Rear brake check

    Anybody had to check/replace the rear pads on their ST? Easy as the front to replace? I've developed a terrible squeal from the back when braking, goes away when firm on brake. How about the emergency brake drum? Is it easy to get into?

    New shocks, now I have a squeak!

    I finally replaced the goodyears with Michelin Cross Terrains, and over a couple of weekends installed some Rancho RSX's on the front and back. Love the ride, but now I have this annoying squeak coming from the rear. Especially noticalble witht he rear window open. To replace the rears, I...

    Alignment

    I need to get an alignment on my '04 ST. Am I going to get screwed with a high bill when they tell me the camber is off? I've asked the question before and the answers are all over the board as to whether or not a camber kit would have to be installed, so I'm just looking for a definitive...

    Camber kit install

    I saw the project on installing a camber kit, I was curious if there are any substantial differences in installing the kit on a 4X4, as the project was for a 4X2. Anyone done this on a 4X4?

    Camber confusion?????

    I did a search and read several posts, but instead of questions getting answered I just ended up with more. On my '04 4X4 ST with 28,000 miles, original shocks and crapyears, the inside tread on the front tires looks like it is feathering inside to outside and front to back on drivers and...

    Time to upgrade the shocks

    I think it's finally time (don't know how I've lasted this long). Anybody know who's got the best pricing on Ranchos RSX or 5000's, or maybe reflexes? Tires are next, gotta get rid of the crapyears.

    Ranger/Explorer stuff

    Cleaning out my garage, have some stuff from my '93 ranger I want to get rid of. Socket for auto locking hubs, works on '93 ranger but I think will fit '90 BII, 91-95 Explorer and 91-97 Ranger. Will throw in a PVC male adapter that fits over hub to push in the plastic spring ring easily...

    Anyone who's bought or sold a bed extender online - shipping question

    How was it shipped? And if it was sent through Greyhound, was it packaged up or just an address label attached? Actually, if it was shipped any other way, let me know how it was packaged. Thanks.

    Bed damage

    Who has damaged the bed of their ST and how? I'm mainly looking for damage to the side/front walls of the bed, top of the bed, and tailgate. I'm trying to rig a way to carry two motorcycles in the bed, but I'm looking for any weak points in the bed itself. Let me know what broke, how it...
