Welp... The time has finally come. The 2002 Sport Trac, clocked in at 214,597 is finally going to a new home. She has been good, I bought her brand new back in 2002, right before the birth of my child. At around 150,000 I did buy a GEN 2 Sport Trac, which I never quite loved as much as the...

Well, The old 2002 ST, which has pretty much sat idle since December... 240K on the odometer. Was saving it for the teenager to drive, but he didn't want it. I parked it, been meaning to do brakes on it for a while, but problems with my back prevent me from doing too much these days, and time...

Traded in the 2010 ST today... It was bittersweet... With my new job, and a pay cut, I ended up with a 2013 Fusion 2.0 EcoBoost. Payment, Gas, and Insurance are all cheaper. But... I'll still be around... I still have my wonderful 2002 ST still putting along after 210,000 Miles. :)...

On my 2010 ST, The paint on the hood is pitting, and you can pick off the clear coat on the spots. It all over the front hood, Mainly on the passenger side, near the windshield. No other parts of the truck have this. It's definitely not from rocks flying while driving, but is a flaw...

Figured someone might get a chuckle at this... Just turned over 2,000 in the new ST, so figured it was time to switch over to Mobil 1... Drain the oil... Check... Take off the oil filter... Yeah, What a pain in the a**... The original oil filter did not want to break loose...

I removed the Sirius tuner from my 2010 Sport Trac. Part Number is: 8S4T-18C963-AH Tuner box only. ( No harness or antenna ) Bought the ST new mid January, so there is still aprox. 4 months of the free 6 Months of Sirius service on the box. ( Dealer said there was 6 Months, I don't...

I have installed an aftermarker nav system in my 2010 ST, It has SYNC, but I've decided to pretty scrap the sync, and not use it. Just for that "Factory Feel" I was wanting to tap into the microphone for voice commands of my new unit. Looking for what pins to tap into at the SYNC module...

In my '10 ST XLT, it currently has the non-nav unit with Sync and Sirius. I'm looking to explore one of two options: 1 - Replace the unit with a factory Nav unit and retain the currrent Sync function. I've heard this can be a pain, and requires the computer to be flashed, possibly the...

This morning my 2002 4x4 turned over 200,000 miles. Brought it home new in Oct. 2002. Major repairs: Resr differential pinion bearing. (Only time it's even been in a shop) Minor Repairs: Front wheel bearring hubs replaced. IAC Replaced twice. Replaced a squeaky pully...

Drove by the dealer this morning, and there it was. I stopped a took a peek. 2010 Black V6 4x4 XLT. I'm stopping in after work, see if I can work out someonething, and take it home. ( My semi-recent divorce crapped my credit, but I have to at least try. ) I was going to wait until...

2002 ST 4X4 At about 100k the rear diff was whining like crazy, Dropped a chunk of change and got the pinion bearing replaced, and all was well. Now at 190k it's starting again... The whine at around 60MPH from the rear only when accelerating or holding, noise goes away when I let off...

Wondering if the Sport Trac Gremlin hit me or something worse... 02 4x4, 154K miles. Tuesday night, nothing strange, all OK, and park the trac for the night. Wednesday morning, I turn the key, and it doesn't start. I try again, and when it kicks in, I press the gas a little...

Finally... She is quiet again... The axle nut wasn't a problem to get loose, a 24" breaking bar, 32mm axle socket, and just stood on it for a sec and loose it came. The royal pain was the three bolts that hold the thing in there. Troubles getting the socket on, troubles getting them...

Never even had to ask... Did some searches, and looked at Woppys project on the front hub bearing. Plan to do this on my 02 4x4 tomorrow. Been getting alot of vibration, and have been thinking it was the new triple tred tires that were cupping or something. After rotation, same...

I had a set of TripleTreds put on the 02 4x4 a couple weeks ago, and over that time, with Ohio weather, they have been in Snow, Rain, Ice and Dry pavement, so thought I'd give my impression of these. I replaced a set of well used Destination A/T tires which I really liked alot, except for the...

After swapping the gear oil in the rear diff, I think maybe I realized why it went bad. Now that new oil is in there, I noticed it was leaking pretty bad where the axle goes in. Was going to drive it up to coastiejoes, which is about 3 hrs away, but decided with that leak, better not...

Even though the Trac has not been feeling well lately, decided I should change the transfer case lube, Looked easy enough. For those who wonder how hard it is to do, personally, it was as easy as changing the oil. I used the suction gun which I already had from where I swapped some...

Howdy, I have a 02 4x4 with 3.73 non-limited slip ( Axle code 46 ) I'm pretty sure from searching here, and talking to a couple buddies, that the rear pinion bearing is unhappy. I get the whine while accelarating, goes away when I let off the gas. Getting loud, espicially when the back...

Someone down the road traded in their ST ( For a Scion XB, Go Figure ) Anyway, he bought new shocks but never put them on, and offered to sell them to me at a decent price. I don't know much about shocks, but thought it would be wise to have the same kind in the front and back. He...

About 5 weeks ago, I had the issue of it not starting, The engine would turn, but wouldn't fire up and run. Eventually, after about 15 minutes of trying, it started, and has ran fine ever since. Just figured the ST gremlen was under the hood. Today, same thing happened. While under...
