Just got back from camping/Rving up in Randle Wa. Here is a pic of the Trac and the 24' Nomad trailer in our site. [Broken External Image]: and here is a pic of the river view: [Broken External Image]: I hope that works to post them this way, if not, go look in my...

I am driving a champagne color Taurus until my Trac is restored to its original glory.

Well, I think my ST is cursed. First I rolled it this winter - bad enough, but I got it all fixed and it was better than new. This Saturday - I was hit from the rear by a guy driving with more than double the legal limit in him. It pushed down my trailer hitch and rear bumper, pushed in...

Hey, getting the Trac moving from a stop while pulling the trailer is ok, but I am working on trying to get a little more power up hills and stuff. Would your modified TB help, and if so, would I lose any low end power? So far the only mod I have done is pull the noise baffle, and make a...

Does anyone know of a location on the web that lists the grades and lengths of mountain passes in the USA? I've been worried about towing the travel trailer over Snoqualmie Pass (I-90) but this weekend we took the trailer down to Seaside Oregon and cut over from I-5 to Hwy 101 via HWY 30 in...

Yay! The body shop had my Trac for a week and it was painful. I was so glad to pick it up Friday. Total damage from the roll was $3600. The repainted my hood, put on a new driver side front fender, new door and window, repainted the side of the bed, realigned the front end, and...

Some of you might know we have had a little snow with ice in Washington. Tonight while my father and I were going out to check out an RV site, I hit a patch of ice, slid across the road, hit a ditch and flipped my Trac onto the drivers side. After 3 hours I got it towed out and home. It...

Just got back from a 10 day trip from Olympia, Wa to Southern California. I tracked miles traveled and gas added to the tank. We had 2 adults, 1 child, bunch of the kids electronics in the back seat, and about 300lbs of stuff in the back. Almost all miles travels were highway except maybe...

I was walking out to my trac the other night from the office and was confronted by this scene: (sorry about the quality, the camera phone sucks) [Broken External Image]:

Well, here's my ST hooked up to the new trailer. http://www.zjstech.net/~library/19484/1trailer.JPG and here is what we went and saw this weekend: http://www.acsolympia.com/kalama/6MtStHelens5.JPG

Well, we went and purchased a camping trailer! Ended up with a 24 ft Nomad 181 LTD. We get to pick it up Saturday morning and we have a spot at the ocean reserved for Saturday night. :) [Broken External Image]:

Thanks for those who recommended disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. This last tank was about 125 miles on the freeway from Olympia to Bellevue and back, and 170 around town only. 16.67 gallons on the fillup last night (3.01/gal!) and I had 17.75 mpg. Much better than the last...

Yesterday I had to pick up my son from elementary school since the normal routine was disrupted. I pulled up into the small drop off/pick up loop in front of the school, looked around and there were 2 white sport tracs in the loop with me. :) Of course, mine being dark blue it was the...

Well, I knew when I bought this that it would not be getting great gas mileage, but so far, I've had this 2004 4x4 for about 6 weeks and the best I've gotten has been 14.4 mpg. The last tank was 13.4 mpg. Ouch. The 14.4 was about 1/2 highway. The 13.4 was mostly around town. Tires are...

My son's Cal Ripkin youth baseball team one the very first game of their season last night, 6-5. My son played 4 innings at 2nd and 2 at 3rd. (this was after joining this new minor division team and being told he'd probably end up outfield as the new guy on the team!) They also ended in a tie...

I've read that the tranny is an adaptive transmission. Since I've bought this 04 used, would it be worthwile to disconnect the battery and have it relearn MY driving style? Any thoughts? TIA

So, how do I tell what gears I have?? Is there an easy way to tell?

What is behind the composite plastic bed of the ST? Is it empty between the "liner" and the outside fenders? If I drill into the plastic to mount something, am I only going to go through the plastic to a certain depth and then hit the outside of the truck??? :o

OK, I can't afford a full cat back system right now, but I might be able to afford having a replacement muffler installed. If I replace the stock muffler with an aftermarket, will I see any improvement in mileage and or HP? Also, if I do or can go this route, which muffler? Magnaflow? I...

Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. I am a IT consultant in Wa State and have have my "new" 04 Sport Trac for a couple weeks now. Here it is! It had less than 16,000 miles on it when I test drove it. The only thing wrong with it is some scratches the previous owner "touched...
