I have a set of aftermarket cross bars and the clamps that will fit on the Trac's factory roof rails (Gen 1 for sure, not sure about Gen 2). They have 1" square aluminum bars and all 4 clamps have plastic covers that "lock" into place. I hauled a kayak on them easily. $50 plus...

A big thanks to all on this forum for all your help and enjoyment while I owned the Trac. Just time for a change. I've driven gas-guzzeler trucks since 1992 and decided it was time to remedy that...so... I bought a 2014 Ford (of course) Fusion Hybrid. Got the SE loaded up, they didn't...

2003 XLT Premium... My right side cruise control button housing is loose. When I press Resume/Set/Coast, the whole plastic housing pushes back about 1/4 inch. It just started last week. Any way to tighten it? I can feel a kind of access cover directly behind the housing, but have...

Drove in a gigantic rain storm last night, like a 4" per hour downpour. The road was about 6" deep and traffic was very heavy and water was splashing well over the hood. The Trac did well. I got home and parked. This morning, it wouldn't stay running at idle, so I held the gas pedal...

I am (and have been) running Torries 87 towing tune in my 03 Trac. I had the same tune on a 03 Mazda Tribute that I liked so much, when I bought the Trac I had Torrie send me one for the Trac. It has been on my Trac for the entire time I have owned it. North Carolina has an emissions...

How dare they mess with my money like that...I say we OCCUPY GREECE until they pay off all their debts and my 40ik goes back up to where it was. I volunteer to occupy a spot on the beach along the Medeterranian!

I bought a OBD2 bluetooth signal sending unit and have a software called HOBDrive on my IPAQ. I have been keeping track of MPG with it for the past 3 tanks of gasoline. My commute is 8 3/4 miles one way, the roads vary from 45 mph 2 lane to a short stretch of 4 lane 55 mph to stop and go...

Free to a good home. I got transferred to a different city and will be moving. I am in the process of cleaning up my garage and have my old factory single CD stereo unit complete with 4 factory speakers. Worked fine when removed last summer. I will be posting other stuff as I...

Finally have the Trac back. Two full weeks at the transmission shop. It seems fine, shifts are nice and firm again. Here is the list from the invoice: Torque Converter $310.00 Master Kit $392.98 Filter $24.88 Fluid $52.16 Front Band $36.44 Intermediate band $36.44 OD...

The total cost to repair my transmission is $2429.19. The repair shop says it will be just like the day it was made (better, I hope). The extended warranty I got will not pay for sensors or the EPC or some other parts, only "power-train" parts, and subtracting my deductible they authorized...

shit the bed. Dealer wants $2500 to replace it. Not sure what to do now. It has not given me a minutes trouble until I couldn't get over 35 on the way home from work yesterday. No codes, no lights. Seemed odd to me, but the dealer said his machine read a bad tranny code. Need...

Had a chunk of dried mud come off a flatbed this afternoon hit the front of my Trac. Broke the drivers side turn signal lens. Any ideas on how much that will cost me?

Just got back from a 500 mile all interstate trip. I haven't driven at speed for lots of miles in nearly a year. I noticed a vague, almost boat-like feel to the Trac on the highway. I suspect that the front suspension or steering gear is going bad. What are the parts that I should be...

Anyone have insight on a set of cross bars for a 03 Trac? I saw this number online "Ford Explorer Cross Bars (2002-2004) 4L2Z-7855106-AAA" and wonder if it is correct for my Trac. I didn't see any for sale in the Swap and Sell area, but if anyone has a set they would like to sell, let...

Just got back from a 1440 mile trip with my 03 Trac. I had a kayak in the bed and enough gear on board for 6 days in the woods, including large quantities of liquids (good thing alcohol is light). The trip was from the flatlands of South Carolina to the mountains of Pennsylvania, so...

Ever heard of it? My local Midas dealer sells them, they have one cut in half next to a Flowmaster and they look identical inside. Dealer claims that they are Flowmaster made without the name stamped into them! $79 for a single in single out and $119 for a single in dual out.

I noticed yesterday that there was very cold air coming out of my vents when my selector switch was in Head/Feet vent position. I opened the hood and quickly found a vacuum hose was off, but that doesn't have anything to do with this problem. When I have the selector in OFF, nothing...

Went back home to Pittsburgh last week. 1237 total miles, 573 up, 91 in the city and 573 back Used a total of 62.5 gallons at an average of $2.30 per gallon. Thats a 19.8 average MPG at +5 mph over the speed limit most of the time. Went to the Steeler game while I was there...

No other symptoms, driving around 45 mph or slower, no slipping that I could feel, had only been driving about 10 minutes. I was able to push the O/D off button and it worked. I pulled into my driveway and turned it off. Turned it back on and the light was not flashing. How long...

Finished a 750 mile vacation trip. 3 large adults and luggage inside the 2WD ST. About 600 miles was interstate or 2-lane highways. I keep at +5 mph usually, although on 70 mph highways, I set the cruise at 73-74. I still got 19 - 20 mpg!!!! Not bad for all that weight and...
