Tried private messaging because he hasn't visited here since July 2022. Long time member since 2004 that has graciously helped many. Very sorry to share this, but thought you would like to know. https://sporttrac.org/members/eddies04.61136/...

Well, almost bulletproof. LOL Custom end links using parts from various sources over ten years ago. No failures since. Copied and pasted from EF. https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/threads/sway-bar-links.325617/post-2791778 Pictures using Energy Suspension 9.8103 or Prothane 19426...

For those that missed this a while back. Projects were submitted on Todd Z's former site. Most projects are still there, but not all. https://web.archive.org/web/20160620073537fw_/http://www.mysporttrac.com/shared/projects.asp?PageHeader=Member%20Projects&PageTitle=The%20Sport%20Trac%20Web%20Site

Posted this last year on EF. Many have replaced their lower ball joints with the ever so popular Moog K8695T "Problem Solver" ball joints. Moog has never offered rubber dust boots separately, and there is no direct aftermarket replacement. Providing they are properly greased, Moog ball joints...

Reviving a copied and pasted thread from EF on January 27, 2017 Novice question. Must be a reason an aftermarket manufacturer hasn't made them. "If" the engine wasn't destroyed when the plastic tensioner guide(s) failed, seems like it would be a very lucrative business for those choosing to...

More than ten years and dry rot beginning to show it was time for new shoes. My previous Michelin Latitude Tour model was discontinued so I needed to do some research for replacements. When I bought the Latitude Tours in 2010, I was also considering the LTX M/S2 that was very highly regarded...

Admin, would it be possible to "sticky" the first two links below in the projects and general sub forums? (Reported 12/20) #1 ---> https://web.archive.org/web/20160620073334fw_/http://www.mysporttrac.com/shared/projects.asp?PageHeader=Member Projects&PageTitle=The Sport Trac Web Site #2 --->...

Replaced the rear tensioner at 75,000 miles as a preventative measure. Factory install did not have a crush washer so I installed an OE replacement tensioner without one. Factory torque spec for both tensioners is 32 foot pounds using new crush washers or 49 ft/lbs. if reusing. Started at 40...

This one's baffled me. Probably coincidence, but started right after replacing my passenger side valve cover gasket. All timing chain components ruled out. Rattle only occurs at idle speed in park or in gear. Probed EVERYTHING on engine top side with a stethoscope with no similar noise. Had the...

Excuse my camera "work", I needed three hands. Rattle is intermittent and only happens at idle speed when the engine is at operating temperature. NEVER rattles at start up, or at the known 2500-3000 RPM range under load indicating timing chain guide issues. New rear hydraulic tensioner has been...

Sent this to Eddie yesterday. Swear I watched this over and over and was ROFL every time. Enjoy!

Since there is no custom fit TAILGATE mat available. Really like the thickness and quality of the Ford mat, and would like to cut a universal tailgate or bed mat that matches the raised bed mat channels if possible. IIRC, someone posted the OEM mat was made by Westin?

IMO, one of the best features from the old MyST site, is that almost every member listed vehicle details. Doesn't have to be much, just basics such as year, engine, and drive type. Realize "some" members have vehicle info in their profile page, but having specs under the members name makes it...

Reason for the bottom EF link is because I am unable to post pics. Discontinued seals from Todd Z's "Reducing Wind Noise" Project: http://www.mysporttrac.com/mysporttrac/projects/WindNoise/WindNoise.htm

Posted on EF 1/27/17. Link below. Must be a reason an aftermarket manufacturer hasn't made them. "If" the engine wasn't destroyed when the plastic tensioner guide(s) failed, seems like it would be a very lucrative business for those choosing to rebuild rather than replace their engine.

Just passing this on. (5R55E RWD use 4WD filter)
