Well, after posting on here a few times about a high idle issue on my '05 Trac it appears I have finally resolved it! This past weekend I was under the hood doing usual oil level checks, etcc, and I noticed that the coolant overflow bottle fluid level was higher than normal. Odd I thought. Then...

Has anyone tried LED headlamp bulbs in their Gen. 1 'Trac? I am interested in trying them, using the regular reflector headlamp housings, but I am curious if anyone has tried them and found them beneficial. From what I can find in my research LED's are a better choice in a reflector style...

Does anyone have any pics of their Gen. 1 'Trac with the headlights on at night? Specifically, a shot sitting from the drivers seat. What I am looking for is the beam pattern on the road. I purchased some replacements for mine from rockauto (certified OEM equivalents) and replaced them the other...

So I am throwing this out there to see what other Gen. 1 'Trac owners are experiencing. In cold weather, ambient temp. below 40, where does your truck idle? Mine idles around 600. Above 45 degrees idle is 750. Is this normal?

Does anyone have instructions on replacing the cruise control cable on the '05 Sport Trac? Mine has cracked the plastic shield at the throttle body end of the cable so I have purchased a replacement cable. Any assistance appreciated.:)

I have developed an occasional high idle issue. Most of the time idle is 750 after warmed to operating temp, but every once in a while the ide is hanging around 900 in gear and around 1200 in park. Once I turn the truck off and back on it idles normal, though it does stumble a bit low for the...

So today I noticed something I think is a bit unusual on my '05 Trac with 99k miles. On the outside of the throttle body, next to the TPS, there is oil residue. The residue is basically on the TPS and around the lower bolt for the throttle body. Residue was damp, but not wet, and was definitely...

I have what seem an odd question about the Gen. 2 Adrenalin model. A local dealer has a 2009 model for sale currently that appears to be an Adrenalin. When you look at the original window sticker (see...

So after 8 years the bulbs in my cruise control switches in my '05 stopped working. I thought about replacing the entire switch but new ones run about $80 for the set on Ebay. I decided to dig a bit and find the bulbs that are used in the switches. I was able to find that Sylvania makes a...

For the past couple of years my '05 has had an issue with somewhat erratic idle. I have had a couple of threads that I started on here with several very helpful suggestions, but none ever totally resolved the idle issue. Currently my truck has 87k miles, but on a whim I decided to replace the...

After the last 4 or so fill-ups I am having probelms starting the truck. It cranks, but to get it to start I have to press the accelerator to get it started. For about 30 seconds or so it idles rough, then it corrects itself and runs fine until the next fill-up situatiuon. About 3 weeks ago...

Anyone run these Dueller H/L Allenzas on their 2 wheel drive truck? I have Firestone Destination LE 2's now but am thinking about swapping using the 30 day swap that Firestone/Bridgestone allows. I like the Destinations except they are a little rough riding when cold and it concerns me for...

OK, I have posted on here before about idle issues with my '05 ST. Now I can maybe help narrow it down and maybe one of you has had the same issue. The ambient temperature the past several mornings in my area has been in the 20's in the morning. I park in a garage at home, and though it is not...

Has anyone else had their autodim mirror stop functioning? I have an '05 ST and the Autodim mirror stopped working. The mirror was OE to the truck. I purchased another used mirror and it works some of the time, and some of the time does not. I have to wiggle the connector to get the replacement...

Has anyone used a branf of Nerf Bars called "N-Dure"? I found some on Ebay that seem to be a great deal and am interested in replacing my horrible looking Westin units (which are rusted and the black finish is peeling off). The Ebay price is about half of what I found these units for at other...

OK, i hate to admit it, but when switching out the pcv elbow I snapped the plastic piece that holds the cruise control cable on the throttle body. it looks like my only solution is to replace the throttle body. Any ideas? Thanks Greg

After reading quite a bit on this site I think I may be seeing early signs of the famous pcv elbow problem. I have ordered a Dayco Hose part from Autozone for pick-up tomorrow. I used the suggested part, part A70948. Has anyone experienced early symptoms of this elbow failing before seeing a...

I am having an odd issue with the fuel pump relay in my 2005 ST. I thought the relay was going bad so I recently replaced it, but still having the probelm. Basically what is happening is that on some attempts to start the truck the relay does not click on, so the fuel pump does not turn on until...

Looking for ideas. My '05 St has 73k miles. I am having issues on "cold start-up", even with the ambient temp at 109. BTW ambient temp does not matter on this issue I am having. I get teh same result whether it is 109 or 70 outside. Bascially when I first start the truck it is idling very low...

Saw this on the govdeal web site today while killing some time. Potential good deal for someone for an '03 Sport Trac. http://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?fa=Main.Item&itemid=1099&acctid=1783
