Glad to hear you are basically ok - are you thinking of picking up another sport trac or are going to move on?

Thanks - this is perfect and now I have the owner guide!

Hi All Thought I would ask because I think one of you probably knows off the top of your head Are the two cigarette lighters on the dash and down by the ash tray on the same circuit slash fuse? - the one near the ash tray has power but the other does not - wanting to know if I need to replace...

sounds about right - mine has started leaking from valve cover on passenger side - again - I had this fixed a couple of years ago at a local shop and they told ma the valve cover was cracked - been looking at getting new valve covers ever since

Curious are you still on the same motor? I am approaching 268 K on mine - seems like timing chain tensioners are failing - started thinking about an engine rebuild but need to find someone I can trust here in California

Just passed 267 K on my 2002 - runs awesome but has started the timing chain rattle on start up - looking to swap out the timing chain tensioners this week - but been following Dillard's suggestion of turning it over with the starter with the accelerator to the floor and that has seemed to...

Very cool story!

wow

sorry misread the original post - I asked because I am interested in the Maverick - if something happens to my 2002 I might try and swing for a Maverick

What don't they like about the hybrid Maverick?

Your truck looks great pulling that Casita? Any troubles? I have been thinking of purchasing a Casita at some point.

I agree - the strength of this forum as that people here sincerely try to help and focus on Sport Tracs - I hope we can keep it that way

Rebuilder recommended 85 so I am using an 80 - 90 weight from Lucas - seems to be working well - input from others?

That is what mine is 4.11 LS - 400 sounds reasonable if they provide some sort of guarantee - sounds like it has quite a few miles left - mine did not start whining until around 240 K

I had the same choice junk yard replace or rebuild - since I can't afford a new ranger or maverick and I really like my sport trac I decided to go with rebuild because all the junk yard options I saw here in Northern California were high mileage - mine was so worn that it had worn the driver's...

When my rear end started whining and then got progressively worse wound up having a local rear end shop rebuild it - pricey but now it is all new and runs great - worth it for me as we use this as long trip vehicle so need something as reliable as possible

Thanks - I have big plans for this year like painting the gray trim black and getting some aftermarket rims

This is the best photo I have right now but I don't know if I would call it custom - more special order As soon as I get a chance I will take some more pictures

Hi - I wound up ordering a topper a couple of years ago from ARE for my 2002 - was pricey but fits and looks good - $2200 installed - took roughly 6 months to get it

Awesome - thanks for sharing - I am still on original transmission but had the rear end rebuilt about 10000 miles ago - quite an improvement in ride quality - I had the trans inspected awhile back and the shop said they could see no problems - like you I do regular fluid changes -
