*** SOLD** I have a 2005 Sport Trac XLT with failed timing chains with many usable parts for sale. Rotors and bearings done in the past year, Have one set of u-joints still in the box. New alternator and belt tensioner. All body panels are good with only a tiny bit of surface rust starting. Bed...

Meh. Been here before.

Well, got word from the shop. Both chains are shot. They estimated $5000 to repair. Guess I was dreaming. Sooo, I'll be parting this out. I'll list it in the appropriate forum. Damn. Kinda hoped to not have to buy another vehicle.

Agree about OEM parts with internal components. And yeah, stealership prices. This is a dealer I'm using but the service manager is a neighbour and up here in BF nowhere folks tend to watch out fer each other. Anyhow, if it's more than $2000 I'll have a Sport Trac fer sale...

SWS, thanks but yeah....haven't done the job but not afraid of much at my age. Just don't have a garage here in the bush....yet. Local shop (only one for 60km) is pretty good. I figure up to $500 fer parts and about ten hours labour so another $1500 or so. Not sure where yer gettin $5000?

About a week ago I got a real nasty rapping noise from the engine. Really hard to pin point the location so figure it wasn't valve train and not loud enough fer a rod. Managed to limp it to a local garage where a quick inspection seems to have confirmed my suspicions. Has anyone had to do this...

Don't know about a special socket but do know my 05 Trac was a bear to do plugs. The reach around on the drinker's side was brutal.

I have an 05, RWD and my speedo is out by about 10kmph. If I want accuracy I just use my phone. Might save you some time and money to just do that. Just a thought from a lazy old guy.

Hey, I saw a few posts for this causing a 4 2 sequence code with the dash light on. Mine failed (05 XLT) and the dealer wanted over $100. Pulled one out of an F150 and it plugged right in. $5 at a you-pull boneyard.

Yeah....if ya squint, it's mint. 😆

I had a similar issue after replacing the hubs. The bearing wasn't fully seated. Yer thought about over greasing could do it. Anyhow, reseated the bearing and was fine.

Curtis, thanks. I really only got the Sport Trac cause I needed a vehicle quick. I got halfway lucky. It's not been abused but was left sitting for some time. Lots of parts replaced in two years but for a small truck it's pretty stout. Considering it's 19 years old, it does amazing work. In 3...

Done a fair bit of work on her the past 2 years but the body is great.
