It passed inspection with flying colors! Only issue now is an uncommon 1-2 slip and I get the occasional 2-3 flare, plan on replacing valve body + gaskets soon hoping it fixes the issue

Bro I'm 16 and am decent at working on cars. I had a 1997 Buick Century that had the notorious intake manifold gasket leak. I had the whole top of the motor torn apart and everything was neatly organized especially the push rods. All I had to do was clean out the sludge then start putting her back together again, but I ran into too much money because I was 15 at the time so I ditched it. Im planning on fixing up my grandpas '84 F150 that's in my profile pic sooner than later. I'm saving money and I hope I can get it to pass inspection before next school year so I can drive it to school. And I know plenty of people my age who are also mechanically inclined, so your comment is invalid, sorry man

2001 Sport Trac here, 177,000 miles. I had 3 of the 5 problems. :-). The coolant leak was tough to fix, because it's so hard to reach. I tied fishing line to the sensor clips (mine had 2) so I wouldn't lose them as I fought the truck. Also just cut off the old plastic neck with recip saw...saved a lot of trouble there. The long start just happens on occasion, hasn't been too much of an issue, but your fuel pressure advice will hopefully help me locate my particular issue. One thing that I notice on mine, and many of the other Tracs I see on the road is the weird negative camber that develops on the front wheels. I've replaced every front end part...tie rods, ball joints, control arms, but it's still pretty pronounced. The factory upper control arm bolts don't allow for camber adjustment, and so I think the age of the truck just lends itself to that eventually happening, I guess. I am about to try the aftermarket camber adjustment cams that you can buy from Moog and other places. Hopefully it will solve the negative camber issue.

I owned 2 2002 Sport Tracs. None of these problem. I did have to replace the a/c at 200,000 miles. On the other one the timing chains gave out at 166,000, so I needed a new motor. But in my opinion they are both great trucks, probably the best vehicles I have owned in my 65 years.

Bought (stole) a 05 sport trac for $1500 with 135,000. Guy thought the water pump was bad. It was a faulty thermostat housing. $29.99 fix. Still driving at 198,000 but got some serious suspension/ rotor issues

I have a 2005. When I got it new the front end was out of alignment and wore out a tire. Two thermostat housings, a radiator, front - end both sides, rebuild rear end, replaced ac controls (whole thing), seat belt issues, under hood rat wire damage and front door locks. For the first time I had refrigerant added at year 18. It goes through batteries in 3 to 4 years. Strong engine and transmission.

Picked up a sport trac for my girl for a winter rat and as soon as we put it on the road noticed it was blowing coolant all over the tip of the engine but it’s so hidden you can see it. Looked up the issue and installed the part. Wasn’t bad to replace just slow since you have to pull the throttle body off and some of the bolts were crusty.

Oh they will I bought a explore with the 4.0l sohc and I had some oil leak fixed, they pulled the bottom oil pan off and they found plastic guides from the timing chain, replace the kit and the timing change snapped which leading to catastrophic failure for the engine. They pulled one out of a junkyard with supposedly 114,000 miles and now my truck needs an oil change and I’ve been hearing this light tapping on the passenger side. I hope I didn’t waste $3700 after three months of use.

The spedometer reads 0 when I'm going at any speed, infotainment system goes totally black and nothing works and the windows can't go up or down. A Ford dealership told me I needed a new instrument panel. Could it be as simple as a short circuit in the instrument panel? Also the infotainment is an aftermarket addition.

Like you, my 2002 Sport Trac has gone through the Front wheel bearings but I haven't had any other major issues. Mine currently is at 231,000 miles and is still going strong except for the fact that I live in Mass so the road salts are doing a number on the metal parts of the body. I will soon have to put her out to pasture and hope to upgrade to the new Maverick which to me is the Sport Trac reborn. I will miss the power rear glass of the Sport Trac as that option is not offered on the Maverick.

Ive only ever had the last two problems completely we had to replace the housing and ofc we replaced the ball joints and bearing s all that fun stuff, ive had other small problems that i have to just deal with or was really easy to fix also, i had my cruise controls messed up but that just need a new cruise control setup and some wiring, the other two are also electrical im sure but the biggest is our gas gauge is 7 time out of 10 in accurate and will go crazy backwards or some wrong spot but ive gotten over than and just reset and watch my odometer, another problem is the front passenger doors window, i think its just a my vehicle problem though it will go out of place and not want to go down much unless you put force onto it or go up and down a lot, one last thing that is semi working also is the auto adjustable side mirrors, they dont go left or right on either side but they go up and down

My stepdad has a 2001 Ford Sport Trac. It's been a good truck. The Explorer isn't as bad as people think. My stepdad bought his Explorer Sport Trac in 2015 with 150k miles and he's driven it to 214k miles so far. Replaced fuel pump, control arms, water pump, radiator, brake calipers and not much else to be honest. It has never let him down other than the fuel pump causing it to stall out. My stepdad has been towing a trailer with the truck daily since 2017. These engines are known for timing chain problems. The rear timing chain on his truck was making noise. Brand new rear tensioner and now it's quiet. Not sure how long it will be before the cassette finally breaks. I do know that the engine has to be pulled out to work on the rear chain, it will cost over $1500+ to fix.

Good video. Helped a lot but there was really no need for a lengthy explanation for packing and pre-loading wheel bearings because this vehicle uses sealed wheel hubs, not bearings. Hubs are not serviceable and when they fail you must replace them. Also, the splined shaft end nut that holds the hub on requires a pretty high torque value of 184 ft. pounds. You'll also need a three-jaw hub removal tool to get the hubs off. You can rent one from any auto parts store.

And there is a common problem of the turn signal wire coming loose in the steering column. I got the front end wheel bearing and ball joint kit from 1AAuto. Still going strong.

I have to keep my steering wheel tilted up all the time if I don't the plug comes loose, but that's how I drive regardless

@airbrushcrazy6238 3 жыл бұрын

@@rubenvazquez317 that's an easy fix. Mine did the same thing and I fix it. I believe there is a video for it. Just take off the top cover of the steering wheel and you can see the wires

Its not that difficult. ..if you're talking front wheel bearings. Four wheel drive is a sealed unit, so you just replace the hub bearing assy. I did mine

Please do a 2nd Gen (06-10) on this vehicle. I have a 2010 myself and would like to know if there are similar problems to this video or other problems to look for/prevent. Coolant leak is definitely one of them. I have replaced the Thermostat housing, water pump, and the radiator due to leaks.

On the dash of my 2005 Ford Sports Trac, the level for my battery keeps going up towards the “H” instead of staying in the middle. What does this mean?

Could be a voltage regulator in the alternator or loose connection/wires. The gages tends to have issues with age. Put a volt meter into the cigarette lighter when you drive and see if it is really the voltage. If the volt meter shows the same problem, have the alternator checked. I had a similar problem in a differt type of car that had been in a wreck and found a bare tail light wire in the trunk that was touching the frame, from the wreck. The overcurrent caused a plastic connector under the dash to burn and cause a bad connection and a lot of heat. The bad connection caused the voltage in the system to rise appearing as a high voltage gage reading. Some tape, wire and solder solved the problem and the voltage returned to normal. The problem would only occured if I put something in the trunk that touched the wire on the right fender and touched the bare wire against the frame and I turned the headlights on.

I have a problem with mine dying when put into reverse. If left in reverse the idle bogs down and dies. If you push the gas it dies. No problems in forward. Has no other issues. Any input would help. I have replaced the idle air control valve but no change.

@dadsvespa 3 жыл бұрын

Hmm..thats a strange one. It could be one of the piston seals on the reverse band assy. ? I'd take it in to a good tranny shop and have it tested. They can hook up some pressure gauges and test the system.
