Jesus,5/5 problems spent my last tax return to get kids around 😰😰😰😰
6.battery 7.powering steering ,8. Can't charge phone in car charger battery will die
I like this kid thx
This guy is the best. None of their workers gives as detailed and clear explanations as this guy. He deserves a raise
Maybe even a new verricle.
I bought a 03 Sport Trac for my son 7 years ago. He crashed it last week with about 220,000 miles. That little piece of crap truck was one of the most reliable vehicles I’ve ever owned.
Yikes! Hope your son is ok! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-Now
@@1AAuto crumble zones and air bag did their jobs. Hit a pole at about 30mph and just got a few stitches.
Sons have a way of finding the end of life on vehicles. Mine wrecked my 97 Ranger at 267,000 miles. That truck owed me nothing! Neither does the kid, still love him. :) Good video. I'm goig down to buy a 2002 with 140,000 on it.
@@dalemulder3549 as a son who has totaled three rigs in wrecks and about twelve others from mechanical issues I couldn’t resolve, I can confirm your statement. If it’s not at the bottom of a cliff it wasn’t one of mine
I have an 02 currently and only got 148k on the clock but I hope to keep it a long time. No lean codes since I replaced the pcv and iac valve after it began throwing p1506 about a month ago. 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
You guy’s should hire this guy just for sound effects alone!! 🔥🔥
I love this channel ! The younger generation will really need help from you guys! They have no idea how lucky they are to have all this INSTANT information! Continue the great work and will always try to support / purchase parts from you guys!
Thank you so much!

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
Lol it’s actually the younger generation that knows all about RUclips & the internet. It’s the older generation that hardly knows about the wealth of information on RUclips. My parents are clueless about RUclips. 🤦🏻
I’m a master at cars i can tell you anything
I have a 2001! The only problem I have is the hard start, but that's mainly in the winter. Great truck, personally! It has lasted forever.
I've had my 01 sport trac for over 10 years, we keep up on her maintenance, and she has been the most loyal, dependable, tough little vechicle I have ever owned, I will not trade her for the world.
This guy is great. Really knows his stuff. I'm grateful.
He does a real good job of covering the issues quickly. Easy to understand!
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.
It’s on my explorer as well I just drive it
I have a 2001. Purchased new and never had any of these problems. Mobil 1 Synthetic from first oil change every 3000 to 5000 miles. I now have 206000+ miles and the exhaust is still white glove clean. This is the best vehicle that as t I have ever owned.
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.
Where did you find your replacement motor? My '02's timing chain(s) went as well - no compression, no warning either. 204K
Junk yard is your best friend
Love this mechanic's short and to the point explanations, he even speaks with sound effects. lol
Very informative video. Just snagged an 05 today. Thank you for the heads up just in case!
Glad it helped!
I have an 05 i picked up a few years ago. Its been amazing even after doing a suspension lift and putting some bigger tires on it
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
Great video! I just had my bearings re-packed during the alignment and ball joint appointment.
Replaced the wheel bearings with SKF, having the long start issue so this video was helpful with that. You forgot the body to frame mount bushings that are rotted out at this point on every sport trac, ranger and explorer ever manufactured.
Thanks! Learned a Lot! Appreciate 1A Auto..
Glad it helped!
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.
2001 First production run Sport Trac here. Only had issues 3 and 4. have replaced my thermostat housing 3 times. 240,000 miles and kicking like a wild mule though.
I got a 2004 same color and had 2 coolant leaks... Engine runs great 214k miles
How do I turn on the 2 by 4 in the explorer
Thanks for your input on this type vehicle. Just got one. Nice condition 👏👌. Not to bad of a purchase.
Love my sport trac despite all the quirks! Fav part of the video was the "boop boop boop boop" sound as he's explaining the gauge going down LOL
Same!
I have one!
Love this guy’s sound effects!! Lol
@@richmighty1752 I have a budget and im gonna buy my first one lol
What quirks do you mean? Lol
This guy was right on all them problems they all happen to my 2003 ford sport trac.
I own a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, for some time I noticed the rpm was dropping to 500 rpm the mechanic suggested cleaning the throttle, it worked great but now maybe too great, the rpm runs to high ( 1000+) after warming sometimes it drops to 800-900 but then back up to 1000 . Checked for air leaks but all checked out ok. Thanks for the vid.
Sounds like it may be the Idle Air Control Solenoid being faulty.
Thank you for the video👍 Greetings from Belgium!
+jbebenisterie jbebenisterie Thanks for checking us out!
Thank you so much that sensor was the problem. I have had all kinds of mechanics computer check my rig an my son watched video an had a guy com down an it worked he switched it an its awesome I loves my truck
Bought my 2002 brand new. I have 264k on it.I replaced the thermostat housing @ 140k. The body mounts @ around 150k (I seen on line that this is a common problem) and my transmission was rebuilt at 220k
Impressive! Thanks for sharing! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-Now

Thanks so much!
Your the best ❤ how you explain so clearly don't have to fix things thanks a lot made my day
You guys are awesome 👏🏻 thank you

Love the sound effects that comes w/ the explanation. 😁😂
Tengo una Explorer trak 2001 hace 16 años y nunca me a fallado pienso conservarla mucho tiempo mas
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.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks, the SFX are priceless
I like these truck/SUV explorers, they are useful in many ways.
I have a 2004 and I just got 150,000 miles a week ago
Great! Thank you for checking out the video. If you need auto parts go to: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-Now
How do I turn on the 2 by 4 in that explorer
Well that explains a lot. The speedometer and rpm gauge don't work in the 2004 sport trac we bought. And yes, things turn on and off without the key being in as well. I thought the radio had been wired wrong or something.
Thank you. This was really helpful
I have a 2004 Sporttrac. None of these problems, very reliable truck after 250k. Still driving it
this guys car makes every sound but car sounds 😂 loved your sound effects by the way
Awesome video. Subscribed. Im thinking of buying one of these trucks friday. 56,000 miles for 5,000. In like new condition. It's a 2002 one owner.
+JAS Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
😂 and my dumbass bought a 2006 f150 201k for 5500. After putting 1500 into it I almost have a 7k truck...
WANNA TRADE?
How did it go?
I have a 2001 with 260K + miles. These trucks last a loooooong time 😂
@@We3Boys have another drink. There junk
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 mom has an 05. It has the first problem you talked about, or at least I think so. Same symptoms, but also every couple of days she has to jump it to get it started. After a good rain (damp weather) it also needs a jump. Is that because of the cluster draining the battery when the truck is off??
How i wish there's anyone like you guys here in the Philippines i badly need a help with my Ford explorer 01😭
Great video
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it
I have "Ghosts in the Machine"of my 2002. Every time I check the codes & clear it out, the following week a new code appears, check engine lite comes on. Never the same code.
My mechanic said I burned my drive and reverse clutches on my 2004 sport trac. But it moves when I put it low gear. Please what do I do. Would love to see your response. Thanks
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
@@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
Great to hear! Thank you for checking out the video. If you need auto parts go to: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-Now
I own a 2004 sport trac. the only problem I had was a front wheel bearing. 4x4 of course is a sealed bearing. Found a great American replacement. It came with the ABS sensor too. beware the cheap china bearings.
Thank you for checking out the video. If you need auto parts go to: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-Now
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.
2003 xlt with 222,000 miles. Relay switch went out, complete front suspension done over, front and rear brakes and rotors, valve cover headcasket replaced. Other than that it's a good tough truck for a Ford!!
Thanks for sharing! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-Now
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.
Few years ago I was thinking to get one of them but bought Nissan Xterra 5 speed. No regrets. Thanks guys.
+PistonShack Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
The thermostat And the long start happened to me But what I did not hear you talk about and I've heard a lot about is the timing chain guides and tensioners going bad
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.
😂 My 2004 has had every one of these problems. I have a fairly loud sound system and I heard bass in the middle of the night. I was like "what the hell?".
Thought someone was in my truck.
The solder joint broke inside the cluster and was making my radio come on randomly with the truck off.
But yeah literally every one of these problems.
Currently having issues with the 5r55e transmission. 😢
On the upside everything worked great after each fix and hasn't been a bad truck.
Once I'm done replacing everything it will be a new truck anyway.😅
Fyi check your body mount bushings. Especially if you're having weird popping sounds when stopping.
Don't want your cab flying off.
I used to own one of these a 02 it was great it was black 4 door i used it as my work truck it started having problems at 200k miles
I have a 02 sport trac 199,998 she's ready to hit 200 thousand and just flushed my trans it drives smooth still use 10/40 quaker state high mileage and have no issue's. Never had any of these probs but i take care of my vehicles.
Its always great to hear about folks taking top notch care of their vehicles! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-Now
Good work
+essam ali Thanks for the feedback!
So I have a 2002 ford explorer sport trac and its leaking radiator coolant. I found where its coming from; its coming from cracks that have shown up on the right side of the radiator. I had no coolant left in the reservoir tank, so I refilled it for now, and I was told that the whole radiator needs replacement. So my question is where can I find an exact replacement?
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.
+Ricardo The PC Gamer Thanks for the feedback!
Buying a 04 with 150k miles for $2000 thanks for the heads up of things that could go wrong
If you're buying an 04 with that low milage be sure to have a mechanic with a scanner to make sure the miles haven't been altered. Happens all the time especially nowadays anyone can purchase a $100 handheld computer that rolls back the miles
I just bought a 03 Ford sport Trac and these people I believe lied to me they told me I could have a 2005 come get it that day it needs a transmission I know that but the inside is clean as a pain the body is not beat up it's and it showed to have 117,000 mi on it but when they first advertising it had 110,000, I've got a used transmission out of another one that I know is good transmission that we're going to put it in it, when I first drove the truck the transmission shifted out perfect except no I thought about it and thought about it and I finally decided to go get it she said if you come get it now we'll let you have 2,000 so I went and got it and I asked her I said will it make it back to where I live and I got to go with the big mountain he says yeah you may have to shift it down a couple of years and I thought what's that mean but anyway long story short got the truck drove it home and the OD light came on the dash and then the transmission went crazy I mean absolutely crazy every forward gear but no neutral no reverse andbut I want to drive it home I thought I was going to let off at to get the thing to change into a second and then it didn't I let off to let it change it didn't change or give it a little more gas then it went to run like somebody had a whole transmission trying to jerk it out from under security me to death and I finally made it home OD light is still on it, I had a 98 Ford contour brought brand new 2.5 this little car will fly and the OD light started coming on on the shifter and the dash and it went to acting crazy anyway long story short my mechanic fixed it for $1,400 he put a used transmission and it
Hey, I have one customer, with an 2005, hes been thru multiple transfer cases, along the years, and I just put one in recent and is bad again!
Any suggestions for me?
It would greatly appreciated thanks
Great vid, we have a 01 rwd sport trac with 242k mi on the odometer and the last thing that could possibly go is the rear timing chain, do you think you could make a vid on this?
Timing chain issues were common on the the gen 1. The guides had plastic that over time would wear down and break OR the tensioners wore out making it sound like a old farm tractor.
Great infobA1
1:43, 3:28, 8:16, and 8:22. Awesome. New sub lol
Thanks for the sub!
I have a 2004 Sport Trac XLT with 126,500 miles on it and there's an electrical issue. I'll be driving the car when the instrument panel, infotainment, and windows stop working. 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.
I have a 2002 ford sport Trac with 4wd. I took it on a road trip and when I pulled off the interstate it jumped into 4wd. I backediy up a few feet and it went back to 2wd. No lites came indicating 4wd. It's done it twice since the road trip. What could cause this?
do you repair or can recommend a shop to fix my instrument cluster on my 2004 sport trac?
Do they make advances longer lasting parts ? For these problems
Thank you this was very helpful 👏👍
Glad it was helpful!
You missed the top number 1 issue, timing chain cassettes and tensioners.
Exactly
And leaking valve cover gasket
Do you guys have a video on how to replace the bearings on a sport trac.... I have a 2003 sport trac that have the bearing symptoms
+Juan Hinojosa We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
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
I'm thinking of buying a 2005 sport trac like the one you've just shone my question is dose this year (2005) have problems with the timing chain
or is that just the earlier models??
Only if you never change your oil or run anything thicker than 5w30
my problem is a 2002 explorer sport trac 4X4 will not have any air come out of the front vents, it will flow up the the defroster and low for feet heat but nothing forward
any quick suggestions
I have a high beam issue..changed arm but still no high beam check bulbs not burned any suggestion please
I have a 2001 Ford Explore sport when you put it in drive it stalls and wont move but when you put it in reverse and neutral it will run I need some help with but when when it sits up not driven for a few day it drives like nothing ever happened
have a 2003 sport trac great truck, have a vaccum leak i cant locate . replaced a lot of parts trying to find it.
My cluster had a break in the solder on the panel. I have a sound system and I started hearing bass at 3am. Did it for a couple weeks. After the truck was off for a little while everything would just come on randomly.
That's a crazy problem. Obviously an electrical issue. Thank you for checking out the video. If you need auto parts go to: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-Now
I bought a 2001 sport trac and a little inch and a quarter fuel line right off of the fuel pump keeps rupturing and splitting what could be causing this
Two Sport Tracs and three thermostat housings. They seem to crack. Never had that issue with other vehicles. Also been through a few wheel bearings. Both trucks also have a clicking sound like loose metal in the front left. Never found the problem. Now the OD Off light flashes but still drives fine.
Did you figure out the "OD flashing" mine does it but still drives
@@jamestrads497 Nothing. It drives fine but that damn flashing drives me crazy.
@@tragene2250 same here. I've been dealing with it for the last 4 years .
I thought the sport trac wheel bearings were complete sealed units? Also, surprised that the timing chain issue on the early sohc 4.0 didn’t make the list....
They are sealed and not adjustible. At least the ones on the 4x4.

are the suspension kits for the ranger & the sport trac the same?? i have an 01 4x4 sport trac with a 3 inch body lift, i want a 4 inch suspension lift kit but i can’t find anything for the sport trac.

Nobody I know that has a 2nd gen Explorer (not Sport Trac) has that problem with the coolant housing leak. But they do have plastic housings. Wonder what was changed for the 3rd gen.
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.
thanks!
Does these issues include 98 explorer as well.
4 of the 5 happened to me 😂
Wow! Hopefully this video was helpful. If you need parts, please visit: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-Now
That's how I know this guy's legit. 1st thing on his list is the dash cluster 😂 the exact problem I'm having.
@ Fuzz Zattoni...the best solution is to get a Toyota Tacoma.
American cars wheel bearings only seem to last half of what the japanese cars last. Typical
@@SKILLS2KILLS_QC the 02 and 03 exploers were much worse than the later years. Our 02 gobbled 4 trannys, our 2004 has never been replaced and she is at 170k miles
Nice video thank you.
However what can cause the temp gauge not to work? It was just working fine yesterday. Tks in advance
Do you have a list for 2nd gens. I recently came into a 2007 limited V8 4x4 with under 80k.
Yeah, he left out the 2nd gens! Got one myself.
This is right on. FYI - The next problem will probably be the timing chain guides. LOL!
The only problem I've had with my sports Trac is the sleep timer in the radio. Every morning the battery would be dead. So right now I just have the fuse pulled to the radio
My grandpa has an 01. I took it around backroads once, drifting around turns and stuff. It would've been better if I would've found it its in OD by default and you have to push the button to take it off OD. Wish I wouldve known that cuz these have plastic (I think) beds which means theres basically no weight over the rear end lmao and could've spun the tires even easier if I had the better gearing from Drive instead of OD cuz even with the pedal to the floor it doesn't want to downshift when it's in OD. It will but it takes a few seconds, but it was still fun, fishtailing is always a blast :)
I own 2002 sport trac, the truck flies.It has162k mi,is it worth replacing body bushings/ball Joints/S- pins /shocks/A -frame and control arms bushings, Radiator is new, manifold heating thermostat element is new,Fuel pump is new, starter is new
