I've never had a problem with having a spacer. I've had warranty on O2, egr and coils....they never said a thing about it. Some dealers are better about aftermarket parts than others. They have to prove a certain thing caused something to go bad. Fuel, plugs.... alot of different things can cause O2 to go bad....even age.

I figured it was the O2 cause I pulled over to check my engine and it was running fine, then ford charged me $30 for doing a computer test for either a faulty 02 or a Lazy O2 I forgot what the reciept said.

well what ever they did the Check engine light is off now. I just dont truck other people who I dont know to work on my truck, I mean my dad did have a 01 Sport Trac but he had to get ride of it cause on the 30,000 mile check up they messed up the computer and the truck wouldnt run right, they even gave him almost like a flight recorder and they still couldnt fix it. He just gave up and got a 03 Ram 1500 wit the HEMI.

thats what my dad has. my step mom gets pissed when he tears out of the drive way to show off. their driveway leading out to the street is just full of black marks... you should have taken the sporttrac back and told them to fix it b/c they messed it up
