What are the pros and cons of converting a 2002 2wd Sport Trac? I have a 2002 Sport Trac that I want to convert to 4wd I have read some things on a regular Explorer w/manual tranny but nothing on a Sport Tracs w/automatic tranny. Is this possible? I know that the trucks are very similar but I know that similar does not necessarily mean the same. If so what do I need for parts?

Whenever I wash my 02 Express there is a black residue that runs off the side and rear door window gaskets. I can spend the entire time alotted at the car wash spraying it clean, but when i stop, the water running off the gasket leaves annoying black streaks down the side of the van. I live in Michigan and suspect that the road salt has something to do with the problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated,
