Successful today. The trick was to remove the bolt that attaches the outboard window guide to the inside door frame. Then, I could move the window guide and I could see the yellow tab on the clip. Using a small screwdriver, I pulled the tab towards me, rotated the clip to my right, and then...

I have over 230k on my 2001 ST. Is there a 200k mile club?

Thanks. I will try again tomorrow with a smaller screwdriver and consider unbolting the window track. I tried a small, 1/8" wide flat screwedriver without unbolting the window track, but I didn't seem to be able to get the srewdriver between the platic clip and the connecting rod. I was...

How does one remove or disconnet the yellow clip that holds the connecting rod from the exterior door handle to the door latch? After 2 hours of tugging, pushing, trying to rotate, without destroying the piece, I have been unsuccesful. THe repair manual says "2. Disconnect the door latch...

I have an 01 ST with 4:10 rear end and it came with 255/70/16's. Tire Rack.com will provide you optional tire sizes in various diameters.

Thanks for the input. I'm moving to Calgary or somewhere in that metro area. I hope to spend my free time & weekends camping & fishing far away from town. Hockey - well I know the Flames well they went up in Flames! I really know nothing about, or rather a-bute, hockey, eh. My new...

I am moving to Alberta and may need to formally import my 2001 ST into Canada from the U.S. Does anyone know if Canada considers the ST a truck or a Multi-purpose vehicle? There are different regulations for trucks versus SUV's. Are there any punitive gas-guzzler, carbon, or other...

I have had the same problem with my 2001 ST. I seem to have more problems with the right front tire. It always seems to pass alignment but the tire wears nonetheless.

We've come a long way in our public schools from freedom OF religeon to freedom FROM religeon The following are excerpts from the 1787 Northwest Ordinance which established the requirements for new "states" to become part of the United States. Be it ordained by the United States in Congress...

Has anyone used either of these scan tools? The Actron is a hand-held; the AutoEnginuity is a PC based device.

I had a similar problem on our 1998 Ford Windstar with same diagnostics codes except I had a P1538 instead of the P0300. The P1538 = Intake Manifold Runner Control stuck open. After I found, yes, a cracked elbow in a vacuum hose, I spent 3 hours driving aroud before I found a 3/8"...

I don't own Wet Okoles. I own some cheap covers that look like they are made from reclaimed polyester corduroy paints. I bought the Sport Trac because I goose hunt & wadefish on the U.S. Gulf Coast. So I get back into the ST wet and muddy when the ambient temperatures are 40°F and when the...

Ouch! I resemble that remark.

Signs of the times. Distributed out of Minnesota, huh. From their website - "IQ Accessories, Inc. is a Minneapolis, Minnesota based company. Its primary focus is to provide high quality products to the masses. Our main markets pertain to the, convenience, drug, and food industry. "...

I have a Haynes and I have a Ford factory Service manual on CD. The Haynes is a bit simplistic but has photos; the Ford manual has only line-art stick figures but has more detailed instructions. IMO, the deatiled instructions are not worth that much if I cant locate part no. 5F250 or I...
