It's a personal preference. FOR ME, my experience has always been that cheap parts ended up not being cheap. Today, it's hit and miss when it comes to suspension parts, but Monroe and MOOG have never done me wrong. Others will disagree, and obviously, there are different levels of quality...

1. What do you mean it feels like it's bottoming out? Is it only the backend that feels this way, or do you feel like the front end is "bottoming out" as well? 2. Has the truck's suspension been overhauled? What's its history? 3. When you visually inspect all the suspension components, is there...

I don't know anything about the ones offered on eBay, except they're relatively cheap, $26. From the pictures, it looks like the turn signals have reflective paint on them, and apparently, they do come with colored bulbs. But other than that ...I got nothing. (I think I understand what you...

I can't speak to the quality, but I found these on eBay...

I like those. Hoping someone posts a lead.

No. Off the top of my head, here is what I've replaced or rebuilt over the years. Instrument cluster The suspension (you can go cheap here, but don't. Use quality parts, or you may find yourself doing it all over again) body bushings speed sensor at the differential Brake rotors Compressor...

At this point, we're in the cull. The only STs that will be here in 2030 are those owned by enthusiasts. I have a 1989 Mercedes Benz 560SL and a 1995 E36 BMW (that I also bought new and my youngest daughter will be driving next year) that are in the same boat. The ONLY examples of these cars...

I've had to replace exactly one thermostat housing over the last 17 years. My only regret is I didn't replace it with the aftermarket aluminum housing. But I needed it fast at the time, so I went OEM plastic which was gettable the same day it cracked on me. When I rebuild the engine, I'll...

The reason for the low estimate on mine is the mileage. I would think over 300k miles would scare most people away from even looking at it if I offered it for sale at what it's worth to me. I think the average service life on the 4.0L SOHC is around 250k miles. Or, at least I think I...

It's okay. Believe me, I wish that all the harnesses were still supported. But they're not. For those of us with 1st gens, we'll have to make our own. Soon the 2nd gens will run out of inventory as well, and they'll be in the same boat. But the good news is while it's convenient to buy...

That is the negative to the ground and battery and F1 ( fuse box in the engine bay)

That's not the harness he's looking for. Ford no longer supports any of the wiring harnesses for 1st gens, and Ford no longer supports the 2nd gens, but there is still inventory remaining for those.

It's kind of a state of mind. Is the ST a million-mile truck? ...sure it is. You'll just have to do stuff to it along the way. Right now, my truck on the open market is worth maybe a couple of thousand dollars to a stranger. But I know this truck. Eventually, something will require me to...

wrong thread

You're going to have to make it yourself (not hard) or go to the junkyard. Ford no longer has the part.

I'll add a picture, but it's nothing special; it's a stock 2004 oxford white XLT, right down to the radio; I've modified nothing. I've owned it since new; its build date is January of '04. I don't know what to say, except it has been a dependable truck. Well, except for the instrument...

Do you have or have access to an impact wrench? If not, this might be a good excuse to buy one. I can't imagine life without my power tools. 😀 My tools reduce my cost of ownership to fuel, parts, fluids, fuel and saves my personal time. If it saves you one trip to a professional mechanic...

Have you inspected the brakes? Are the caliper pins moving freely?

Mine has some oil weeping from the same place. If it's oil and it's not coming from the valve covers, lower or upper oil pan, it's coming from the rear main seal. In my case, it's not even enough weeping enough to make it to the floor of the garage or driveway, and certainly not enough to...
