Hi Everybody, Unfortunately, I lost reverse today when getting to work. Like other posts I've read, nothing made me think something was wrong until I got to work and always back the ST in. Pulled up next to the spot, put it in reverse, thought I heard a "clunk" and then nothing, engine...

Hi All, I have a really annoying problem. Last night I got home from work and my door would not open from the inside. So, I rolled down the window and tried to open from the outside.... wouldn't work. No matter what I try, I cannot get the door open. I believe it is the latch itself...

2001, Automatic Transmission, about 236,000 miles (all original) Once or twice in the past few weeks, I have gotten home to my driveway where I back in. I put it in park and as I let off the brake it catches gear but then seems to skip a bit and lurch forward. (My driveway is a very...

Hi All, Well, I am finally getting to the long list of things to do on the Sport Trac. Today was the water pump and fan clutch. So far things are ok, drove it around the block and no overheating problems. Haven't seen any leaks yet either. (all the wet stuff looks like it was from the...

Hey All, I needed gas this morning before going into work. I got a little worried when the key spun further than it should have and the cap would not come off. I fiddled with it a little and then got it to come off. So, I figure after 14 years, and 225,000 miles, I got my money's worth...

Hey Guys, Recently, I posted about the overhead console. Thanks to all who responded. It helped me get a good idea what I was in for. (I'll try to make this quick) So, my plan was to try the junk yards, then Ebay, and then elsewhere. After calling around, I did find a yard that had a...

Well, my compass and temperature gauge went out the other day. Not sure when, just noticed it was off. Earlier, I checked all the fuses, those are good. So, my thoughts then turned to the console itself. So, I removed it and noticed that the panel seems to have popped. I added a picture for...

Quick replies are appreciated. My ST won't start. It runs perfectly and there have been no symptoms to clue me in to what could be going on. Here is the situation: I drove down to the hardware store to pick up some stuff for a new deck I will be building. It drove down here fine, no...

Hey All, So, lately when I go to the bed of the ST, I have to help the bed cover up and there is a bit of sag, but with a little patience it will hold eventually. Well, the other day, it came back to bite me and the bed cover dropped on my head as I was unloading groceries. So, I was...

Hey Everybody, I hit this milestone on the way to work the other day. [Broken External Image]: I am proud to say that my Sport Trac has 200,000 miles on it, and most people don't believe me when I tell them I have that many miles. But my thoughts on approaching 200k was that I...

Hey Guys, I have had a rattle under the ST for a little while, figured it had to do with my sway bar. Anyway, I went looking to tighten up a few things up the other day. I was able to tighten the sway bar just a bit which fixed the rattle, but while I was there I found some fluids that I...

Hey Guys, I got the P0401 error. Any ideas on if it is the EGR valve or the DPFE? I am hoping it is the DPFE because it looks easy to install, but EGR is all over the troubleshooting guide. My ST has 194,000 miles on it, so hopefully it will narrow it down. Thanks for any input...

Hello Sport Trac'ers, Well, I think it might be time for a new radiator. I noticed this crack this morning after seeing a small puddle of coolant under the ST. I am going to look at some prices. The Fast Parts Network has it for $495 I believe. How difficult is it to replace if you do...

Does anybody have the instructions for this DieCast? [Broken External Image]: In my Tech Writing class I decided to write up instructions on how to assemble this toy. Unfortunately, I must have tossed out the original instructions and I need them to compare to. I was hoping somebody...

Couldn't find a category. 2 posts in one day, been a while since I have done that. Anyway, I replaced the battery today, so thanks to the guys who responded and helped. But I now want to replace the hood support cylinders. (yes, it gently fell on my head at Autozone as I was replacing my...

Hi guys, 2 days ago, I got to school a little early, so I played angry birds for about 20 minutes. When it was time to walk to class, I noticed I forgot to turn off the lights. Sure enough, it wouldn't start and had that little clicking sounds it makes. I didn't have time to worry about it...

Hey Guys, Sorry to post only problems lately, the last one being the brakes. (which are fine now BTW with new pads) Anyway, this morning on the way to work my Check Engine light started flashing. This scared the "you know what" out of me, so I pulled off and let it sit for a few minutes...

Hey All, Just had a quick question about the scraping noise coming from my brakes. A few weeks ago I bought new pads to put on because I knew it would need to be done. Not for any reason other than it has been a while and I drive a lot. Anyway, I haven't had time to put them on because I...

Hey All, I wanted to get your thoughts on a steady squeak I have coming from under the hood. I have heard it for a few weeks now, but it seems to go away after the ST is warmed up. The other day, I met a friend to go running and it as I pulled up, he was already out of the car and heard...

Yep, I got my first flat in the Sport Trac. 168,000 miles, 3rd set of tires (2nd set of Revos), 683 posts (I thought I had more) and I finally had to pull a tire off the ST. Not that I was waiting for it, but I thought the streak would never end. God I love these trucks, and this site...
