Just wanted to drop a note of thanks to the board for the advice over the 16+ years I owned my 2001 ST. I saved a lot of money and skipped a lot of headaches thanks to the projects, wisdom and help I found here. In the end, the ST just needed too much work for me to keep, so this morning it...

I think I'll be moving on from my '01 Trac soon (114K miles). When we bought my wife's car a year ago, I spoke to the dealer there about trade-in value, and he indicated he wasn't really interested in it at all (mainly due to issue #1 below). Given that the trade-in is likely to be worth less...

Looks interesting, and not as ugly as the Ridgeline. https://jalopnik.com/the-volkswagen-atlas-tanoak-is-the-german-pickup-here-t-1824142485

So...yesterday my 2001 ST, which I already know has transmission issues, started doing something else odd. The column shifter seems loose and it became hard to get it into park. I figured out that if I drop it all the way down, then move it all the way back up I can get it into park, but it's...

So...on top of the transmission that needs to be replaced and the spark plugs I know I need to have changed...I walked out of my office at lunch to find that my Trac won't start. Battery seems to have enough juice. Radio works. A/C works. Everything sounds and looks normal until I turn the...

Had the Trac for a few months over 15 years but this may be the end of the line. Started getting the flashing O/D light last night heading to dinner, then noticed 2nd gear lurching when I drove it home later. Brought it in to a local shop this morning and he confirmed that 2nd is shot...

Ordered the Prothane kit last week with plans on maybe tackling it myself. Then, I gave a local off-road shop a call and they told me they'd replace the mounts for $250 flat. Done. Dropped it off Monday, got it back on Tuesday and good god does it make a difference. No more squeaking and...

So, I was adding some wiper fluid Sunday when I noticed that my coolant reservoir was low (ie- empty) in the holding tank. I had some pre-mixed coolant on hand so I dumped what I had in there which got it back up to where I could see it in the reservoir but not all the way back up to the cold...

So, the steering wheel switches on my Trac have been shot for a while now. The left On/Off switch was cracked to hell, the other was just faded & funky. So, I replaced them. The new switches look great, but the cruise control isn't working. The On/Off switch seems to be functioning...

Finally got around to giving my '01 a thorough cleaning, wash & wax this weekend. As I did so, I noticed that the two moulding strips on the back of the roof that slope down from the top to the back are cracked and pretty much garbage. So, two questions: 1) Can I just remove them and...

I've read through several years of threads on these and seen options (or the talk of options) from Daystar, Prothane, etc. I've even been to the Explorer boards to see what they have to say. So, after all of that, is there a solution the board considers better than the others? My...

Had ball joints (& endlinks) replaced a few months ago, which took care of my previous front end issues, but now I've got quite a lot of popping and clanking coming from the driver's side front wheel area and I've noticed a burning smell similar to scorched rubber coming from the area as well...

No matter which way I flip the switch in the door jamb, I can't seem to get the rear doors of my ST to open from the inside. The outside handles work fine, so I think it's the kid safety locks that are causing it. Is there some trick to unlocking these?

Just changed the transfer case lube on my '01 today using info I found on this site. Including buying a suction gun, the whole thing cost my about $22 and an hour of time. If it weren't for the people and projects I've discovered here, I would never have even thought to do something like...

Chose "steering" because it's on the steering wheel. Anyway, how hard is it to replace that button? I basically just pressed it on my '01 a few days ago and it cracked under my thumb. Happens with 10 year-old plastic, I guess.

Too funny to not share. **Updated link. Shouldn't be blocked anymore.

Need to find a replacement tire for my truck, so I'm looking for a 265/70/16 Revo. Can't find one locally or online, so if you have one to sell or know where one might be I'd greatly appreciate the info. Thanks.

If anyone knows where I can locate a 265/70/16 Dueler AT Revo or Revo 2, I'd greatly appreciate the info. I got a nail in one of mine and apparently it can't be plugged or patched. Local shops are no help and TireRack.com has them backordered as well. I just need one. REALLY trying to...

It just started today out of nowhere. Sometimes happens when I'm sitting still and turn the wheel, always happens when I jump on the running board or go over bumps. I've greased the sway bar for squeaking before, but this is much louder than that was. Thoughts? It's an '01 4X4 Job 2...
