Reading Lee's post about the engine makes me wonder about how many miles I can hope for from my 2005 STA. I assume this has been posted before but how many miles does everyone have on their trucks? I have just over 137,000 with no major problems so far. MB

My 2005 ST has a squeak in the front end that is getting to be annoying. I replaced the shocks a couple years ago but not sure if it's coming from them or not. It's coming mostly from the driver side. I also replaced the front sway/torsion bar bushings about 2 years ago as well and I sprayed...

I'm sure a lot of other people are still looking for one of these but I'd love to find someone who has a WAAG Sportster center grill guard they'd like to sell for my 05 STA. If not, would there be any chance of someone having a pattern to make one? Thanks for your help. Mark

I'm sure this has been discussed a zillion times but please humor me. I'm wanting to put new shocks on my 2005 ST 4x4. It's got 106,000 miles on it now. I can get a good deal on shocks since the company I work for owns their own Napa store so my cost is 10% over their cost. That being said, they...

When I left for work this morning the yellow airbag warning light started flashing. It flashed four times, then two times, then four times, the two times, etc. until it finally stayed on. Can anyone tell me what this means? Thanks a lot. Mark

When I bought my 2005 STA it had these brackets attached next to the tow hooks. I can not find a brand stamp on them. Does anyone know what they would have held or were used for? I'm thinking of attaching a bar to them to possibly install some lights. Thanks, Mark

Just received my new GTS ShadeBlade thru Amazon yesterday and it took about 10 minutes to install. I bought it with my Amazon gift card money that I get thru Swagbucks. It was $50 and free Super Savings Shipping. So it actually didn't cost me a dime out of my pocket! Ordered on Monday and got...

I never checked this I guess when I bought my 2005 STA but the drivers side rear door window will not go down. Neither the back door switch or the one on the drivers panel will lower it. Could it be a fuse? Any suggestions? Thanks for the help. Mark

Can anyone tell me how much weight my stock 2005 Sport trac will haul? The paper work says it has a "payload upgrade" on it but I don't know what that means. I'm wanting to haul some bundles of shingles but don't know what kind of poundage it can handle safely. Thanks for your help. Mark

Is it very hard to replace the two bulbs behind my Gen 1's climate control switches? One has been out for a while and now the other just went out. I thought there was a Projects listing for this but could not find it. Also, do you know the bulb numbers I'd need. Thanks for the help. Mark

Been thinking about putting a truck topper on my '05 STA. Would any of you guys mind posting some pics of your shells (if you have one) and maybe some likes/dislikes about them? Also the brand and what they cost? Not decided for sure what I will do. Thanks, Mark

I need some help identifying a noise my 2005 STA has developed. After I've driven a few miles, I start to hear a type of vacuum sound or hissing coming from behind the gauge cluster or maybe from the engine compartment. When I stop, still in drive, you can hear it hissing. Once you take the...

Where can I buy a sun deflector for the back window to fit my 2005 STA? Not the back doors but the very back window. Thanks, Mark

I've looked at every truck listed in the ST of the Week section. I'm having a hard time distinguishing between the different model years. I see some have hood scoops. Some have a little different running board. But, most changes are minor. What are some of the exterior differences between the...

I can't find my little sticker that has the info about axle weights, etc. that is normally on the drivers door. It doesn't appear to ever have had one there. Can anyone tell me where else it might be on my 2005 STA? :banghead: I'm wanting to know what axle gears I have. Thanks, Mark

Not sure that is what you call it but I'm needing one of the locking pins that you push or pull to lock the cage into place. Please let me know if you have on availble to sell. Thank you very much. Mark

Is there any way of setting all the door locks to unlock when you put the truck into park? Thanks, Mark

Please forgive me cause I've only owned my STA for 3 days so far but I've been trying to learn and study up as much as I can about it. But, save me some research here and answer me a few basic questions, dumb as they may be. 1st question: Where is the break between 1st and 2nd Gen models...

The right light behind my climate control knobs, specifically the fan speed knob, is out. Is it easily replaced? I have a new service manually coming but it's not here yet, hence the question. Thanks. Mark

Here's a dumb question. I've never had a 4 x 4 before but I just got a 2005 Sport trac 4 x 4. When I put it in neutral and then click the knob to 4 x 4 low, then go back in drive and start to move, the 4 x 4 low light is supposed to come on right? Mine just says 4 x 4. I'm wanting to make sure...
