    Went to open the tailgate last night and the handle broke completely off. I'm looking for the part number of the handle assembly. Anyone have access to a parts list?

    Thermostat housing leak...AGAIN

    The old 2001 Job 2 has once again blown the thermostat housing seam. We got the truck in 2003 and it was leaking when we bought it. Ford replaced it under warranty. When the cam cassettes went in 2011 it was leaking yet again. I bought another new Ford plastic craptastic thermostat housing...

    2 years later the rattle came back

    I had the timing chain rattle about 2 years ago in my 2001 ST. I removed the engine and replaced the cassettes, chains and tensioners. All has been well until today. The rattle started and I shut it down right away. The kit I got wasn't Ford OEM, it was a Rock Auto jobber. I removed the left...

    Beer taste changes with my age

    I love the IPAs for years, would never even sit by an open bottle of stout or porter up until the last few years. I was losing my taste for the IPAs and the lighter beers; I was basically prepared to swear off beer altogether. I was down at a friends place and he offered me a Guinness extra...

    STA train

    Came back yesterday from a few day work trip. I was driving north on a 110 Km/H stretch of highway doing a bit more then the legal limit. I passed another black STA on the way up. The girl driving sped up and stayed on my ass. About fifteen minutes later we passed a red STA who also decided...

    Gen 2 rear axle squeak

    Have a Gen 2 that has a low to medium speed squeak in what sounds to be the left rear brake/axle. After a little digging I suspect it is covered under TSB 08-19-6 - HIGH PITCHED SQUEAL NOISE FROM THE REAR AXLE AREA. I was wondering if anyone has tackled this one and/or has a exploded parts...

    Why are production numbers secret???

    I got this reponse to a request for 2008 - 2010 ST production numbers. They claim low sales as the reason to cancel the project but according to this message they didn't even know what the numbers were. Dear Mr. XXXX, Thank you for contacting the Ford of Canada Customer Relationship...

    Box heater

    I have 3 retrievers and a Siberian husky that I cart around in our 2001 ST, the husky is ok in our canopied box but the retrievers can't take a longer drive (McMurray to the nearest city Edmonton is pretty much a 5 hour drive) in anything colder than about -10 or -15. I want to add a aux heater...

    Stopped the belt chirping finally

    I did the timing chains on our 2001 last year. When I did that I also replaced the idler, tensioner and serpentine belt with a Dayco Poly rib. It squealed a badly when the truck was cold and has been getting progressively worse. I bought another one looking for a cog style but was informed...

    Thanks to this site and a post that had access to full TSBs I found out there was a TSB for Gen 2 20" aluminium wheels to address corrosion around the center cap, TSB 10-11-2. Mine is just recently out of the 60,000 KM warranty so I miss out on the warranty replacement of the wheels and center...

    Lean codes

    Hello, I have a 4.0L 2001 Sport Trac with 120,000 KM. I had the 5R55 out about a month ago due to a 5th gear shift flare. While it was out I changed all of the O2 sensors due to a dead heater code in one of the sensors. Now the transmission works beautifully but I am am getting an...
