Earlier this summer I took my 2001 ST to Northern Nevada for a convention and did some 4-wheeling in NV, UT & CO. ( for pics see my webshots member photos: Fordtractor8n ) While off-roading in 4wd, I found out to my dismay I had no engine braking in 1st gear with the automatic shifter on 1. However if I selected 2, I had braking but of course at a much higher speed than I wanted going down some steep slopes. I nearly burned up my brakes a couple of times. The tranny seems to shift normally ok up & down. I have about 65k on the truck and have used it off-road before this year without this problem. Is this a serious problem or is it something in the shifting that can be easily adjusted?
