Yardsale, I thought the same thing about the shop. I had to stop by to get something out of the cab and expected to see the bed off but what I found was my ST parked in the back of the lot, bed still on it, and no appearance of any repairs. It's like they say the bed out of alignment and...

Just a suggestion, check the drain line from the intake air vents in front of the windshield. My 01 ST leaks. In a heavy rain, I get a slow drip on my shoes. I think the line runs under the dash over to the drivers door then down and out. I have yet to locate the leak but I've felt the water on...

For those of you who have worked, removed or replaced a bed on an early ST, how much play is there in the bed in regards to alignment? What I'm trying to find out is how much can you move the bed around when the four bolts that hold it in are loose. The body shop that is trying to repair my ST...

I have a 2001 ST with the 15" steel spoke wheels. I was recently in an accident and now have a bent rim. Trying to find a matching steel wheel to replace it. Can someone (anyone?) tell me what other Fords had the same rims that I can try to find at a wrecking or U-pull it yard? Thanks for any...

I have a 2001 ST that was involved in an accident yesterday. Got hit right at the right rear tail light. Destroyed the light, messed up the bumper a little but tore the bed. Does anyone know what year beds will fit on a 2001 model? Has anyone removed/replaced a bed and how involved was it...

Marsha - If it is leaking at the radiator as you previously noted, check your radiator fluid. If there is any red tint with bubbles in your anti-freeze, you might have an internal radiator failure like I had a few months back. Also, look at your overflow bottle and check the color of the fluid...

For those that asked, I had some slipping in the transmission from a standing start. I went by my local transmission shop thinking that my torque converter was failing and the mechanic said that was a possibility but there were other potential causes to the slipping. He asked about the level in...

What little bit of tran. fluid is left does not really look that way to me. I will still get it flushed at least once with a new filter.

Had the transmission cooler that's built into the radiator fail and in turn it dumped transmission fluid into the cooling system. I have drained the cooling system and I'm installing a new radiator. Question is, what is the best way to get the oily residue (from the transmission fluid) out of...

I usually have roughly 2 gallons +/- left in my tank when it comes on. That will get me anywhere from 32-37 miles depending on how I'm driving. But like you, I tend to start looking for a station as soon as the low fuel light comes on.

Can you make the pictures any bigger? Having trouble seeing them. :grin:

Don't know if this will work for you but it's at least a start. This is for a 2007 model so I would assume that the 2008 would be similar. Start at page 102. http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/catalog/owner_guides/07p27og4e.pdf

I have a 2001 ST, 2wd. Occasionally, when I do a hard brake (not panic), the ST slows quick, then locks up for a split second, then brakes again. Is this a sign of possible problems with my anti-lock brakes or some other brake problem? Don't want to throw away good money but want to fix this. It...

"Both reservoirs have leaks?" Aren't they made as a single piece? Actually the coolant reservoir is the part that's leaking. The windshield washer fluid side is fine (so far!) Thanks for the replies.

My coolant/windshield wiper reservoir has a leak in it. I believe the plastic has become brittle with age. Is this repairable? I have seen numerous replacement versions available on Ebay but not certain if the model numbers will fit my year. Are there other Ford vehicles that have a reservoir...
