    Hello from the PNW

    Welcome aboard. It sounds like you are needing to replace the lock actuator in your drivers door. The wires sometimes break where the go from the body to the door so use a voltmeter or do some tests before spending money. In my opinion K&N air filters are only good for stopping rocks, I'd stay...

    What to do when you need to replace your beloved ST?

    I sold my '17 Tacoma for the '10 Sport Trac Ltd. The only area where the Tacoma out does the Sport Trac is in off road ability. Perhaps if I'd bought an XLT I might not feel that way. In all other areas the Tacoma is lost in the dust and I have a V8 that gets about the same consumption as the...

    4.6L Pinging at low RPM

    You might need the tune tweaked to reduce the advance at certain points. You could also run higher grade gas.

    Gen2 heat fades hot and cold while driving

    03 ST door.

    This happened to me on a Bronco a few years back. It is the actuator getting weak, you'll have to replace it. Not a bad job, just fiddly. If I remember correctly you'll need a very short 1/4" bolt with a low profile head and a nut to replace the rivet that will need drilled out.

    Looking for...

    I had a similar situation with a rim on my Landcruiser. I took it to Walmart and they used some kind of sealant. It never leaked again. I have since sold that and now have the Sport Trac. The corrosion was caused by a previous owner getting dirt between the tire and the rim which then caused the...

    Engine Starting Trouble

    Unfortunately I am new to STs and don't have the same model as you. Hopefully someone will be along shortly with more specific information. I'd also suggest checking the lever/cable adjustments on the shift linkage as that could be a cause too. Sorry I can't help further. Tim

    Engine Starting Trouble

    I suggest checking the nuetral/park safety switch. It sounds like it maybe slightly out of alignment.
