Hello everyone, Hope your weekend went well. Mine, not so well. My wife is in the market for a new vehicle. I'm burnt out from riding in every vehicle in town. Unfortunately, I can't convince her into a sport trac. Oh well, her lose. With that being said, can anyone help with a car fax...

If anyone can help out on this, it would be greatly appreciated. VIN# 3GNEC12J17G265337 Will give email address if you succeed. Thanks.

Thermostat and waterpump are original, no maintenance. Didn't notice the temperature gauge move. Didn't think to look at it (duh!). Some things are just too simple.

This has happened to me twice now. I go to a fast food drive through with the heater on full (early morning cold). By the time i get to the drive through, it's toasty inside. After sitting idle for about a minute, the heat turns to cold. I rev the engine a couple of times, it get hot again. Same...

Why are my front tires wearing unevenly on the inside? Should I be concerned with another problem that's not apparent?

OK, don't laugh, but how do you know when your ball joints go bad? :huh:

Hi all, Todd Z, I am in great need of you expert opinion or anyone else with some insight. I have a 2002, Gen 2, automatic transmission ST with 129706 miles. While moving in first gear, I get this whining noise. It sounds like there is no oil in the engine. It's hard to tell if the noise is...

It's a whining noise

Sorry bout that. 2002, Gen 2, automatic 129706 miles. The noise is coming from the engine compartment while sitting in the drivers seat. No noise while in park or neutral. Would the serpentine have anything to do with it?

All you ST gurus out there. My ST is sick :(. My first gear sounds horrible. It sounds like gears are grinding. Once past first, then it runs smoothly. Any thoughts before I take it to the shop and get reamed? :( :blink: TimB

If you are using Cyberlink powerDVD player as your dvd player, you need to uninstall it. When asked if you want to keep previous settings, mark no. Reinstall Cyberlink. That should take care of your problem.

I need to replace a couple of dash lights in my 2001 ST. I want to replace them with blue colored bulbs, not LEDs, I've had problems with those before. Just the plain bulbs. Where can I get those? I've seen the projects on changing them out but still no location to get them. Thanks

Did you ever get your dash lights? and where did you get them? I need to replace mine also. No one has listed where to get the bulbs.

Been there, done that, twice. Loved it. Go for it. You won't forget it. Now I am scuba diving. Too cool.

Hello all ST enthusiasts, I have a JVC KT-SR1000 Sirius receiver. I am thinking of upgrading. I have too much interference with this model. What do you have? and do you like it? I am talking about the sportsters not the sound systems with sirius already in them. Your opinions count a great deal.
