    Hissing sound

    Lately my ST has been idling rough. I looked under the hood today and heard a loud hissing sound. A hole was melted through a rubber line marked fuel vapour. The line runs from behind the throttle body to under the battery box. With the truck running I put my finger over the hole and the truck...

    Pulleys

    I decided to change my drive belt yesterday. I am getting ready to haul my boat around for the season so I'm catching up with some maintenance. While doing so I noticed that the tension and idle pulleys have quite as bit of play in them. You can tip them back and forth but when turning they...

    Manually switching 4x4

    I was wondering if it was possible to put the truck in 4wd manually. My control motor is shot and the truck is useless in the snow with 2wd. I will be replacing the motor soon but really cant use the truck without the 4wd. With the control motor off you can turn the sector shaft to 4wd but it...

    Fan Control

    I have been having trouble with the fan control for the past few days. The fan dosent work at all most times. I drive around all day with no heat and then sometimes in the evening when I start the truck the fan works. I'm thinking a short in the wiring somewhere. Any ideas on where to start.

    Oil Pressure Gauge

I then noticed that the oil pressure gauge was showing no pressure. :angry: I turned off the engine, checked the oil and restarted. The gauge was still showing no pressure. After a couple of minutes the oil pressure shot up to...

    Sloppy rear axles

    I was in the process of changing the rear shoes on my ST and I noticed that the axleshaft had some play in it. The right side can be moved approx. 1/4" in and out and the left side 3/16". They do not move up or down. The left side also has some oil coming out. After a little research I'm...

    Winter Tires

    Was wondering if someone can tell me if 16" rims from an '06 mazda tribute will fit my '01 ST. The tire size is 235 70 16. A friend of mine said I could have them for free if they fit. The lease is up on his Mazda.

    Upper Ball Joint

    Hey there, I'm new to the site although I have been following the Sport Trac Board for over a year now. I have learned quite a bit about my ST from this site. The question I have for everyone is about an upper balljoint for my '01 ST. The passenger side balljoint needs to be replaced...
