Hi! My 2003 ST (225K miles) has suddenly developed a new leak (see pics). I first noticed it after a 150-mile day trip, which included about 3 miles of driving on a very rough gravel road/path. Saw the puddle under the front bumper (passenger side) on the driveway the next morning. Didn't...

My 2003 ST (212K miles) is leaking fluid (drops, not a steady stream) of pinkish-light brown liquid. It feels oily, but doesn't seem to have an odor. It's hitting the ground in the center of the truck, about 6 inches behind the front wheels. Could this be transmission fluid? I put a picture...

Hi! I'm at the point of needing new tires for my 2003 ST (209K+ miles and still going!). I've used the LTX M/S2s for the last couple of rounds of tires, but am being told those are not being made anymore. Looking at Michelin Lattitude Tours, LTX Premiere or Defenders. Has anyone had good or...

Hi! My 2003 ST had a new transmission installed around 120k miles. Now it's at 207K miles and I'm noticing a slight hesitation before it shifts -- when it's accelerating and approaching 40 mph (not sure if that's 2nd or 3rd gear). When I say slight, I mean 1 or 2 seconds. Just enough...

Has anyone used these on an ST? Just wondered if they are recommended or not by other ST owners. They seem to be "mini-van" or "small SUV" tires, not the "light truck" tires I've previously looked at for my ST. Current ones are Michelin LTX M/S2, which I've liked pretty well (I think this is...

Way back in 2003 when I bought my new ST, I got a special E-Z pass tag that mounts on the front license plate because somewhere I heard that the normal tags that mount to the inside of your windshield would not work on an ST. I vaguely recall something about the type of glass or the tinted...

2003 ST with 190K miles My truck has been having a strong "barnyard" odor whenever I turn on the AC (just started using AC this past weekend). And today when I got to work, discovered a sizable pool of green liquid on the ground under the front passenger side of the truck. When I swabbed...

2003 ST with 190K Thanks to those last week that responded about the anti-freeze burning smell/smoke that my ST is experiencing. Unfortunately, my mechanic still hasn't found a leak after checking the areas that other members suggested. The problem seems to be sporadic, since I drove an...

2003 ST with 190K miles (original owner) My ST is in the shop right now and my mechanic seems to be stuck. Whenever I turn on the air (whether heat, A/C, vent or defrost), a strong foreign odor has been coming into the truck. It is particularly bad when the heat is turned on -- brownish...

2003 ST with 190K miles (original owner) My ST has been pretty reliable over the past 12 years, but I've never driven it on a trip farther than about 600 miles (round trip). I'm now considering a 1,500 mile trip and would love to take my ST rather than rent a vehicle. (FYI - this would...

My 2003 ST's driver seat belt is giving me trouble. The "receiver" part that you plug the belt into is not working properly. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it will not allow me to push the tongue of the belt into it. There seems to be a small piece inside the receiver that is not...

RE: Remote for keyless entry Both of my remotes recently stopped working, so I tried changing the batteries. However, they still don't work. I also tried the procedure of turning the ignition on/off 8 times to program the remote, and that did not work either. Any more suggestions? Do...

RE: 2003 ST 4WD For years I've noticed that the windshield wiper on the driver's side never does a good job of clearing the windshield across the whole length of the wiper. This is true regardless of what type of wiper blades I put on (I've tried many). I just saw a post about changing...

I love my 2003 ST! Bought it almost exactly 11 years ago (new) and I'm hoping it runs for another 100,000 miles! Had to replace the transmission at 125K, but other than than, it's been a great truck! What's the highest mileage reached by members of this site? I'm hoping my truck sets a...

2003 ST w/ 168K miles Two days ago the fan wouldn't come on at all, next day it worked for part of the day but then stopped. This is not an auto temp system, just the manual hvac with a dial for the fan and a dial for cold/hot. Since fan motor is apparently not dead, could this be a fuse or...

About 1 or 2 years ago I put Silverstar headlight bulbs in my 2003 ST (165K miles). Last night for the first time I found that the left bulb is not working on low - it only works when I put on the high beams. Since it is the same bulb for both high and low beams, I assume the bulb itself is...

2003 ST 4WD with 160K - I've had Michelin LTX M/S-2 tires on the ST for the past 60K miles, and noticed for the last 1000 miles or so that there seemed to be a dull roar coming from the wheels/tires that started soft and increased in volume as the ST went faster. I assumed this was because the...
