So the 2001 ST, original alternator. new battery (5 months old) the amp gauge on the dash shows little charging. Battery cables are still clean and tight from the new battery install. Ground cable at battery to frame is less thae 1 ohm. Tested the voltage at the battery, got about 11.5 volts...

mine is a 2001 4X4 with rear drums. 220,000 miles original owner. do not believe the self adjust brakes or auto adjust will advance the brake shoes to compensate for wear. I thought so. However another ST fan advised to adjust the rear with drums/shoes to compensate for wear of the rear...

The ST I have is a 2001, always in Iowa, these parts on mine are still good. replaced the shackles (rusted out) in 2014. this spring will check out these shock mounting plates. Dennis

to fix this, removed the flex brake line and the caliper. Could not be sure if the flex line was bad or if the connection to the caliper was bad Replaced both. the flex brake line was rusted solid to the chassis line to master cylinder, cut it off. then removed the remainder of the line to the...

for a 2 wheel drive the hubs are COMPLETELY different. The 2 whd has bearings, these are serviceable, ie can be cleaned, repacked with grease and returned to service. The 4 whd has non-serviceable hubs. remove, junk out, buy new. Try NAPA. Easy winter this year, only two days with below...

2001 ST. Saturday, driving in town, approached a stop sign the brake pedal had pressure, then went to the floor. Mashed the parking brake, the ST stopped in time. Limped it into the parking lot at that corner. The drivers side front flex brake hose gave way and ALL the FLUID went out the hose...

Check the mileage over more than one tank. Fill the tank. record the odometer mileage. Now for the next three weeks, record every gallon of gas added to the tank. End of week three fill the tank, add this to complete all the fuel added, also record the odometer. Now compute the miles driven in...

you cite a bad pargramer, this is a new term for me. Last week replaced the cat back exhaust on my 2001 ST. All the parts and clamps were from NAPA. Would highly recommend them. . The hardest part was removing the old stock exhaust system Again have not dealt with the pargramer on my ST...

All the electronics could be fine. Some times the servo (electric motor) that actually moves the selector on the transfer case gets "gummed up" due to lack of use. I live in Iowa (my ST is a 2001) due to minimal use of 4 X 4, every 90 days I put the ST on grass or sand and go to high 4X4...

When the lever is put in reverse, and you hit the gas what happens?? Engine revs, car tries to move, ST rolls like in neutral?? Do all the other gear positions work?? Park, (ST should not roll on a hill) Neutral (ST should roll on a hill)l, then Drive (starts in low and progresses through the...

So the 2001 (209,000 miles) has the need for a new exhaust, cat back. Need some help, who has replaced the exhaust in their driveway, not at Midas, what did you use and what was the source. Not looking for max HP or The best sound. Best system and can be done in a driveway. 30 years on cars...

So last spring replaced the flex line, front passenger side. the had to remove and replace the solid line as the two were rusted solid. so cut the solid line below the motor crossmember, only place to get a flaring tool in place. this worked until Sept. Now leaking at this splice. The factory...

There are many problems in the world. After 48 years of marriage, and all was great, then cancer and in the last 9 months, for us there was but one problem. All the issues I thought were important were minimal as we fought this. Give your kids and loved ones a hug. time is so precious and so...

Again, do the 4 X 4 monthly to keep things moving, include all modes on the switch. with 206,000 miles on my ST keeping all parts moving is a priority.:supercool:

Oh Yeah, you guys saved me. Replaced the tension idler pulley in the parking lot. This was shredded, bearings falling on the ground, pulley in pieces. Had a short warning on this then POW, the belt was moving across the frozen pulley and then smoke arose. New belt part of the deal. The...

It is a 2001 ST. 4 liter. So at 206,000 miles the idler pulley goes bad. However the ST is in a parking lot 2 miles from home. From someone that has swapped out one of these what is the process?? Can this be done in the parking lot with common hand wrenches?? Is the idler pulley bolt left...

Green has to be coolant, tranny fluid is red, motor oil is brown/amber, power steering fluid is red, brake fluid is clear (when new). The leak is outside the vehicle, look for a radiator hose leak. Any leak in the engine can cause the vapors to be swept into the cab. Also look for a heater...

Yeah I messed up on the mileage, it is 205,000 The ST was a salvage, hit hard in the left rear. I replaced the rear axle, transfer case and three wheels. Also body work on the bed. No water/submerged issue. the rusted brake line at issue was last replaced 8 years ago, This time for two weeks...

the 2001 ST had a bad flex brake line, passenger side, ftont. Attempting to remove the flex hose caused it to shear off the hard line (chassis side). Bought a 3/16 brake line, 40" long at O'Riely's. Bent the tube to resemble the old line. Some slack on the new line but did some routing to...
