    Hey guys, 103,000 miles on the ST and I have my first problem. ST wont crank, when I turn the key everything powers on, and I can hear the fuel pump cycle, but the engine does not crank. I thought it might be an ignition switch? Any ideas? and if so is this something I could tackle or should...

    Shocks after TT/SL

    Hey guys, I am FINALLY replacing the shocks on the ST. (after 94,000 miles) 93,999 miles too late haha. Anyway, just wanted to get your opinion on shocks I should use, and should I try getting extended length ones since I have a TT/SL on the truck. The stock shocks are on now, and do...

    Boat Launch

    Used the ST has it was intended this weekend, pulling my parents 24ft pontoon boat for them. ST did awesome up the hills with the load, and never lost traction on the launch ramp, even in just 2wd. As i always say, the ST is the best vehicle ever, I'm disappointed there wont be a 3rd...

    Rack and Pinion?

    Hey guys. I finally bought the ST to have the steering looked at. The issue is that I basically have zero power assist at low speeds (parking lot, local street driving) I replaced the power steering pump, but the issue still occurred. I took it to a mechanic today and he wants to replace the...

    Starter Replacement is a nightmare

    Well, I replaced the starter on the ST today. To say it was difficult is an understatement. If you have a 4x4, there is virtually no way to get the starter out from its position on the engine, let alone reach the bolts. I finally got it though. I had to remove the steering rod as well as a...

    Windows 7

    Anybody try out Windows 7 yet? The beta is currently out and available for download. I installed it on my laptop (Dell D630) yesterday. I like it alot, it installed great, and recognized all device drivers etc. Its what Vista should have been. Very impressed thus far.

    Rack and Pinion Replacement

    Hey Guys, Pretty sure the rack and pinion on my ST is shot. I originally thought it was the power steering pump (actually made a post on that originally), but apparently it is not, as it is still very difficult to turn the steering wheel. My question is, how hard a job is the replacement...

    Power Steering Pump?

    So long story short, I replaced the power steering pump on the ST today. Basically I had zero assist at idle or when moving slowly (ie in a parking lot) Brand new pump is in, BUT still exact same issues. No assist at low speeds. Even if I rev the engine while in neutral, while sitting...

    Towing with a Dolly

    Hey guys, tomorrow I will be renting a tow dolly and towing a 1983 Chevrolet Suburban 4x4 manual transmission for a distance of about 150 miles. I'm pretty sure the ST is up to the task but I one question that hopefully someone will know the answer to. I was wondering if I would be doing any...

    Did some towing today

    Did some towing with the ST today. I towed my parents 24' pontoon boat from the lake to their house. ST handled VERY well. I wish it had more power going up the hills but it towed the load pretty well. Below are some pics. [Broken External Image]: [Broken External Image]: And one...

    Pinging

    Hey guys, the motor of my ST has been pinging at highways speeds. Its usually at around 60mph, but doesn't occur around town at all. I did a search and I have cleaned the throttle body, the IAC, and also did a Seafoam treatment. I am running the 87 perf tune on my Xcal and have been using 87...

    A\C Line - Coastie Joe I need help!

    The A/C line on my ST has got a tear in it, long story how it happened, but at the dealer its is an over $200 part, and was wondering if you could give me the usual junk yard listings on the part. It is the line that runs from the black accumulator on the firewall across the front of the engine...

    XCal 2-33" Tires

    Hey Guys, I'm seriously considering the purchase of an XCal2. My ST is lifted with 33" tires and the performance, especially around town, is very sluggish. I was wondering if those of you whom have oversized tires running an Xcal2 would let me know if it restored your performance/gas mileage at...

    Went Off Roading on the beach

    Hey Guys, Just thought I would share a few pics of the ST on the beach in Suffolk County LI. It was awesome, the ST was really good in the sand, I didn't even air down the AT's though next time I think I will. **Edit Sorry I didnt realize they were so large!** [Broken External Image]...

    Factory Sub / Aftermarket Radio

    Hey Guys, I just bought and installed a JVC KD HDR1 headunit for the ST. Install went great, but I ran into some trouble with the wiring of the factory sub. The headunit has two RCA male plugs hanging off the back labeled subwoofer, but Im not sure on how to wire it up. Do I need some sort of...

    JVC KD-HDR1 (HD radio)

    Has anyone installed this in their ST? I went to overstock.com and found one for $139.99. Thats including a $20 off promotion. Is this a good price? Apparently it is a direct swap for the factory headunit, but I wanted to ask you guys first. Also was interested in how it is mounted being that it...
