Dear all, Our '01 ST is over heating and my wife had to put it on the side of the road. I checked for leaks, but there seem to be none (radiator is only about a year old, I also replaced the thermostat housing at the same time). The weird thing is that I filled the radiator up some more just...

Hello everyone, I hope someone can help me: my rack and pinion is shot and I need a rebuild one (or a rebuild kit to fix my old one). I checked locally (I live in Curacao) but a rebuild rack and pinion is over $600 at the parts store, a complete new one is even more expensive. I have a feeling...

Hi everybody, I've a problem with steering my ST. Hopefully someone here can point me in the direction of what causes this problem. I can basically spin the steering wheel around by just barely touching it, it just keeps spinning around like it's the spinner rim on a car in a rap video :)...

Hello everyone, as many others before me, I have a leaking lower thermostat housing in my 2001 ST. I've read previous posts and instructions on it, so I'm aware there are two versions of the lower themostat housing for the 2001 model: with one and with two sensors. I've contacted Fast Parts...

Thanks for the help!. I live in Curacao and my car was imported here from the US a year after production. Guess that's why my ST never got a recall (I'm afraid the local dealer didn't know the car was here and the US dealer didn't care anymore when he saw the ST was no longer in the country)...

Hello everyone, The sensor of my brake master cilinder caught on fire past weekend. The car was just sitting there (engine off, not even keys in it) when my friend saw some smoke, when he opened the hood he saw a small flame come out of the sensor. He put out the fire right away. Not further...

Dear all, My ST is beeping 5 times 5 beeps. If I'm not mistaken that's because the dashboard checking light for the airbag doesn't work anymore. Is this coorect? And if so, how do I fix this myself? Or do I need to get it to a dealer/ garage? Other than the beeping the car runs normal...

I thought this might be of interest to some here. I saw a custom ST for sale on eBay today. The ad says it was created fot the 2004 sema show. Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-Ford-Explorer-Sport-Trac-4x4-/320808387904?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item4ab1ab8540 Just to make...

If you think that Chevy looks bad after rear ending the ST, you should have seen the little car that bumped into the Ford 350 RV I rented last July.:grin:

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get a new valve body for the transmission of my 2001 ST. I asked about it here and was directed to an eBay ad from Central Valve Bodies for a valve body for the the 5R55E transmission. Central Valve Bodies told me I might have a 4R70W transmission and should verify...

Hello everybody, I had my transmission (partly) rebuild recently but that didn't solve the entire problem. Apperantly the valve body needs to be replaced as well. Does anyone know a reliable place I could get one at and what price would be reasonable? It's for a 2001 ST by the way. Best...

I recently tooks some pics of my ST that I put in my profile, guess it doesn't hurt to give it a try as ST of the week (even tough there's still a few things that I want to do to the car). Bas[img]http://www.mysporttrac.com/~library/27854/Ford ST internet size pic2.jpg[/img

Hi everyone, on July 1st I'll take my family on a trip to Orlando and I was thinking about buying some parts for my ST when I'm there. I wondered if anyone knows a junk yard in that area that has wrecked ST's (I live on the very small island of Curacao and even though there's actually quite some...

Eddy, big thanks for the link. This looks like the kind of stuff the meccanic needs! Bas

THanks for the advice. I'm not going to rebuild the transmission myself. It's actually going to be done by a trans specialist, who has all the tools, the computer, manual ect. However, he's doing it in his spare time (instead of doing it at the transmission shop he works at, which would be more...

After (only) 93,000 miles the transmission on my 2001 ST needs to be rebuilt. I checked eBay for a rebuilt kit but all I could find were already rebuilt transmissions (which would cost me a small fortune to ship and import in the caribbean). Does anyone know where I can order a complete...

Thanks for the suggestions! I might take the roof rack, I'm not really using it anyways. Tinting the other windows sounds good, but unfortantly it's not allowed by law here in Curacao. Lots of people used to do it, but than the local government decided to apply the law strictly. They check it...
