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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Not too long ago I added some 20 inch wheels on my truck and I finally got around to take some pics. The rims are polished aluminum Showwheel Streeters. I just wondered what other members think of these rims and if anybody has ideas to make the ST look better. I was thinking about spraying the...

Today I came home from work and my wife said 'something really bad' happend: she heard a noise coming from my ST and a little down the road the engine just shut off. I wonder if it's possible the engine of a ST shuts off automatically when it overheats as a precaution (as this is what my classic...

I was just looking around the internet, when I came across a complete Hanneman fiberglass hood with a hood scoop. I don't know if it really fits the ST, but I thought it might be of interest to some. I'm considering to put a hood scoop on my truck one day, maybe at that time I'll look into it...

Hi everyone, I'm currently living in Curacao (Caribbean), but I want to return to my home country of the Netherlands (Europe) next year and bring my beloved 2001 Sport Trac with me. To make import easier I need a Certificate of Conformity to proof that the car meets the requirements for the...

Hi everyone, The other day my wife was driving the ST when the O/D light started blinking and didn't go off until she turned off the engine and restarted it. This has happenend to many others on this forum, as I read in previous posts. So I took their advice and plugged the computer into the...

I'm about to buy a new set of rims for my 2001 Sport Trac and I wonder if there's a difference in rims you can put on either a 2wd or 4wd. Or does anything that goes on a 2wd also fit a 4wd (without modifications) and the other way around? Thanks, Bas

I'm looking into buying a set of rims for my 2001 Sport Trac 2wd. I really like the Showwheels Streeters (http://showwheelsusa.com/). They are 20 inch, 8.5 inch in width and the bolt pattern is 5x114.3. I've got a few questions: will they fit my car without adjustments? Does anyone know if these...
