I currently have the same symptoms. My issues seem to lie along the lines of a small radiator leak as well as the biggest culprit, a leaking timing chain cover gasket. Currently at the shop getting fixed and as long as they are in it that far, the water pump is being replaced as well because...

Double check to make sure your coolant levels aren't low. Check both the overflow reservoir and the radiator when the engine is cold. If the coolant gets low, air can get into the system and cause these types of spikes in temperature readings. The easiest way to bleed the cooling system of...

Todd, do you still have that 1 set left? Is that 1 set meaning just for the tie down brackets or do you have a set left for the roof rack yet as well?

I agree with rmcalis. I just replace my entire exhaust from the cat back last weekend. Luckily for me, my brother has a nice shop for building street drags and track cars. I went over there and together, we managed to have the exhaust changed in an hour and a half. Two out the three hanger...

You now have 6 days to make up your mind. It is relisted with the same price. I'm guessing we will see it relisted again later with the price being as high as it is. Here's the link to the new listing.

My 01 Job 1 has 2 resistors. I had the same problem and found the resistor at fault. One side of the resistor was not connected anymore. I took the circuit board to a friend of mine that works with electronics all the time and had him beef up the solder joints with quite a bit extra solder on...

I could not believe the difference in traction when I switched over to a set of dedicated winter tires. My ST came with a good set of Michelin street tires on it, which works great in spring, summer, and fall, but they didn't quite cut it for me for the harsh WI winters we have. I now switch...

Mitch, I am not sure if you still have the wheels for sale, but if you do, you might want to check out this craigslist posting. Good Luck on your sale.

Me, I hope those you tube videos came in handy for you. Yardsale, Thanks for the tip. I checked out the link on the FAQ for multiple links. I will try that next time.

Finally realized how to create the actual hyperlink in the post. Here is the hyperlink for part 2 of the video

Try this link. I believe this is what Vic was trying to get at. Here is part 1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4N5E_RfYpE Here is part 2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LUdwhq-M3M I have the same rattle and plan to change out these tensioners VERY SOON.

Thanks Yardsale. I just checked out the YouTube video to replace the rear. That one looks fairly easy. I haven't watched the Part 2 video for the front, and I am assuming it might be a bit more difficult per Ed's comment above. Swshawii, I hope it isn't one of those T/C abbreviations...

After a little bit of research, I now realize it means the timing chain. I should have realized that before. :banghead: Anyways, is this still something that is just annoying and not something to worry about unless more major repairs are needed or should I have my mechanic look into this...

What is T/C an abbrieviation for? This has me curious since mine sounds like it has the same issue (meaning the rattle at start up) as both of your Tracs'. Any ideas as to what needs to be replaced or repaired would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you happen to find out what is causing the sound, please post the information under this thread as I also have the same issue going on as well. I hadn't noticed the sound in the summer, but have noticed it many times now throughout the cold season. I assumed it was the winter tires that I...

Just a little word of caution: Check to make sure 15" wheels will fit before you purchase them. I wanted a set of winter tires as well so I tried fitting my 15" Ford Ranger rims on my 01 Job 1 ST only to find out they are too small. They fit over the brake caliper just fine, but when I spun...

I just want to say thanks for the responses. The responses shared makes me a little less worried that I have bought a lemon ST. Much appreciated. Just to share for those of you curious, the previous owner owned the ST from new. I want to say it might have been one of the first ones...

I'm fairly new to the site. About 8 months ago, I purchased my first ST. Unfortunately, I didn't do enough research first before buying it, and I now own a 2001 Job 1 ST with 140,000 miles on it. I did hold out until I got what I thought to be a pretty good deal. At the time, I had...

Thanks for sharing. I just bought my 01 ST in May and have what seems to be the same issues. I will definitely check into this possible solution.

Do you still have the tonneau cover available? If so, will this fit a 2001 Sport Trac? Your ad says it is for a 2002-2005 Sport Trac. I thought the years 2001-2006 were all the Gen 1.
