    Another dead 4.0

    My old 05 ST Adrenalin that my 80 year old father in law bought from me years ago had a catastrophic engine failure. He really likes the truck and we have been fixing it as things go bad. There have been several things over the last few years. We did timing chains a couple of years ago with all...

    2005 ST random misfire, help!

    My father in laws 05 Adrenalin has a misfire. When I first got it from him I was getting a P0303. What is odd about it is that it only does it for about 10 seconds on a 20 mile drive. The CEL will flash but not set except one time. I tried plugs first, the only difference seemed to be the P0303...

    Running boards rock sliders

    Over the years I have bent and ruined several sets of side steps and brackets off roading. I have looked at several rock sliders but did not really like them. I decided to try and come up with something on my own. After thinking about what I needed I wanted something smooth on the bottom and...

    Gear issue in 8.8 with heavy duty rear cover

    Sorry in advance for the long story. I have a 01 Sport Trac with a 8.8 4.10 trac loc. The pinion bearing had gone bad, lots of noise and movement. I decided to try and find a good used one. Found one at the pull a part near me and it seemed really good and tight with no leaks. I put it in about...

    N2FORD's new project with issues

    I know it's not a Sport Trac but it's close and this is the main section I hang out in. It's closer to a ST than the 02 Explorer's. Anyway I got an 02 Sport with 212k to replace the ST my son totaled back in August. It is a 4 wheel drive and I plan on doing a small lift and fixing the issues it...

    Ford V-10 in a Sport Trac

    I went to pick my son's Sport Trac from having the engine replaced with a used one. There was a white ST in the parking lot and I asked about it. They said the mechanic that put the engine in my son's truck owned it. He said he put an engine in his awhile back. Except he put a V-10 in it from a...

    Mounty side mirror puddle lights on an Sport Trac

    Well since I have the donor Mounty at the house I decided to take the mirrors off and try them on the ST. Both trucks go to have the V8 swap next weekend. It is not a easy direct swap as it required wiring which I am not done with yet and the trim areas don't match up perfect.

    Engine interchange

    I have seached for awhile and can't find the answer to my questions. I have a 2001 ST job 2 and am planning on having a 5.0 swap done. I have found a 2001 Job 1 ST with a bad engine. I have read about the oil fill and oil filter being different. What else will I run into swapping the engine from...

    Hey guys I have been absent for a little while in the ST section. I sold my white ST about 3 1/2 years ago. I went to a F150 and also had a V8 Mountaineer that I was building. I have since sold both of those and bought a 2001 ST a couple of months ago. This is my second ST and have also had 6...

    trailer hitch
