Hi all, Have an 01 ST and the speedometer is acting up. It gets "stuck" at 50 MPH and won't go any higher. Then, when it drops, it hovers around 20. It flutters at times. The other gauges on the cluster seem to be working fine (the odometer and cruise control both work, etc). Due to this...

Hi all, I hope everyone's ST is running better than mine! I have a leaking oil pan and/or a rear main seal leak. I really hope it's not the rear main seal because I was told the transmission would have to be removed for it to be replaced. Does anyone know if that's true? That's something I...

Hi all, I hope everyone's ST is running better than mine ;] Hoping for any insight as to diagnosing an oil leak. It's mostly at the base of the oil pan and some is getting on the differential cover. I've been told it's either the rear main seal or the lower oil pan gasket but I'm trying to...

Hello, I hope this post finds everyone (and their Ford!) doing well. I'm getting three error codes: P1000 Drive Cycle Test Not Complete PO301 Cylinder 1 Misfire PO302 Cylinder 2 Misfire The truck has some issues. The timing chain (as is common on these engines) is starting to go. I think we...

Hello, I hope this post finds everyone well. I know that stop leak additives are a controversial subject but has anyone tried any for a Sport Trac Differential? Front is leaking at the driver side axle seal (was replaced around a year ago but mechanic says the front axle is rusted and thus...

Hello, I hope this post finds everyone well. My truck was diagnosed by a dealer with a timing chain issue. It was relatively quiet and now is getting louder as I have a long commute. I tried additives at the last two oil changes (STP / Lucas) which did not seem to help. Is there any way to...

Hello, I hope this post finds everyone (and their Ford) doing well! Getting some noises from under the hood and had the serpentine belt replaced. Although that did quiet things down some, I have been told that the timing belt will need to be replaced at some point (one mechanic said it...

Hello, Wondering if anyone has ever replaced just a ball joint boot? The upper boot on the front passenger side is torn / degraded but the ball joint is in good working order with no unwanted play (as verified by a mechanic and my own test.) Sprayed inside it with white lithium grease...

Read an interesting article online stating 10 things that can cause a death wobble. Having overinflated tires was one of those things... It happened several times on the highway and later found out that my rear passenger tire was 10 lbs under. Could this possible be the culprit or is it...

Still trying to diagnose a squeak when I brake and was told to check the stop pad. However, I can't find any information online about it... Does anyone know if it has one, and, if so, where it's located / how to check it? Any input appreciated as it's getting worse. Thanks again!

Hello, Have an 01 squeaking when stopping (specifically from 30mph down to a full stop.) Finally (I hope / think) narrowed it down to the Caliper. First thing I want to do is grease the slide pin but also told that the dust shield or a clip could be rubbing on the rotor? I'm not overly...

Anyone have any thoughts / experience as to a Stopleak product that might work for two seals related to the front differential in an 01 Sport Trac? The Input Shaft Seal and Output Shaft Seal are both leaking. I never use 4WD and need to focus on other work but wanted to try something...

Hello, I hope this post finds everyone well! Unfortunately, I'm not sure my 01 is doing so well as there is a (now) pretty aggressive squeaking noise when I 'm braking. It's coming from somewhere near the Front Passenger Side tire and starts when braking from 30mph and downward. It...

Hello, I hope this post finds everyone well! I have a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac that is not engaging into 4x4. A local auto shop replaced the motor to no avail so we purchased a new transfer control shift module. I initially thought that the module was behind the glove box (like...

Hello, I hope anyone reading this is doing well! Any insight would be sincerely appreciated as my truck has started acting up and I cannot afford an expensive repair. The ABS light suddenly came on (hauling a somewhat heavy load when it happened) and will not go off. At the exact...
