Turns out that the thermostat was faulty and it was stuck in the on position. It ran the engine really cool. It was replaced and the problem was solved.
Going tonite at 7 PM to pickup. I hope everything I ordered is on it
"The Cargo Cage is equipped with a theft deterrent device. To utilize, locate the set screws opposite the locking clips on the center tubular bar. Use a Phillips screwdriver and turn the set screw counterclockwise 8-10 revolutions. This disables the locking clips and prevents removal of the cage."
Guess they forgot to put this in the manual.
No gas door rub, no shimmey in the steering during low speed turns. Job 2 vehicle. I love the tonneau cover!!!!!
Can you post a few pictures as soon as you can, so
I can evaluate the color. I may want to change my
order. The build time is so short now I may run out of time to change it. Thanks
Good for you. I got a call from my dealer on Monday and he said he got an ETA date of Oct. 1st so my silver st should be here before I know it. Cant wait-glad you dont have any problems with yours, hope my luck is the same. I ordered leather and also the tonneau cover. Guess I better hurry now and try to sell my 91 Explorer to cut down on the finance amount.
For those of you that haven't received your guide yet, this little info on the cargo cage makes it worth it.
The only problem is, you still cannot 'lock' the cargo cage in. Anyone with a philips head screwdriver can defeat the theft deterrant feature. The old saying, "If they want it bad enought, they're going to get it" rings true here. It's better piece of mind though.
Thanks Ford!
If I can get my son to "allow" me to use the digital video camera I bought him for graduation, I'll post some pics...go Tribe!
RE: kenhri
I think mine is weak for the so called 290 watts. Im going to put some cd's in it today hoping the quality will show. Im glad my dealer didn't bump my ordered price because of the change of price of the Pioneer System. Maybe we need to install a bigger woofer?
RE:stnewble
I applyed for a loan at (www.eloan.com) and got 7.5%. Walking into Ford with this when my truck came in I played dumb and asked what could they do for me. The best they could do was 9.5% for 60 months. I said I had prearranged financing at 7.5 After nearing the end of my deal the salesman said let us see if we can match it. They did!
I too had a 92 Explorer to sell which they were going to offer me only half of what I got selling it myself. I sold in 4 days. (www.kbb.com) I used this info and printed it and put it in my back window. It was better than any power bait I have used......
RE: stexwert
The KN filter you put in? How much did you pay and what was your part number?
Funny my Wilderness tires are not even mentioned in this site. Did I miss something?
According to my letter, I have a few more days to decide about purchasing the cover from Ford and I'm trying to decide. Do ST owners that have it like it? What are the positives of having it? What are the negatives? Is it easy to remove?
My impression at this point is that it would be great on a trip to protect items like luggage from rain and theft, but you're greatly limited on the cargo space. Certainly, the cargo cage doesn't seem compatible with it and one comes out or off to lie in my garage getting scratched or dented.
I've never had a cover and just don't have enough information to make a decision. I'd appreciate any thoughts!
Had the Ford hard T-cover put on 2 days before going on vacation - 2 golf bags, 3 duffle bags, a large cooler, 2 SportTrac R/C cars & room to spare (with the cage & bed mat still in) - worked great, with no leakage observed ... highly recommended !!
Ford card and another approx$600 coming from CitiBank Drivers Edge card ( it used to be a Ford card. Everyone should get a card from them--it's free money. Anyway, I already warned the dealer about this, so he won't be surprised when I pick up my ST in a few weeks!!!
Thoughts anyone? Any buyers out there? LOL!
It should be here in the next month. I spoke to Ford marketing (ST brand manager) a week ago and they said I was getting Firestones. Now I'm confused as usual and I know my dealer will not know anything about this either.
This is the first I've heard of this guide.
password harvest
This is Bob Kunkle's beautiful Harvest Gold ST...
OH, Try not to slobber...LOL
There are pictures of an Estate Green ST on the Yahoo Club page somewhere. It looks even better than I'd imagined!
Then click on Owners Gallery...
You'll see some good pics of Bob's harvest gold ST

Actually you don't need to remove the cover to use the cargo cage as you suggested. You can tie the back panel of the cover to the front tie hooks and with your tail gate down and cage extended, you still have a good amount of cargo room if you need it for tall items.
Plus, the cargo cage makes a nice divider when it's in the stowed position. And the cover protects the cage for theft which is also a plus.
So they can both work together.
Well, after 7 weeks of waiting, I finally squeezed some useful info. out of my salesperson.
My silver frost ST was assigned a build date of Sept. 21. It was like pulling teeth trying to get this info., and I finally drove to the dealer last night to speak one-on-one with the individual. He talked a good game when he took my order, but has not followed up and kept me informed.
Does anyone know where I can get a set of fog lights for the ST? The dealer quoted me a price of $379, which I thought was double what they should cost. Also, does anyone have the Ford part number for the mudguards?
Thanks in advance for any and all help! This site is a great way to learn and help others!
16A550 they only come black, but can be painted if you want,..... confused me, i assumed they came in the 'gray' like the molding and running boards, but i was WRONG! lol,
Thanks, again
