    • This is a 2014 Edge 3.5L SEL AWD with 161,000 miles.    For the past few weeks we now there has been a "thump" noise that is in sync with vehicle speed.  I can upload a video of the noise, but is is the sound of "thump","thump"-"thump"-"thump and gets faster with an increase in vehicle speeds up to highway speeds.  We were late in to a road-trip when it started.   We had a tire-shop rebalance the tires, no change in noise and frequency.     The inward pad on the driver side was worn almost down to backing of the pad.  The passenger side seemed to have even wear, however the piston was equally difficult to react as the driver and boot was torn up.    I changed the rear calipers.  The calipers were targeted as they needed an extreme amount of torque to spin the piston back into the caliper.  I tried to bleeder trick to determine if it was a bad caliper or brake hose, by pumping up the peddle 4 times and cracking open the bleeder screws.  They only dribbled out and I still needed way too much torque to spin the pistons back in.     Now, having replaced the calipers, the brakes work fine, however the parking brake doesn't seem to hold as well.  I'll work on that in another thread.  The passenger side holds better than the driver side.    The "thump" noise is still present while driving as slow as 2-3 miles per hour.     Before I reload the parts cannon with rear-wheel bearings, what further troubleshooting should I try next?
    • I’ve started the retrofit: currently installing the CCM with its own bracket and the IPM-A with its own bracket; I’m swapping the SCCM for button compatibility and adding an HCM module from a Galaxy so the matrix headlights work—the bus wiring had to be changed as well. I still need to swap the PSCM, but I have to put that on hold since I’ll be away for three weeks. I’ll add the configuration and all the details—including the parts used and more detailed photos—after the replacement is done.   -----------------The adaptive cruise control and lights are already working; for lane centering, I still need to replace the PSCM.        
    • I have a 2014 Edge Sport AWD 3.7 with 130k miles and just had the RDU's ATC replaced by a local stealership a couple months back after hearing sudden bad popping from the rear end when rolling. They said the ATC was bad and installed a new unit but never reported back on the condition of the RDU or the fluid condition even though I had replaced the fluid approx. 30k earlier. Now I hear mild whining from the rear end when driving after replacing the fluid again recently, and found some minor metal on the drain plug in the process. Now I think we need to look into replacing the whole RDU, and everywhere I look I can't seem to find a new replacement or a reasonable remanufactured one.   Does anyone have an idea where I can find a new unit to replace this one with, or a quality rebuilt one?.....I really don't want to go with any bone-yard replacement as I don't want to go through all the work to replace it with someone else's lack of maintenance.
    • I’m having exactly the same problem. I replaced the OEM oil pan with an aluminum one, and the issue cropped up on the highway at 170 km/h—or at around 145 km/h in "S" mode. In city and country driving, the car runs perfectly normally—just as zippy and agile as ever. It just doesn't like high speeds anymore. I’ve ordered an oil pressure sensor and a new oil filter. If that doesn't work, would I have to switch back to the plastic pan? Edge 170kmh.mp4
    • He is good for a laugh, but yes - I run synthetic filters (amsoil) and top quality engine oil in all of my engines.  Good quality fluids are cheap insurance in the long run.  He has another video on air filters that is also an interesting watch.  I mostly get some amusement out of his props.
    • He's not that smart. Great video though. It's nothing more than common sense. Run good quality products for maximum life. You can't go wrong with OEM for sure.  If anyone out there wants to be a dummy and go cheap, go ahead. Walmart oil? Cmon. There is a reason the good stuff cost more. Sure, some of it might be the name. But there is a reason. They are called influencers for a reason. They influence us in to doing stupid things.
    • I’ve definitely thought about a widebody 👀 It would look crazy on the Edge, especially with the lower aero already on it. The only thing holding me back is that this is still my daily, so I can’t really have it down for weeks doing custom bodywork. Maybe one day though  
    • What's up everyone. Figured I'd finally share my 2012 Ford Edge Limited build, WRAITH//EDGE. I wanted to do something different with the first-gen Edge and take it in more of an American VIP/stance direction rather than the typical SUV build. Current setup includes H&R lowering springs, chrome wheels, custom lower aero, smoked tails, rear spoiler, large exhaust tips, resonator delete and Flowmaster Super 40. A lot of the exterior work has been DIY/custom because there isn't much aftermarket support for this generation. Still refining some details, but this is where it sits now. Curious what other Edge owners think—and I'd especially like to see any other modified 2007–2014 Edges still around.
    • Welcome.   The only suggestion I have is to use an auto-switching type of adapter instead of the elm327 manual switch adaptor.   I recommend this: OBDLink MX+ OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner
