    • So does it sound like It's up to date based on the message for today's date?
    • 2026 Update   Recently acquired our second Edge - 24 Titanium Elite.  Upon giving it its first bath, I assumed something was missing when I washed the rear bumper and the cover felt like it was dangling.  Well it was wasn't it?   Anyway, I wound up at this thread when I researched the situation.   I ordered the FT4Z-5811778-C from here:  https://ford.oempartsonline.com/oem-parts/ford-floor-pan-splash-shield-ft4z5811778c   I ordered the screws from here (perfect fit as received):  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P7BC91P?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title   I did not see the need to add the center screw as I had planned.  It is solid as is.  I do note that one of the pictures (added below) in this thread shows the "wings" mounted over the plastic piece on the sides.  I looked at our 18 Edge and notticed that the deflector was mounted under the side pieces which may bring the center up tighter to the spare tire well than if mounted on top of the side pieces.     There were no mods required at all on this vehicle - all six screw holes were present.   Thanks to all for the contributions to this thread!
    • ok searched EJ7T-9G768-AF on ford.com says only works for mkc  i do think this is reason. 
    • might be right as i can not find where it said the one i bought was the upgraded part.  here is oem next to used mkc. they seem very close so i believe i had the right info.   
    • Generally the differential oils contain friction modifiers which cause issues with wet clutches.    Similar reason why its not good to use car engine oil in a motorcycle due to the wet clutch - motorcycle engine oil does not contain friction modifiers.   Redline and Amsoil are top rated, so if they put it in writing that their oil is compatible I'd trust that. The Redline website kind-of indicates that its compatible.   Interesting discussion here: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/rear-differential-rdu-fluid-amsoil-alternative.401168/   And here: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/rdu-rear-diff-non-oem-fluid-change-motocraft-xy-75w-qd-is-roughly-equivalent-to-a-synchromesh-gl-4-manual-transmission-fluid-not-a-gear-oil.75331/
    • I had no idea either.  I thought it had to be done by the dealership.     I did this a year ago but, IIRC, I tried it a couple of times because it looked like it was doing nothing, just spinning its wheel.  Eventually I just let it ride for a while before it started working.  Remember that how long it takes is partially determined by your WiFi connection and network traffic.   I believe I finally did an internet search to find the correct way to do the update install and that is how I got it to work.
    • I don't disagree with you but that doesn't mean they are the only game in town.  I do use Motorcraft oils because  1.)  As you said above   and   2.) Many times they are equal or lower in price than a competitor, ie; Redline or Motul.  However, the RDU Disconnect fluid is stupidly overpriced so I went looking for an alternative.   When I called Redline's Tech Service line, they stated that their MT-LV 70W/75W  ( Full Synthetic ) meets that specification of the Motorcraft Disconnect Rear Drive Unit Fluid XY-75W-QL.   I don't just swap out one for another without researching alternatives.  As far as I could find, only Redline clearly stated that their MT-LV 70W/75W  ( Full Synthetic ) meets that specification of the Motorcraft Disconnect Rear Drive Unit Fluid XY-75W-QL.  No one else did.   I'll spend 1/2 the price on a known product line that I have been using for years.
    • I had no idea you could do the updates from the display. I just went and checked, and it said the updates are current as of today's date 8-22-26. When I touch the Scan for Updates button I get the spinning circles. How long should I have to wait to see what updates might come up? It is connected to WIFI.
    • I have re-read your post and noticed that the VIN you posted for the vehicle if the new CCM is actually a Lincoln MKC, not MKX. The MKC is totally different, maybe the CCM is not compatible regardless of loaded software and calibration. 
    • Generally I would agree with you, but I have not seen Ford develope a "specific" oil for no reason. Usually their oils have some spec and the manual would state you should use an oil that meets their minimum spec, for the "disconnect" PTU and RDU used on 2019+ Edges, I don't recall reading the same.    In the link for for redline MT-LV specs you posted, it is clearly stated: MT-LV, MTL, MT-85 & MT-90 are not for use in differentials with hypoid gears Additionally, the OEM compatibility does not include Ford's disconnect oil.
