Newbie (1/14)

  1. Just a FYI, 1 year later, I've was able to borrow a digital heat gun from someone I know. I set the temp to 340 degrees and started directing the heat on both visor's where that seatbelt warning sticker is located. The hardest part was getting an edge to begin to peal away. Once I got about 1/8 of an inch sticking down, I could grab it with 2 fingernails and it pulled away very nicely. Then it became a piece of cake to pull the sticker off. No residue was left on the fabric. And their has been no discoloration from heat. It never felt hot to the touch anyways. I then went to my old '00 Explorer and tried to do one of those. That was paint applied to the fabric. Not a good idea on that.
  2. Oh, don't tell me your still upset, that someone dropped a house on your sister? You got to get over it. How's that free company car running, that you have? Love that Avatar. Is that really your eyes?
  3. Yea ... so will all you HATERS, just leave Brittney here, ALONE!! (little hint to help you out further in your life,, thought you'd of known this by now, when you keep your mouth shut, people thought you were smart, but you opened it and dispelled all doubt)
  4. Yes we do, your quite the joke going on in the background actually. 1 person seems to be answering your questions,and that has been feeding you. It's pretty safe to say that the rest don't want to participate with you. I'm just waiting for your next report as to when you have wiped your backside, that's about the only thing you haven't written about yet
  5. Notice right below the double wing grill? Here is the MKT
  6. According to ford's official release yesterday: Not one mention was made of the Edge. Mr. Kiley could be just speculating at this point as to a time line.
  7. Is their a good reason for not pulling yours and taking a look?
  8. No, you probably won't, But you will see an increase in internal engine wear, and that would show up in an oil analyst. But most of you probably don't take samples and send them off. AutoAnything.com http://www.autoanything.com/brands/102A399.aspx K&N Filter Recharge Kit (From $19.95) K&N Air Filters (from $26.50) So for the same amount of money as a good paper filter sold by Ford or any parts store, it's about the same amount of money for 100K miles, with the added benifit of no increase in gas mileage and Increased engine wear.

  10. Other than a lot of speculation, I don't think I ever heard the exact reason, they held shipment up at the original launch date. I definitely feel pain here on these issues, however, lets put a few thing's to rest.. In jest it's easy to mention a 'Monday' problem. But what is a Monday when 3 shifts are working and your on a 7 day operation? Or you get 1-2 days off a month? These parts, all of them go along a sequence.. Most are run to DCP's,, by this guy today, and the next step tomorrow night, but by someone else. Everyone is concerned about quality. From the person who makes a part to that man's boss. Granted some problems should have NEVER left Oakville. Paint, bad door seems, etc. This CD3 platform is using a brand new Engine, Transmission and drive-line. Original model run was a hopeful 100K/yr. Due to this design success "the Mustang of CUV's" for the first year, that goal was a 175% SUCCESS. This is one of the problems as to why it's hard to get service parts to a dealership. Even assuming this is just a small seal problem, These are design/tested in Cold extremes to see if unforeseen design problems show up. I know of assembly line problems where a certain part was inadvertently left out. No particular fail-safe was there to detect it, the completed part made it all the way thru a functional test. The defect was never caught until the vehicle was in service. These thing's happen. What's NOT OK, is when it happens to YOU. I have a Sony TV that the Light block was just replaced in it Wed. 1.5 yrs old $800. Warranty. I once asked a company that just installed a new assembly line in a plant: Cost of the line was $15 Mil. I asked, what was the cost of the warranty on that? I got an answer, $1.5 Mil. So you see, everything has the potential to break, and manufacturers offer warranties, and you ultimately pay for it, because we are all human. Most items are designed for a working life of 10 years in almost every field. IF you want it to last longer than that, you couldn't afford it. Every service department will be glad to work on your problem, that is where they make money, the cost is billed back to Ford. You've already paid for it, when you bought your vehicle.
  11. What? something along the lines of THIS?
  12. It's the storage space surrounding your spare tire. Without it, it would be occupied with Foam Blocks.
