Congrats, good luck!

Welcome Stacey! At first I thought it was a driveshaft or axle making the noise. Is it from the right side only or from either side or ...? The alignment of the halfshaft may have been disturbed within the PTU when the driveshaft was installed, or when brakes were done. Should also check the sway bar links, they can make all kinds of sounds. If it is a brake problem, the brake caliper piston is likely not releasing properly, which means it was not lubricated properly, or possibly damaged during retraction for pad change. May have to change caliper to resolve.

If you don't already have an HID setup, the best route currently is to go with DTBL/drivebright's product offering. You can certainly have success with other aftermarket suppliers, but with a bit more risk.

Does look interesting. Would it look as good with the lights turned on?

made ME wanna go 24's!!!

Whatever happens, I hope they don't stick you into an Accent for your trips! Also hope they respect why you have Lulubelle in the first place.

If you want to try it yourself, here is the procedure from a 2007 FSM to give you an idea. May be different for 2011, so I'd recommend getting a DVD or PDF from EBay to be sure.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering Depowering Procedure WARNING: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment. WARNING: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Failure to follow this instruction may result in air bag deployment, which may result in serious personal injury. WARNING: Never probe the electrical connector on a side air curtain module. Failure to follow this instruction may result in side air curtain module deployment. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices. NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraints system (SRS) fault. NOTE: The supplemental restraints system (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer. Turn all vehicle accessories OFF.Turn the ignition switch to OFF.At the smart power distribution junction box (SPDJB), located in the LH lower kick panel, remove the lower kick panel fuse cover and the restraints control module (RCM) fuse 46 (7.5A) from the (SPDJB). For additional information, refer to the Wiring Diagram Manual.Turn the ignition ON and visually monitor the air bag warning indicator for at least 30 seconds. The air bag warning indicator will remain lit continuously (no flashing) if the correct RCM fuse has been removed. If the air bag warning indicator does not remain lit continuously, remove the correct RCM fuse before proceeding.Turn the ignition switch to OFF. WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply must be depleted before repairing or installing any new front or side air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) components and before servicing, installing, adjusting or striking components near the front or side air bag sensors, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and hood latches. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury. The front impact severity sensors are located on the radiator support under the front bumper cover. The first row side impact sensors are located at or near the base of the B-pillars. The second row side impact sensors are located on the C-pillars. To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped). Disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute. For additional information, refer to Section 414-01 .Repowering Procedure Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON.Install RCM fuse 46 (7.5A) to the SPDJB and install the lower kick panel fuse cover. WARNING: Be sure that nobody is in the vehicle and that there is nothing blocking or set in front of any air bag module when the battery ground cable is connected. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury. Connect the battery ground cable.Prove out the SRS as follows: Turn the ignition switch from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition switch back to ON and visually monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag warning indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn OFF. If an air bag SRS fault is present, the air bag warning indicator will: — fail to light. — remain lit continuously. — flash at a 5 Hz rate (RCM not configured). The air bag warning indicator might not light until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired. Clear all continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the RCM and occupant classification sensor (OCS) module using a scan tool.

Welcome to the forum, and we forgive you for not making yourself known earlier Remember, it may SEEM like a trans problem, but may actually be an engine problem such as worn out spark plugs, clogged fuel injectors, COPs, etc. I really hope the fluid is at least at the right level. You can certainly change the fluid (Mercon V: Motorcraft, Castrol or even major auto store brand; can do better with full synthetics if desired), just not flush it. Use the 3x drain & fill method to simulate a flush. Get trans warmed up. Park the Edge on level ground. Row through the gears with foot on brake to make sure fluid is forced to move in & out of the torque converter. Make sure to PARK it, then turn engine off. Raise on jackstands/lift as needed. Loosen trans pan drain bolt & drain fluid. Approx 5 quarts should come out. Hopefully no metal shards/minimum flakes. Close drain pan bolt. Fill the same amount as came out/5 quarts expected. Start engine, run for 5 minutes, row through the gears a few times to commingle old & new fluid. Drive briefly if you want, but not more than 5 minutes so you don't overheat the fluid. Repeat steps 2-9, then 2-8 for final drain & fill. Probably put in 15 new quarts in all. Fluid should now be a nice healthy pinkish color. And yes, you CAN do it yourself IF you are comfy working underneath a vehicle & are used to taking appropriate precautions. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/2040-transmission-fluid-replace/ http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/12917-2009-edge-sel-awd-transmission-plan/

This thread to "reset" the liftgate might be just what you need: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/3529-liftgate-ding-ding-ding/page-2 Might actually end up needing a sensor replaced or wiring patched or rust cleaned from contacts etc., but give this a go ... And seriously think about a new battery with a reset of the Battery Management System (if the Edge is so equipped) anyway. Batteries are tasked with a lot of work these days, and 3-4 year lifespans are ordinary.

An Aeroforce gauge should be an option for anyone looking for a nice addition and some "simple" displays. These are very accurate. If you get two, they might have a gauge pod to mount to the center speaker panel area for your application. If just one, many have mounted it to the top of the steering column, behind the wheel.

Nice upgrades, got it looking GOOD!

Being in Maine & those winters I am sure take a toll on anything under the car, especially the brakes. Heck, if there's a light layer of rust on them in the morning if humidity is even a little high, imagine what happens when it's snowpacked & salty out there! Check & clean everything: rotors, pads, calipers, slide pins, EBrake cables, brake hoses, etc. at least once a year after winter is over.

Welcome, & congrats on the '13 Sport! How about some pics of your ride to go along with the intro

Joy when all works well. Thanks for the update!!!

Congrats on an excellent find, and welcome to the community! Remember to keep an eye on the PTU and do frequent (every 30-40K miles) fluid changes on the PTU and RDU. They should last a long time if you do that. We will forgive you your Mazda chain of ownership Mazda is kinda kin to Ford ...

You did good by your rides!

The PTU is definitely a major area of contention where Ford quality is concerned. As previously stated, there should be a drain plug, and there should be a service interval on it and the RDU, for best service life. We can all cherrypick vehicles that last "forever" with no major repairs. People will quote you Mercedes D series that run for 1000000 miles with only 10 oil changes + cost of fuel. Is that representative of the entire population? No. I can quote you my dad's '97 Intrepid 3.3L, that is slowly falling apart at 140K (poor American quality as everyone knows), but has received regular maintenance. Not like new, but it has a heart of gold. Does that mean I would buy Dodge forever? No. Having a long warranty from KIA doesn't mean you will get a quality part in the long run, that's been a marketing tool for a long time, up to you whether you fall for it. Sometimes when you are on the bleeding edge of product introductions, you ARE taking a risk. If you bought a 2007 Edge new, no way to know what could happen at that time. As for bleeding BLUE, not quite. RED/WHITE/BLUE maybe, but not just BLUE Seriously, I was a GM fan (still was until the whole 2008 thing), still like the products, just not the reliability in the long term. On average, Ford has done the best for me, so I stick with Ford. But I would not do without an extended warranty for sure, it is a lifesaver these days, with all the electronics and non-DIY parts/service involved.

Seems like failsafe mode was triggered. A bit more detail about your Edge, please: AWD or FWD? Why did the transmission have to be replaced? New/Rebuilt/Used replacement? Did any lights saying SERVICE ADVANCETRAC or something similar come on? A wrench symbol? Did the PCM have any stored codes? Is the trans fluid level/condition OK? Very possible that, assuming all connections were hooked up properly when the trans was replaced, that one or more wheel speed sensors is faulty. Could be a rusty/dirty/broken ABS tone ring(s). Or the brakes at one (or more) corner(s) are sticking. Not uncommon for the rear brakes to stick, causing the brakes to work against the engine.

Yeah, multiple hits to the head = not good.

NICE!

Imagine how they might be in winter time!

The winters can indeed be quite bad in NY, and I have heard that the roads have improved in Rochester since I was there last, but then it was like driving from pothole to pothole! As far as remote start, I believe you are correct. The "definitive" thread is this one, I am sure you have already referred to it: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/17035-adding-oem-remote-start-kits-parts-explained-detailed-2011/

Welcome, James, congrats on the '11 Cinnamon Edge! Nice looking Focuses (Focii???) as well! Quite a transition from AZ to NY, bet you don't miss the 50C heat

If the F150 2.7 EB is similar to the 3.5 EB offering, it will have upgraded internals (forged crank & connecting rods for example) & bigger turbos to support the power.
