^^^ seconded. Welcome and congrats!

Only the truck based 3.5EB has the dual injection systems currently in production. May migrate to the smaller engines as well, don't know. Hardly a new setup for overseas manufacturers.

Yeah, RDU also needs regular servicing, recommendation is generally at every other PTU fluid change, as the RDU is not taxed nearly as much as the PTU is. Now some people like to test the limits of AWD, shall we say , and in that case, may benefit from doing the PTU and RDU together. The main difference would still be that anytime the vehicle is in gear (anything but P or N), the PTU is engaged. The RDU is an on demand system, plus has significantly greater fluid capacity than the PTU.

Pretty easy to do for both components, DIY. There ARE professional services for induction cleaning that are worth it if you don't normally use top tier gas. Every year or couple of years, say. Do you have an ecoboost or the 3.5L engine in your Edge? GDI fuel induction services really do help, as intank cleaners are not that effective over time. Valvoline, BG offer specific services for GDI, others may also at the pro level.

Sweet ride! Welcome

Cleanside vs dirtyside, as they call it in PCV lingo. The idea is to draw in fresh air from the clean side (i.e., the bank 2 or radiator side valve cover), and push out the vapors through the PCV valve on the dirty side (bank 1, or firewall side cover) on the V6. Actively managing vapors created during normal operation and preventing deposits from forming inside the engine, and more importantly, meeting EPA goals.

The test Ford does is to see if the heater core is clogged, as laid out in the document. Since the tubes in the heater core are very narrow, they are the canary in the coal mine, I guess. No idea if there is any visible indication in the coolant itself, or it would have been mentioned. I suppose you could have coolant analyzed to confirm the presence of foreign matter. There might be some buildup in the overflow tank/degas bottle, but that usually is simply additives that have dropped out of solution. Answer: change the coolant! Knowing this to be a potential problem, the question is why not implement a KNOWN solution and be on the safe side. I assume Ford stopped using the painted crossover tubes, but maybe not. Regardless, the answer is to CHANGE THE COOLANT. Motorcraft Orange began to be used sometime in July 2011, so 2012 MYs and up use it. For your Edge, the PEAK coolant needed is the Universal Extended Life 5/150K coolant, which is fluorescent green/yellow in color. It might work in place of the Orange as well, since it meets the ASTM spec. As far as materials used in production, I would have no idea. Suppliers change, quality changes, specifications change. That level of detail is almost never visible to us as outsiders, and MAY be hinted at if the part number is revised. It is a fallacy to try and assume the details from the summary, so to speak. Assume, as they say, and you make an ASS out of U and ME, LOL.

Unlikely, probably happened over time, did not get noticed, and added up. Pretty typical today, with computer systems extracting every last drop from physical systems, and owners/drivers expecting to see a check engine light for the smallest of problems. CELs are reserved for occasions when the computer cannot overcome a fault in the system. Thus they MUST be taken seriously when seen, temporary or not.

The PCM can usually be repaired, you can send it over to circuitboardmedics.com for evaluation. If it cannot be repaired by them, it only costs you shipping, IIRC. P1000 is a code that is set when the PCM is reset, such as when battery is disconnected for an extended period of time. Not necessarily an indicator of issues. You will need to verify that the coil drivers in the PCM are intact, otherwise you are stuck in a loop replacing the coils as they will get burnt out time and time again. P0206 is pointing to a fuel injector problem, either in the harness or with the injector itself. I would suspect injector unless you have pest-related damage to the engine wiring. https://www.obd-codes.com/p0206 Replace all 6 injectors at one time to make it easier on yourself. Motorcraft or Denso should work well. P2272 is an o2 sensor stuck lean. This is the post cat sensor on the radiator side. Cats are usually the last to fail, and the problem originates upstream - pcm, coil, plug, injector, etc. So fix the upstream problem first, then clear codes and see what comes back. https://www.obd-codes.com/p2272 Loss of power could also be clogged cats, but no code yet, thankfully.

Ford should have this available in their catalog, I would think. RockAuto.com is showing a radiator fan relay connector (and also a motor connector): https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,2007,edge,3.5l+v6,1434490,electrical-connector,radiator+fan+relay+connector,18946 but it is not the right part.

Good products from a good company

Nicely done! Which lights did you go with?

Welcome to the community, and congrats on the new ride! Believe it or not, the first "mods" for performance and mileage ... getting all fluids up to date - transmission, PTU/RDU (AWD), coolant, power steering, brake etc. Then you have a solid foundation to build on. Is the engine 2.0EB or naturally aspirated 3.5?

Wow, no wonder you took the deal!

Catch can might not be needed for moderate driving, but enthusiast driving, yes, certainly advisable. A few installations have already been done and documented, so you do have a path to follow. Somewhat more involved is setting up the engine for methanol injection, tho if using solely to keep the valves clean does not require a tune, simply plumbing/reservoir.

The Ford model for this work is generally to replace the entire BAMR due to the lack of availability of these small repair parts. So the owner's best resort is to either have a glass co seal the BAMR shut, OR to find a replacement in a JY. You COULD find someone to custom make these parts for you, all depends on how much effort you put into int. Plastic parts can be 3D printed assuming a proper base material is used to withstand the abuse the parts are expected to face.

Serious damage, that is. Hope no one was on there at the time! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours
