Since ABS is engaging, check the wheel speed sensor and tone ring on both front axles. You now have reason to.

Hmm. Still no rattles on my 2007. And I drive it pretty hard. Not as hard as Xtra, but pretty hard.

That TPMS sensor is throwing me off. It's just way too complicated. :whistling:

yeah low profile tires

3.5EB transverse have the internal WP, 3.5EB longitudinal have the external WP. Really the truck has the updated 3.5 engine since it has TiVCT. The transverse engine is still VCT based. The WPs in the EBs in Gen 2 are all external.

PCM tuning is always on the table. As more experience is gained, better, more diversified and more reliable products are created. So even with what Ford provides, there will be more room

Engine: water pump is timing chain driven. If the timing chain develops slack (typically heard as rattle on startup, gets longer over time), it will cause the water pump to wobble. Bad on bearings. Plus the water pump is not isolated from the crankcase. So if it fails/seals leak, the coolant will go straight to the oil pan. Hence the recommendation to pay attention to oil & coolant both. If an overheating situation occurs, pull over as soon as safely possible, do not drive further. This will save the engine, so repairs will be worth it if you don't want to replace the engine. Engine oil highly recommend FULL synthetic brand name. Replace the spark plugs ASAP. Inspect, if not replace the coils as well. Overwide plugs lead to failed coils when then fry the PCM. No bueno. Ford has a kit available for cheap with coils, plugs, and intake gasket. I would do the whole shebang and save the original coils if they look good. Clean the MAF sensor with MAF cleaner. Clean the throttle body too but make sure to disconnect the electrical connector from the TPS first so the throttle blade doesn't snap your finger off These parts have not needed replacement en masse yet, but they are aging. Transmission: watch out for jerky/hard shifts or difficulty accelerating or a blank display on the odometer. This is typical of TSS/OSS sensor failure. Replace both, not one or the other. Check out trans fluid. If color and condition look good/free of debris, exchange out the fluid performing 3-4x drain/fills. Use Valvoline Full Synthetic MaxLife ATF (yes it iS Mercon V compatible). Certain states like California prohibit aftermarket ATF, but I think you are safe in TX so far anyway Since your Edge is a FWD, you have avoided the failure components that cause so many complaints/headaches LOL. Brakes/ABS: the most usual complaint is ABS warnings due to cracked tone rings, which CAN be repaired, but per the manual, requires axle replacement. Your choice. Inspect brakes at least yearly. Clean/grease the slide pins at that time. Inboard brake pads being significantly worn compared to outboard indicates need to replace rotors/pads. Pistons are rarely found to be at fault, but inspect the seals to be sure. Hot weather is heck on paint, rubber, you name it. Suspension/Body/Steering: Liftgate struts - replace with Sachs or Motorcraft units as needed. Definitely your Edge is ripe for strut/strut mount and shock replacement if not done recently. We get used to a worn down ride over time, you will definitely enjoy the like-new ride! Inspect for rust spots (prob safe down in TX). Protect with Fluid Film. Wheel bearings were a weak spot, particularly in the rear. Front wheel bearings are kits now, have to be assembled. Rears are preassembled with hubs. SKF > Timken > Motorcraft. One & done. Most other brands will prove to be inferior. control arms go Motorcraft. sway bar links go Moog. Electronics: probably the single biggest one is the BAMR or Vista Roof. If you have it, get into the habit of cleaning/greasing the rail mechanism once if not twice yearly. Head unit/Sync/BT - better off replacing with aftermarket units with all the gizmos, will probably need a steering wheel control interface etc to go with. I will plug macbwt's MACTFORDEDGE youtube channel, as it is all Ford Edge all the time LOL. Yes, even moments of fun happen! Even more data on mactgarage.com. HTH.

Reputation is well-deserved then. Thanks for the followup!

Seems to me some basic maintenance is in order at this mileage: plugs, pcv valve, maf/tb cleaning, engine air filter, etc. Since the codes are on BOTH banks, the problem likely lies upstream with an element they have in common.

Ooooo a GN! Welcome to the community, and congrats on the new ride!

Steel rotors vary based on carbon content. High carbon steel rotors are what you want for reliability/durability especially when paired with ceramic pads. No experience with cryo rotors, tho I hear cryo rotors are stronger than cast due to realignment of the crystalline structure of the metal.

For me, performance is built from the ground up. So tires, wheels, brakes, suspension, THEN powertrain mods. Would definitely have been nice to have the 3.0 in there, if they did not hamstring the transmission like they did in the MKZ or the Continental.

Welcome to the community, and congrats on the '17 2.0EB! Post up pics of both your rides

Welcome!

Sorry to hear about your PT, good luck in your search for the right Edge. How many miles on the 2008? Changing all fluids, tires, suspension bits are likely highest on the list if it otherwise drives well. Change the cabin air filter too Changing tranmission fluid regularly is key to minimizing TSS/OSS sensor issues. Changing coolant regularly and using full synthetic engine oil will help reduce the possibility of water pump/timing chain issues. Changing power steering fluid will keep the steering gear running longer. Wheel bearings were an issue on 2007-8 MYs in particular, so that could be an issue down the road.

Welcome to the community, and congrats on the new ride, and am liking the idea of spending the wife's money. LOL.

Dang that sucks! Only 1 year into the warranty

Isnt there a 12V outlet in the hatch area? Not sure if it turns off automatically when the vehicle turns off or if there is a delay.

Yes, there is some electronics in the camera. Looks like replacement is required. Get Ford/OEM and calibrate with Forscan. There periodically are lower-priced deals on eBay (compared to dealer pricing).

Xtra has Rotora BBK on his Sport. How MUCH of an upgrade do you want/need?

Nobody wants to pay for a tool that costs more than a set of plugs LOL, but it IS the correct way to do it.
