If you can hook up your ride to a charger on the weekend, a lo-amp charger will work great, tho it will take time. I used the 3A Battery Tender to infuse life back into the battery in our Fusion (a really odd size battery), and it worked perfectly.

Nice find! So looks like your Edge is due for water pump change. Also change timing chains, tensioners, VCT solenoids etc while in there.

very cool, congrats!

You are correct with "true" torque vectoring. But Ford mimics it with EBD, ESC, etc. The driveshaft does not spin in Park or Neutral. And yes, the power sent to the rear is signaled by the 4x4 module sent to the ATC solenoid sent to the RDU.

Welcome to the community, and congrats on the new ride!

Early stages of water pump failure, very likely. Very rarely, hoses do fail, so I would check the overflow hose from the degas bottle to the radiator.

Well, there's the amount of power sent to the RDU, and there's the amount of power applied/speed allowed at a specific wheel (e.g., torque vectoring). At launch, at least in the 15+ SHOs, ~100% power is applied to the rear wheels momentarily to gain the advantage of RWD, and then back to normal AWD/FWD operation. What percentage of power is sent to the RDU in an EdgeMKX, and has it changed over the years? I am sure it has for Gen 2, but if we can figure it out for all years, that would be kool

8 oz of the Permatex is about 16$ and 5 oz of the CRC is about $18 right now on Amazon. Permatex is slightly better at low temps (-65F vs -50F) but both protect to 3,000F. In comparison, the Permatex Ultra Temperature Range: -40°F to 400°F (-40° to 204°C)

The sooner people order, the better. Custom parts tend to have a very finite availability lifespan compared to OEM.

OT, but evilkid, did you trade in your Edge, or add the 2018 to the collection?

From 2015+? I suppose if you replaced the arm also. The 15+ is a 15", the 2007-14 is a 14" blade. Fronts are 28/20 vs 26/20. The spring pressures should be the same, I would think, but don't know about the attachment method. 2015 EDGE 1 FT4Z-17526-A Wiper Arm Rear Arm EDGE $21.38 $14.75 2 -W708312-S442 Wiper Arm Nut $1.00 $0.58 3 DS7Z-17C526-A Wiper Arm Cap $3.95 $2.73 4 FT4Z-17528-D Blade Assembly - Wiper Rear Blade EDGE $17.48 $13.06 2013 EDGE 1 9T4Z-17526-A Wiper Arm Assembly Rear Arm $24.20 $16.70 2 -W708312-S441 Wiper Arm Nut $2.98 $1.71 3 7T4Z-17C526-B Wiper Arm Cap $4.77 $3.29 5 7T4Z-17528-AC Rear Blade $17.48 $13.06

This was not the case originally, AFAIK. Possibly changed sometime after the 2012MY, based on reports from SHOs. Once Jason (jmr061) started providing the capability for people to enable the AWD system display, it came easy to tell.

Forscan Lite can clear up MANY mysteries. The tools are out there, folks, let's start using them!

Welcome to the forum! O you are in for some FUN!

DA about the same both times? That is a pretty solid gain for "just a pipe".

There is a purge valve I think, but Ford probably lists it as a "hose assembly". Seen that a LOT lately. On the 3.5 EB, you can actually find the purge valve as a separate part. But on smaller engines, assemblies are much more common.

a fellow member thought he had found a drain line, but unfortunately turned out not to be the case ... one day I will have a Gen 2 shop manual to explore & dissect LOL

Not seeing any drain lines listed for Gen 2 on dealer sites. Might be there but not listed. Parts diags do not show the line at all for Gen 2.

NO comparison!

the "lag" is typical of Ford factory programming, and can be eliminated with a tune. IDK if there is tuning support for the diesel versions yet.

Yes, still 134a. Yes, still that easy. Hopefully no system leak, or at least a VERY slow one! Might want to get a UV light and check the compressor and lines in the engine bay. Usually the compressor will leak, sometimes the Schrader valve at the ports, and sometimes the evaporator. NOTE: Fluorescent refrigerant system dye is added to the refrigerant system at the factory to assist in refrigerant system leak diagnosis using a Rotunda-approved UV blacklight. It is not necessary to add additional dye to the refrigerant system before diagnosing leaks, even if a significant amount of refrigerant has been removed from the system. Replacement suction accumulators and receiver/driers are shipped with a fluorescent dye "wafer" included in the desiccant bag which will dissolve after approximately 30 minutes of continued A/C operation. It is not necessary to add dye after flushing or filtering the refrigerant system because a new suction accumulator or receiver/drier is installed as part of the flushing or filtering procedure. Additional refrigerant system dye should only be added if more than 50% of the refrigerant system lubricant capacity has been lost due to a fitting separation, hose rupture or other damage.

Possibly need a PCM and/or Instrument Cluster recalibration? Did you pull codes, might be a clue there? Sounds like power cut out, which could have caused the EOP light to flash. If this happened after going over a big bump of some sort, it is worth checking the fuses in the engine compartment. They can become unseated sometimes. Had this happen on an EB F150.

Sorry to hear about your dad 1. EVAP Purge Valve on firewall is a common cause of EVAP codes for Gen 1.5 2. Most likely a camera replacement will be needed. Make sure you have the latest version of Sync first tho. 3. Can be fixed in one of many ways. Replace the door latch, install a bypass switch, etc.

Any number of seals are a possibility, including case housing and torque converter housing. Usually seen thru axle seals tho.

TBH, I could not begin to tell you. Ford simply refers to these bundles as hose assemblies and it is up to you to guess if it is the right one. A trip to the dealer is in order, I think. Take pics of the part in question so they can identify it easier. Look for stamped part numbers on the hoses and components.
