  1. According to the package, the operating range is 7-15 volts, 100-1200 CCA.
  2. Haven't taken mine in yet (no gas smell, no leaks). My local dealer told me it's usually one day (they will give loaner if it goes over) for a FWD, and up to three days for AWD. Reason for up to three days, if tank is found leaking, they impound car until new tank is received and installed. They have FWD tanks in stock and have to order AWD tanks. Said they didn't expect to find a faulty AWD tank. Different I guess.
  3. If you search for speakers for a 2013 edge on Amazon, you get several 6x8 that pops up. Example: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0032FOKAQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1455320478&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=2013+ford+edge+speaker Probably was too deep.
  4. I should mention that I had developed a stutter last year, took it in for normal service, and they found an injector was clogged (or partly clogged). Had them clean the injectors, they ran a cleaner through each injector, seemed to work, no stutter afterwards. Guess I should run a cleaner more often than once a year. Service agent thought it had more to do where I had bought my gas - had been travelling and stopped at a couple or small stations. May had gotten some old Ethanol. As I had bought used, figured it was just because the previous owner had not used any cleaner while he owned it.
  5. Sooooo, after watching your video, I decided to break down and buy one. First test on wifie poo's car and yellow LED. Battery needs a charge. (Oh come now, she just drove home and it was fully charged). It was showing 11.78 volts.... and 477 CCA. Next morning (yesterday), it didn't have enough to start. Found one of the map lights had been left on. Tested it tonight after she got home an 15.1 volts 736 CCA and green LED. (650 CCA battery). So I tested my battery in the MKX. Starts every time, strong, looks clean, no problems, right. 14.71 volts.... Got a red LED and 559 cca (650 CCA battery). Battery works great, passed a Ford garage test, and still got a red LED. Must be a defective cell, so I guess I'll be buying a new battery. (Snort) Both cars passed charging system tests. (Great way to see what's going on without a hassle). Thanks for posting this, it really is a great way to (really) test batteries.
  6. Sorry for your loss. I know what a good lawn/garden tractor means to a man. I have a Simplicity. A "good" Deere (NOT the one's you find at the big box stores), over a Cub. (Not the tractor it used to be). No contest. Take a second look at Simplicity. Some nice features as well.
  7. Yea, lawn mower engines can do this just from mowing on a grade (don't really have pressurized journals until you get into lawn tractor sized engines).
  8. Based my response on the car "worked fine on the way home". Based on that, I assumed the service tech did the testing to ensure it was fixed. Did they check the throttle body position sensor? Believe that could cause this.
  9. Mac, I believe that the op stated they had changed out the transmission sensors as part of the 4-week repair.
  10. My error. On my Lincoln, I believe that they are separate lights. I've never noticed any shutter. Thanks for the explanation.
  11. He didn't state that the oil pressure light had come on. My guess is the engine had a journal blocked by crud.
  12. Oh now, now, now. I replaced my cabin air filter last month and, I swear, I'm getting 2 miles more per gallon.
  13. 09 and 10 model years are both relatively trouble free (taken in context). I have an 09 MKX and love it. Given the choices between the two you are giving, I would go with the 2010. It has small upgrades over the 09 and (more importantly), has navigation. No big deal if you don't use it, but a big deal if you decide you wish you had it better. I'm all for haggling over price, I got them to come down a grand (about what I wxpected), and a "slight" improvement on an extended warranty. Haggle, but see if you can get them to throw in an extended warranty.
  14. Do you know if they adjusted the high beams down, or the low beams up?
  15. Weathertech's in my MKX and that's all I give for Christmas.
  16. Anything here that would help? http://www.dashkitspecialties.com/dash_kits_ford.html
  17. And he his warranty hasn't run out,... yet.Of course it's a gamble. So is buying life insurance. I bought an extended warranty on an Escort years ago, developed problems idling. Ran as it had a race cam in it, loping and very poor performance. Took it in and after a week they called in the area rep. Tried everything and finally figured out that the cam shaft had not been hardened properly, was "shredding" steel and changed to shape of the lobes. Total cost was more than if I would have paid for a new engine, but only cost me $100 plus I had the use of a loaner. All it takes is one problem to use up your initial investment. And on a used vehicle, there's a lot that can fail in a AWD car. Electronics everywhere, sensors on everything, computers controlling every aspect of the car, complicated drivetrains;there's just to much that can go wrong. Personally I would rather have the piece of mind knowing I'm covered for the big stuff.
  18. You bought your Edge new in 2012 and this was the first time you changed the air filter? Ah, that's the problem, you waited too long, your air cleaner housing probably shrunk.
  19. No, they're not, but it's a common enough problem. I think it has more to do with "how" the car was driven, more so than how many miles it's seen. But, anything mechanical will fail eventually. For my 2 cents would urge to buy the Edge that has "all" the bells & whistles. The more goodies, the better. And most importantly, buy the best extended warranty you can afford. (No matter what car/brand/model you buy). A grand up front may just end up covering a serious problem later. So far I've used only about 70% of mine, just on "little" things, broken vacuum hose, stuff like that. Not the parts, it's the service labor.
  20. I like Redbow's solution. (Looks great!) Wood always looks better, especially when it's good quality; a source of pleasure for years to come.
  21. Check Ebay. Seen a new one on there for $250.

  23. There's one currently on ebay for $240 and buy it now. Grab it if you are really serious, will not come up very often. http://m.ebay.com/itm/2015-2016-Ford-Edge-oem-Center-LED-Tail-light-bar-for-Lift-Gate-p-n-FT4B13B433AJ-/161933586343?nav=SEARCH
  24. I've found that its not all that uncommon that the shop doesn't always completely fill the oil. When it takes 5-1/2 qts. I've seen them use only 5 qts. telling me that it's okay. First step, check your oil level.
