  1. Sorry about being a little vague. I edited my org post. Check any of the links at the bottom of this link. http://www.consumerwebwatch.org/index.cfm Here's a good one http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2008/03/18/consumer_reports/ I don't know how they would explain this $18 UUHhMm On the right below "Click here to SUBSCRIBE" http://forums.consumerreports.org/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=cr-camera01 It’ll take you here. https://w1.buysub.com/pubs/C8/SHM/subscribe.jsp?cds_page_id=42071&cds_mag_code=SHM&id=1263861498742&lsid=30181838187013968&vid=1&cds_response_key=IW7BSDB ab
  2. Ford DID NOT increase the amount of $S they spend on ADVERTISING donations with CONsumer reports! ab
  3. We put ours on Mix, floor and dash. Then manually close the dash vents, works just ok nothing great . ab
  4. I read an article a few weeks ago about incentives going AWAY in the near future. Manufacturing capacity is DOWN, inventory is DOWN and the economy is UP. ab
  5. It's an easy IDY. Go back to pg 2 of this thread, detailed instructions AND HOW to get the right part #. ab
  6. Motorcraft FL-500S $12.20 at Ford. Motorcraft FL-500S $9.49 at O'Reilly Nothing on the internet for Pep Boys or AutoZone http://www.rockauto.com/dbphp/x,catalog,48,partnum,FL500S,d,MOTORCRAFT_FL500S.html $6.42 +$5.11 shipping $15.50 including shipping at Amazon Looks like O'Reilly is the place IF you have one. ab
  7. Thanks for finding the most important button "View New Content" ab
  8. Welcome and greetings Try this, it's for an 09 but it will get you there. EDIT: repaired link... http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/MOT0/FL500S.oap?year=2009&make=Ford&model=Edge&vi=1443379&keyword=oilfilter&partType=02269&parentPartType=C0023 Next time you're at your auto supply ask for an 09 Edge oil filter. ab
  9. They're glued on so you can't get them off. I'm guessing they glue em on so they can't fly off and so they can call them chrome clad instead of what they are, $800 plastic hub caps. ab
  10. This heater core problem is starting to look like one of those in-betweens. Enough Edge/MKXes escaped with DEFECTIVE core’s that it generated a TSB, but not enough to call us all in. Having spent the past 40 yrs with a legal professional (she’s not going to see this or I would have to spend the next 4 HOURS legalizing this post) I see lawyers all over this thing. Some VP said “we have a problem send the letter” The LawyerS say "you can’t do that” because 10% of ALL the Edge/MKXes ever sold will come in the next day with heater problems. VP says "what do you suggest" LawyerS say “we need a make um feel good TSB” “when the 10% show up we’ll do a flush and refill” it’s NOT going to stop the defective cores from failing but it’ll make um feel good Message to garyedwardsmith: The next time you’re in Vegas please contact me. With your luck (def PTU AND heater core) I want you on the Craps table, I’ll be betting the “pass/don't line and come/don't line” we’ll clean um out :happy feet: ! ab
  11. Some dealers around here install an after market alarm in all of their cars. Check with your salesperson maybe your “2007 Ford Edge that was a courtesy car” has an after market. Or maybe you were seeing a reflection from some other blinking light. My bet is on the add-on alarm. OH Welcome and greetings ab
  12. I sympathize with you about your wife. My wife wanted a Moron but I talked her into….. OOooPPppSSss SORRY OFF TOPIC. ab
  13. Get over it, it's time to move on, PLEASE!! :yup: Get over it, it's time to move on, PLEASE!! Our 08 finally had to go in. We had a squeaking right rear shock, replaced at 27+K miles. I do find myself arguing with Sync, she keeps wanting to call steFANEEE (Stefani) instead of Steve. Other than that :happy feet: ab
  14. your upgrade :shades: This is similar to the kit I used on my Z. http://www.carpromods.com/product/MimoUSA-...ts/Default.aspx Here is a quote from the link above. "The objectives of bullies are Power, Control, Domination, Subjugation. They get a kick out of seeing you react. It doesn't matter how you react, the fact they've successful provoked a reaction is, to the bully, a sign that their attempt at control have been successful. After that, it's a question of wearing you down. The more your try to explain, negotiate, conciliate, etc the more gratification they obtain from your increasingly desperate attempts to communicate with them. Understand that it is not possible to communicate in a mature adult manner with a disordered individual who's emotionally retarded." I have to re-read this part often. "The Number One rule for dealing with this type of behaviour is: don't respond, don't interact and don't engage. This is not as easy to do as it sounds. It's a natural response to want to defend yourself, and to put the person right. However, never argue with a serial bully; it's not a mature adult discussion, but like dealing with a child or immature teenager; whilst the serial bully may be an adult on the outside, on the inside they are like a child who's never grown up - and probably never will. Serial bullies and harassers often have disordered thinking patterns and do not share the same thoughts or values as you." ab
  15. We seem to have another member who needs to visit this site. http://www.bullyonline.org/related/cyber.htm ab
  16. I was interested in this for a friend with an Edge. I did a search for “cargo” and found this. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?sho...23&hl=cargo Followed the instructions to here. http://www.parts.com/oemcatalog/index.cfm?...playCatalogid=0 Looks like parts 3 and 4. ab
  17. There are a few threads about dogs. I did a search for crate and found this. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?sho...38&hl=crate Some friends of ours rescue Gray Hounds, they REALLY are good dogs. ab
  18. Could I get you to buy me a "Power Ball" ticket? They cut us off a day early, BUT now they want us back $20 for 5 months. ab
  19. It looks fine! :yup: I like. I did a 300ZX once BUT didn’t use all provided parts. I would have scaled back a little on the Edge. Nothing on the steering wheel, glove box or around the Nav. ab
  20. Greetings and welcome The Accessories and Modifications forum was pretty bare for the first couple of years; it's been doing better lately. ab
  21. The Pirelli's (245/50/20) on our MKX are T rated, good for 118 MPH sustained speed. ab
  22. I don't think it would be possible for Ford to accommodate ALL BOX, BIKE, rack etc manufactures. I would think it be their responsibility to fit their hardware to Ford. I’ve added lots of add-ons over the years some fit some didn’t just kept looking till I found one I liked that fit. Basic example: I wanted to use Silverstar low beam headlights in my 05 F250. Sylvania didn’t start making them till 07, NOT Fords fault! ab
  23. Good looking wheels! Every time I see an Edge or MKX with UPGRADED :D wheels I dislike our hub caps even more! But the tow vehicle needs new tires, SO wheels will be put off till we need tires for the MKX. ab
  24. Greetings and welcome Could we have a picture of your wheels? ab
  25. Not too sure about different worlds, different time Yes. If the MKT had been available in 08 … maybe we would be on the MKT forum?? 6K$'s difference is not out of sight we’ll be looking in a couple of yrs if not sooner. Haven't seen any 3rd row seating worth ANYTHING except to Soccer Moms, USELESS for traveling! ab
