PTU hose down flush - what flushing fluid?
1004ron replied to DrivingofftheEdge's topic in All Wheel Drive (AWD)
What model year? Does it have a drain plug? I prefer not to use anything else buy the normal operating oil to flush and then final fill. -
Unless you've done significant modifications to the engine, intake and exhaust that has increased the capable mass flow that the engine can ingest, the stock OEM filter is more than capable of handling the maximum air flow without the pressure drop across it becoming a limiting factor on performance, while protecting the engine from damaging particulate.

This drop-in works best for me. Your choice will depend a lot on what you're expecting from an air filter - what would that be?

I can't offer comment on the tune, but can confirm that it will void warranty if an attempting to claim for damage that could remotely have been caused by the tune, which means that just about everything could be rejected.

While on assignment in a few other countries, I have had the unpleasant experience driving many miles behind inconsiderate asssholes that leave these rear fog lights on regardless of the weather - so pleased that they're illegal in the US.

Weird Ticking/Knocking noise at idle (Ford Edge 3.5l)
1004ron replied to Fordedgejunk's topic in 3.5L
You've first got to confirm whats ticking, a lifter, timing chain, ........this will need someone with experience on these engines to listen to it. A ticking lifter could be one bad one, but more often its the first sign of something more severe like low oil pressure, .......sludge from an engine that never reaches operating temperature or poor oil change intervals, incorrect oil grade, incorrect oil filter, fouled oil pump suction strainer, failing oil pump, worn bearings, ...... -
Its been long enough for me to declare success - been no nasty odor in my garage since installing the new hoses.

13M01 - Middle East PTU Extended Warranty
1004ron replied to omar302's topic in Recalls, TSBs & Warranty
What they recommend doesn't come into play, its what's written in the warranty and service section of your owners manual. Best you get in contact with Ford Corp. and open a case, and make sure that you keep a written record. -
That is clearly impact wrench damage. I think the construction of these is a poor design, but if you keep the impact wrench away they will remain looking like new.

Rear caliper wont retract
1004ron replied to fordedgenashvilletennessee's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Was lildisco suggestions any help? -
My dealership has only rotated my tires twice, and I've done it since. The dealership uses impact wrenches and this damages the aluminum shell of the nuts - when I showed them the damage to the nuts they promptly gave me a full set of the same. Since I've been doing the rotation without impact wrench the nuts remain as new - when I got tires fitted, I made sure that they didn't us an impact. Yes I know that doesn't answer your question, but just a thought if you consider replacing only the bad ones.
-
My replacement hoses were shipped on Monday and received them yesterday - they're installed but of course too early to confirm that its taken care of the smell.
-
Replacement hoses and fittings are on their way to me - I'll report back after I install it this weekend.

2008 remote start run time
1004ron replied to guyina4x4's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
Not sure if its possible to change the run time with Forscan, but the owners manual describes how you can extend the run time using the remote. -
Member's details not shown anymore?

Unfortunately no response from the email sent to robertlane The only workaround we're left with is to add this info to our signature - https://www.fordedgeforum.com/settings/signature/ -
Where do you live and what anti-ice products do they use on the roads? What model, year and mileage? - that would indicate whether you have any chance of Ford assisting, and even then this type of thing isn't usually cover by warranty. In areas that use aggressive products on the icy roads, you need to clean the road grime off frequently or it will start the type of corrosion you're seeing which is usually impossible to restore by hand.

Thanks for that update. I found it difficult to believe that the hoses could be the culprit as they still appear as new condition. I sent JLT an email last night and had a reply early this morning. also a phone call - they offered to send me a new set of hoses - amazing response from JLT. https://www.jlttruecoldair.com/2015-2019-edge-sport-lincoln-mkx/

I'm doing an oil change this weekend and will search for loose or broken hoses, but recall the first time I smelt it was shortly after the catch can install.
-
Have you taken it to the dealer yet, and if so what was the outcome? I have the same smell, which my wife remarked was the smell of gasoline, but having emptied the JLT catch-can many times, the smell in the garage is the same, so I'm convinced its not gas. Because its the same smell as the contents in the catch can, I've checked the cans O-ring and the vent hoses and all appears in order. Looks like the F150 guys have the same issue and possibly the hoses supplied with the catch-can. https://www.f150ecoboost.net/threads/catch-can-smell-anyone-solve.11201/page-2
