  1. Do you have all the records of how the past owner took care of the Edge before you bought it? This might not be a Ford issue at all if the past owner did not take proper care of that engine. Go on Redit and look at Justrolledintotheship to see how bad people take care of their cares and engines.
  2. That is what I was thinking with the intake off I an put a scope down the head to see what shape they are in.
  3. I was wondering if we had to do that. Know on my wife's 3.5 Ecoboost you had to. I had not seen a plug change on the 2.7 yet.
  4. Today I went to go out for lunch. It was about 2deg out. When I stated my Edge the check engine light went on. Got home and scanned it. It is tossing a p0071. Least I know it is not a engine issue. Just wondering has anyone had this issue?
  5. Been seeing my Subi friends post a lot of new things for Subi applications. I have not see many posts on the Ford side. The Camera Edge ST is about the most i have seen. Anyone know if at SEMA any new things for the 2.7 are coming out?
  6. Are the rotors coated like OEM so they do not rust around the non pad area? Also how did you get the Edge off all 4's and on jack stands?
  7. I am noticing this on my 2018. It is only after when I start up cold in the morning at low speeds like leaving a parking lot or my garage. After on the road things feel fine.
  8. Ok now updated took a 3rd try for some reason. Not seeing any physical changes so far.
  9. Got a working link. I plug in the USB Flash drive and noting is happening. Know it should say at the top updating.
  10. Today at work with it being a holiday on Monday is slow. So got thinking about E30. Only issue is around my house I do not have anything for E85. From work I have a station about 2 miles down the road. Not finding much on the Edge and E30 but the Focus forms there is a lot of reading. Just wondering have many of you tried running E30? If so are you running anything that shows how good your fuel mix is? Seeing the RS guys running a flex-fuel sensor and gauge. Not sure is there is a setup like this that will fit the Edge. I am going to keep reading up. Thought I would ask to see what we have done.
  11. It seems like Ford has changed coolants a lot in the life of the 3.5. From reading posts there was a Gold coolant, then green, and my wife's 2017 looks to have I think an orange color if I remember right. Has these been less failures as Ford has changed their coolants? Remember the old GM days of their coolant causing all kinds of fun.
  12. Just installed my collars. After two weeks of running with out them and doing some fun driving I think my swaybar only moved to the passenger side by 1/8th of a inch. So there is not that much movement if you do not install them.

    15+ Sport rear mudflaps

    I found rear mudflaps that fit the 2015+ Sports.
  14. Got some good news. As we know Ford OEM and all other rear mudflaps do not fit the 15+ Sport as the rear bumper is a little different. I did some looking and I found a set on Ebay that said it was just for the for Sport. I gave it a try and guess what? If fits the Sport great! If you are wondering why I wanted these I live up in northern IL and we get a lot of salt on the road on winter. With out flaps you can get a lot of damage over the years to your paint. So far just installed the rear. They feel good quality. Only debate I have is since these touch the paint do I want to put some 3m clean vinyl protection between them and the paint. https://www.ebay.com/itm/312044726751 http://www.fordedgeforum.com/gallery/album/821-15-sport-rear-mudflaps/

  16. I did. It was also noted in the instructions I read. So far no noise from them.
  17. Mine took two hours to do. With a baby sleeping I did not turn on my large 60gal air compressor so it was all hand tools. That was from the time I pulled into my garage till the time I pulled out. I think I could do it in a hour if I did it again with air tools.
  18. I know the trucks do not since their 3.5 Ecoboost motors are not transverse. They have a external water pump. If you can check that would be great. It seems like the 3.5 Ecoboost I have a hard time confirming info on.
  19. My Edge I have the 2.7 so i am lucky with the Edge. But my Wife has the 3.5 Ecoboost in her 2017 Explorer. This is my only major worry with her Explorer. We are planning on keeping it 8-10 year like our last cars. I do not mind doing coolant changes as they are not hard. But I have a very hard time disposing of the old coolant. All local part shops take Oil but not coolant. I have to find a very nice shop that will take my coolant knowing I am doing DIY work and not giving them business. I am just wondering do dealers charge a lot for this service? Both the Edge and Explorer take the orange coolant. I do not want to mix unless I know I can get a complete flush out. This could be the first time going in for Ford service as I do my own oil changes. I will do most future service work myself.
