Has anyne else heard this? I have read a couple things on this and it seems like worth a try. Says 2oz of 100% pure acetone per 10 gallons of gas and get 6+ more mpg. Couple guys soaked carb parts as well as hoses and so forth in acetone with little or no harm, and that was straight aetone. So 2oz per 10 gallons should be no harm. 100% acetone is like 150 octane, therefore you burn more of your mixture in the chambers. Got me thinking and may put the focus to the test. Kevin

I'm an SCT dealer hehe Kevin

Did you see the code that was thrown? Even on the 06 Diesels there is no code thrown. I am fixing to get back into doing these things myself. I am going to order a couple Xcal's now. If anyone wants one let me know, I get a better discount the more I buy. Kevin

Actually, right info. We have tested with this on the 05 mustang GT's and no code is produced to the dealer on their equipment. Of course when they see you do it, they will say yes :rolleyes: Kevin

With a SCT flash tune, your dealer will not find it as long as you take aftermarket tune out before taking it to dealer. Only way the dealers knew you had a chip in your PCM is because you have to rid of a silicone type on the connectors. The tuner is a good way to go this day in time. Grab an intake and a tuner, you will be getting better gas mileage for sure. Kevin

Mine rattles a little, but I have a 15 inch su and 2000rms Kevin

Good to know. After my engine was replaced I started getting this clunk. Kevin

Mine is a 2007 SEL, no sensors. As for value, I expected the Edge to hold better than a V6/GT mustang. I was wrong again. I love Ford and a straight Ford man, but this will probably be my last new Ford. I would like to keep some money in my pocket over time. I am a huge drag racer and will only use mustangs, but other than that, import will be my next purchase for new if I get tired of the Edge. The only car I bought and had good luck with was a 04 Mach 1. If it isn;t a special edition vehicle, don't buy it. I lost $9K in 8 months on a V6 mustang convertible.

To help shed some light on this subject, the re-tune of a PCM will not hurt the life of your vehicle. The tune that comes factory in every vehicle is made to be as safe and economy friendly as possible. Also, it allows for furthur upgrades in the future without the manufacturer spending a ton more on a vehicle. The reflash of the PCM reconfigures the valve timing, a/f, cam timing, and various other specs. Now, couple years ago you had the basic Superchips, Diablo, Hypertech (haha), and so forth. Those tuners helped, but not much. They were basic tunes that was safe for each PCM in that model bought for. If you notice, the tuners were sold mustang 99-04 models. Well, the new SCT programs are CUSTOM matched to YOUR PCM. Each model can have up to 4 different PCM's. Your 99-04 mustang GT's had a GTG1, GTG3, and so on. That is why you need your PCM code to get a tuner loaded by a SCT dealer. It specifically tunes your PCM to the best performance possible. Enigne will run smoother, and more efficient along with shift ponits and pressure in your tranny. When I tuned my mach 1 on my dyno I gained a nice 12 real real wheel horsepower out of a stock engine. Ran a 12.96 in the 1/4 and got a smooth 32 mpg on the highway. You will see a gain in performance and mpg with an aftermarket tune. As for gains in diesels, totally different animal. We won't get into that, but if you have any questions I will answer them for you, I am a vet in tuning Kevin

Ok guys, well I took her in at 30K miles and most was fixed. BUT!! what I didn't mention in my first post was I had a head tick start in the engine and started getting louder about 10K miles ago. Well, Ford made them put a new engine in for us. Not sure what the tick was, but they said may be something in the engine. So, at 30K, I got me a new engine and all issues fixed. Hmmm..... like new again. So if you have a head tick, go to your dealer ASAP! Kevin

I have a digital tire gauge. Cost me like $8 haha. BBF2530, how do you like your MKZ? Thought about one of those or a Fusion as well. Was wishing we could get a turbo carged MKZ or Fusion from factory. Kevin

We keep tires at no more than 35 psi. That is why I am not sure why tire wear is like this. Well, I am WAY passed the tire rotation haha.

I am at 27,000 miles and still getting a good 28-29 mpg at 60 mph and 23-24 at 80 mph. Doing great! Kevin

So, I am at 27,000 miles and I have a few issues that need to be checked. Nothing major but here we go, and if you have had these issues please let me know. *Driver seat feels loose. After put into position it has a movement every so often of about a 1/4 inch. *Clank/rattle in rear when hitting little bumps. *Little rattle in passenger door. *Back hatch interior loose and un-snapping. *MY FRONT TIRES HAVE AN UNUSUAL WEAR. MIDDLE THREADS WORN PRE-MATURE AND GETTING VERY SLICK. *At low speeds the tranny jerks. (I know about this) Only one major, others aren't to shabby. Our tires are those cheap continentals. Anyone else have those issues? On a FWD vehicle, when do YOU rotate tires? I have always had mustangs so FWD is new to me . Kevin

I have a little over 23K miles on my edge and at 60 mph with cruise set and a/c on I get 29. At 80 mph around 24.
