Brucifer Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Was watching a behind-the-scenes video on YouTube about the cars in Mad Mad:Fury Road and started wondering what lake pipes on the Edge would look like.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted June 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Pretty sweet, I'd imagine. May have to have the rear passengers take extra caution Even better with a cutout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma-2 Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Mine came yesterday, dropped it in, went with Motorcraft. Got my Brother label maker and put a label on the filter housing with date and milage as I can never remember the last time I replaced it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Love me my DryFlow's :D engima, you need to get one of AEM's filter minder thingamajiggies. macbwt can hook you up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I use one of them on my furnace to remember to change the filter and another one for servicing the humidifier & water softener. Labels work better for me (to make removal easier, I only attach 1/2 the adhesive strip). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brucifer Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 took the upper cowling off to access the windshield wiper motor linkage. Threw Tri-Flow around the room, di-electric on the harness and put everything back together with anti-sneeze. Now just have to wait for the rain to see if it makes the horrible metal screeching noise. It came with a new windshield (aftermarket) when I bought it and the wipers were off their marks by a little. Not sure if that was a cause, but they are on mark now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucifer Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Metal squeak sound is still there. Must be something to do with the aftermarket glass.Last test is to wrap the wipers in a soft cloth and see if it's the actual blades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 If your blades are more than six months old, I'd clean the windshield really clean and put on new (quality) blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmillz1331 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Had the rotors and pads replaced yesterday, which was much needed. Also had brake fluid flushed as I'm sure it hadn't been done in a very long time...also had Ford inspect for gas tank recall since I have an '08. The service rep told me that in Ohio, they have been instructed to now replace any tanks (and assoc. parts) since the parts are now more abundant. So the parts should be at dealer in a few days and then I'll drop off for install...I haven't had any problems but I'm not going to turn down a free, brand-new replacement on a car that's 8 years old ha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I'm assembling a folding 4' x 8' utility trailer to pull behind my MKX. Took me 4 days to assemble it and get the plywood floor installed and covered with roll-on bedliner. Now I just have to build the sides which should be easy by comparison. It's a lot bigger and heavier than I imagined but it should work well and it folds up like a ping-pong table when not in use. $500 from Northern Tool including shipping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Def don't turn down free parts, cmillz, LOL. I am just glad not to have been caught in that neverneverland so many unfortunate comrades had been over the past 2 years! How about posting some pics of this trailer, akirby? What are your plans for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Any updates on the wipers, Brucifer? On a side note: I have been using about 4.5 oz/tank of SuperTech TC-W3 for a few months now, starting prior to the switch to "summer" gas. In between I took a break to see if the summer gas made any difference to the mpg and responsiveness all by itself, and for about 4 tanks, it did. Then it started to fall flat again, tho not as bad as "bare" winter gas. So, with experimentation, I found I need 3.5-4 oz/tank now, varies a bit by gas station. All top tier gas. Very smooth & quiet. More recently: after feeling left out by the Gen 1.5 (and Gen 2) having throttle body replacements done (though not missing the emergency experience), I said what the hey. The Throttle Position Sensor/potentiometer is available for Gen 1, so I ordered it from RockAuto. Put it on the throttle body yesterday (without cleaning up the TB or anything), took the Edge for a drive to gauge performance. Immediately felt better. Same impression on today's driving. All mixed city/hwy. Edited July 29, 2016 by WWWPerfA_ZN0W 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucifer Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I tried crimping the joints with a pair of channel locks while in place. The idea was to tighten the joints so they wouldn't vibrate as much. It seemed to work a little. I might try to take them off and really let them have it. Still need to stop by the dealership to price out the cost of a new set. RockAuto doesn't have them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmillz1331 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Just got the call that the parts associated with gas tank recall are in at the dealer...scheduled service for next week (was told it takes about half a day), will update once I get the Edge back and can take a look at the work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Yeah, get that recall out of the way!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
