macbwt Posted September 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 I just purchased the updated valve cover and will be replacing the old one. Let's see if this helps with the oil consumption. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macbwt Posted September 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 I was able to replace the KYB shocks under warranty with 100K miles on them through rockauto. 12 bucks for shipping though. I have the new ones installed and have been riding around on them for over a week now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macbwt Posted October 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 At 212,000 miles I decided LU needed a cocktail of sorts. This is what I did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted October 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 What to expect at 213,000 miles the one thing that destroys most cars in the midwest. RUST. this is my approach to extending the life of the Edge, but you can not stop rust just slow it down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted October 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 What I did to LU to make a bit more noise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) I still didn't get why you removed it? Only for the increased noise? That doesn't sound like you. I guess your next video will be on how to change the brake light bulbs, Blueberry right top bulb is out (seen @ 17:52). Also, maybe you already know this, but with ForScan you can monitor the individual tire pressures as reported by the TPMS through the BCM.

I did this to get a bit more noise and to see what the real deal was. No change in git up go and no change in MPG's Just more noise on acceleration and yes I kinda like noise on acceleration. Plus not a video I found of anyone actually performing the job. A lot of after the fact so since LU agreed to the operation I said why not. Thanks for the tail light I have not noticed it was out. I do not drive BB much. Guess I will have to go out and buy LED brake light now. LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted November 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Repaired the coil pig tail connector on my Edge. This is how you can repair or replace the connector. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted November 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Well when I made the Title of this thread I never meant for it to include me driving a 2018 Hyundai Sport 2.4 AWD, but hey it is a rental so I will make lemonade out of the lemons while my Edge is in the body shop being buffed up and made good again. Got a few cosmetic major changes coming up so be ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted November 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 A mod due to an accident so why not take advantage of the situation and make the Edge look even better than before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macbwt Posted December 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 nearly 218K plus miles now and nothing is needing repairs and running great. Gosh I love this Edge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted December 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Gotta love it. -6 below zero and LU cranked and started without a flaw at 220,700 miles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 How well does the 221,000 mile Duratec start in -5 degree weather. Pretty well. Check out the cold operation via forscan lite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macbwt Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Nearly 224,000 miles had a hiccup for the second time in three months. rough idle and hesitation at start from stop light. Wondering if I should pack a small socket set and the spare Throttle body into the Edge just in case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
