Nooby!

Hello All! 

We just got into the eco boost family with a 17 Edge Sport. Excited to see what other people have done with theirs! Any mandatory advice and the best place to look for performance and exterior upgrades would be great! Thanks!

Welcome! Here is a thread with several aftermarket parts listed. As far as exterior upgrades, those seem to be scant at best. I think 3 of the most common mods are the gauge upgrade, a tune, and an FMIC.

We already talked on the tune thread, but figured I'd post here incase anyone new reads your question and wants the answer.

 

Mandatory Stuff that I can recall

 

1) Change the PTU(power transfer unit, used to be called a transfer case in older vehicles) fluid immediately if you don't know when it's last been changed.  If it's very, very metallic/dirty, replace the fluid in 3000 miles again.  I honestly plan on changing my PTU fluid every other oil change, but others suggest every 30,000 miles.  The PTU is the weak link here.  

 

2) The ABS system in these vehicle is semi-stupid.  One wheel sensor going out, one dirty sensor, one dirty PLUG in the system will disable not only the ABS, but the traction control, stability control, park assist, lane keeping assist, and damn near every single feature that has to do with driving.  If it's a rear sensor that's out, it'll disable AWD too.  So I'd keep an eye on those wheel speed sensors and connectors if any of these things suddenly happen to you.  

 

3) Only the front windows will roll down if you click the unlock button twice and hold it down.  They will not roll back up either via the lock button, you have to roll them up via the switches inside.  

 

 

 

Can't think of anything else, I'm sure someone else will correct me or add to this as needed, but the PTU fluid is 100% a necessity.  Super important for longevity as these PTU's can be finicky.
