Totally separate and usually offered by the lender, not your insurance company, although you can probably buy a separate policy if necessary.

Run your fingernail along the crack and see if there is a divot (could be small).

Don't pay more than $295 for gap insurance. Leasing is just another way to finance a vehicle. Check the buyout price on the lease compared to what you can buy the same vehicle for used. If the buyout is higher just turn it in and buy another used one for less money. Sometimes manufacturers subsidize leases more than purchasing. It's tough to tell because with purchasing you get rebates that are obvious. With leases the incentives are buried in the payment. As long as you know what you're doing it's perfectly viable to lease, then buy.

Oops. So you did. Sorry! Let me try it on the other forums that have the same software. That may just be how the new software works.

Works for me with Firefox 3.6, although the entire screen is dimmed and the picture is down at the bottom.

Testing

If you click "view new content" on the upper right, you'll see a menu of options on the left with lots of new choices. It's way more functional than the old version. If you're having problems please post the browser and version and if possible try it on multiple browsers.

Duh

Welcome! But I have to ask - what is a WV?

Probably

I knew that was you............

Did you have it in park with the parking brake engaged?

A supercharger that looks like a turbo but runs off the belt is just a supercharger and it can make more power than a turbo. Unless you're talking about those cheap hair dryers they sell on ebay - those are worthless.

You are correct. Notice it says that it drive the turbine more efficiently - not faster. That's doublespeak. Having the turbo closer to the rear means you get less boost and you also slow down the induction air due to the length of the intake tube. On a dual exhaust vehicle you can run two turbos - one on each exhaust - to make up the difference. But there is no way this produces as much power as an engine mounted turbo.

I believe it will be added back as an option at some point but I suspect all of their efforts went into stabilizing the software first.

It doesn't have to be a defect although I'd say it's likely. The dealer will check for stone chips and if none are found it should be replaced under warranty. If a chip is found then it was hit by something and you'll have to pay for replacement or run it through your insurance.

Several companies are making those types of kits. The advantage is you don't need extra room in the engine bay and the plumbing is simpler. There has to be some power loss due to the long plumbing but I've seen dyno runs on tv that show it makes good power.

According to other posters the Stealthbox is the only one that will fit the stock location. If you don't want that then you're on your own.

There are 2 topics on the first page of this forum dealing with aftermarket subs and probably more if you do a search.

Paint protection is a religion. They all work - the main difference is how long they last. Carnauba wax is easy to apply but doesn't last very long - just a few months. Newer polymers and sealants last longer. Which ones look the best is personal preference and the average owner won't be able to notice much difference. Your detailer should be able to help you choose the right product for you to maintain depending on how picky you are about the result and how much time you want to spend.

Good to know. But I can't imagine that would be a very big increase.

Increasing throttle response would make it quicker to drive on the street but it won't make more power on the dyno. And how would leaning it out add power?

All true and Ford deserves all the blame for that. It's easy to say they shouldn't have released it and I don't think they would have if they had a good alternative. They designed the 2011 Edge around MFT without a backup plan (again, their fault but that's water under the bridge). So the alternative would have been to simply not offer MFT at all which also means no Navigation option and no Sony radio for 18 months. So they gambled they could stabilize it within a few months and the damage would be limited. It didn't work out that well but at the time I'm sure it seemed like the most logical path. Again - I'm not absolving them of blame but given the alternatives after the mistakes were made I think they were in a lose-lose situation either way. The only good way out would have been to switch back to the older navigation/sync version but that just wasn't possible.

How is a tune going to add power without advancing the timing? I doubt there is much room to advance the timing and keep it on 87.

A lot of the problems with MFT that was blamed on the software was actually a combination of the early software and bad APIM. Some people here have bad APIMs but are still blaming the software. Glad to see you got yours fixed quickly.
