Will do, Thanks!!!:)

I'm gonna test it out better the next couple days and then post some more info. It's been a clickin for a long time.

I did read about the Explorer CV Joint issues. Looks like they had a cheap fix:

My 2011 (100,000 miles) has a loud clicking noise when turning right at slow speeds. I'm thinking strut bearing. Is the sound coming from the spring rotating in it's seat or the bearing itself? Any quick fixes with a can of lube or does it have to be replaced?

I'll give you $2000.00 for it. Let me know where to pick it up and I'll have cash.:):)

Not sure how much you're going to spend on 1 new COP but this Motorcraft kit comes with all 6 of them for $180.00. I know the COPs in this kit are the right ones for our 2011 3.5s. $180.00 is a pretty good deal for 6 of them and it's nice to install 3 new ones in the back while you have the upper intake off.

Steven Avery got out and purchased an Edge????:):)

Not sure if this helps but I replaced the passenger mirror on my non heated 2008 Taurus with a heated version and it works. My guess would be that all Edges are wired for them.

My 35/5000 DDM Hids in my 2011 are still going strong after 7 years but I'd definitely look at some LEDs if they work as well as HIDs in our halogen projectors. I recently drove a friends 2011 with halogens and had forgotten how bad they are.

There's so much pad left on that one side that I'm guessing it's frozen. When I changed mine at around 60,000, one of my front pads was frozen and looked brand new. At that mileage I'd do a complete brake job front and rear. The rears wear out way faster then the fronts on my 2011. If you're doing it yourself, make sure to pull the pins and lube the crap out of them along with a little on the slides.

Nothing like living in a rust-belt. Make sure to cake that anti seize on there when ya put her back together!!!:):)

Make sure you go around and tap the rotor hard around the studs with the sledge toward the vehicle. Not to insult you, but some Ford rotors have a small allen screw holding the rotors on.

You can easily replace the H11 low beam bulb with a H9 and it makes a huge difference. Ya gotta shave off a little tab inside the H9's to make them fit. First thing I did when I owned my 2010.

If you're still looking, Discount Tire Direct has a decent deal on the Continental LX20s (245/60/18 $144.00 per tire) today. Flash sale $100.00, DT Credit Card $40.00 and $70.00 Continental rebate. So $210.00 off is pretty good these days. They'll always match this same deal at your local Discount Tire store. Rebates are really easy to do online and I got the prepaid cards in about 6 days.

I wouldn't have a fluid exchange done but wouldn't hesitate to do a quick drain and refill once or twice. I'f I remember correctly, a drain gets about 5 quarts out.
