2019 titanium - harsh ride in the back
fishx65 replied to PatrickS's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Tires at 32psi will help a lot and adding weight will also help. Weight can be added around the spare under the rear panel. I added a couple bags of tube sand to the back of my Rents 2011 and it definitely helped smooth her out. -
This guy makes it look pretty easy without a lift and makes me want to tackle this job myself. Sorry Mac, he made it look easier then your vid:):):)

Got a chance to investigate the clicking a little closer and it's definitely the strut mounts and not the axle. The coil spring is binding up especially when it's cold. Gonna be a little more expensive than I was hoping:(:(
-
Thanks Paul, really helpful.:) I was surprised how cheap they are even at AA and AZ.

Maybe a dumb question but how do you tell which side is bad? I've had one clicking for a long time on my 2011 SEL and want to replace it. I've always thought it was the passenger side but I want to be sure before I pickup the new one.

Tire sizes and Actual tire surface contact patch width?
fishx65 replied to Edgingage's topic in Wheels & Tires
I'm guessing 255/60/18s will rub a little but please let us know if you end up going with that size. I personally just like the looks of a wider tire.:):)- 25 replies

Got a clicky passenger side CV joint on my 2011 FWD SEL. Anyone here do this job themselves lately? I usually do repairs like this myself and was just wondering if it's worth it. Looks like a whole new shaft is only around a hundred bucks. Any particular brand better then others?

Brake Rotor replacement suggestions?
fishx65 replied to shumax's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
I wouldn't hesitate at all to have the rotors turned. I've run Thermo Quiets on all my vehicles for a long time and don't have any complaints. I get zero dust from them on my 11 SEL which I actually find kinda strange. -
I just drain and refill the radiator about every 20,000 or so. I'm sure a total flush and refill would be better but a quick radiator drain and refill is all I've been doing. I remember reading that Ford's Dark Green coolant was fine and it was either the orange or gold that was suspected of not having enough lubricity for the water pump bearings. I just hit 112.000 on my 3.5 SEL.

Go to products for tires and rims?
fishx65 replied to MB022803's topic in Appearance - Detailing, Wash & Wax
No. I'm talking about their old Endura shine product they discontinued. https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101-a/78659-coated-my-tires-today-wow.html https://www.walmart.com/ip/Turtle-Wax-Jet-Black-Black-Endura-Shine-Tire-Coat-Kit/36610691 The Trim Coat is still available on E-bay which some say is the same thing. I still have 4 bottles of the trim coat but haven't tried it on my tires yet. The Trim Coat is also an amazing product that lasts well over a year and makes the trim on my 2011 look brand spankin new even though it's completely faded. -

fishx65 replied to MB022803's topic in Appearance - Detailing, Wash & Wax
I've only got one more bottle of turtle wax Tire Coat left and they don't make it anymore. I'm sure there's another product like it out there but I haven't looked yet. Stuff is awesome and lasts about 6 months on my daily drivers. Don't think I could ever go back to constantly cleaning and using typical tire dressings. -
Best LED kit for 2nd gen
fishx65 replied to Sledwrecker's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
Anyone try these in a 2011-2014 yet?? I'm still running an old set of DDM 35/5000 HIDs in my 2011 but wouldn't mind giving these a try. -
Loud clicking when turning right at slow speeds
fishx65 replied to fishx65's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Haven't driven it much except a 500 mile run up north and back. Thanks to you guys, I'm now convinced it's the passenger side CV Joint. Is this something I need to have done immediately or am I cool for quite a while? I'm a do-it-yourselfer and planning on attacking this issue sometime in the Michigan summer. -
I've had a 35/5000 DDM Kit with a custom harness in my 2011 SEL for over 7 years. DDM replaced a ballast in year two under warranty. I purchased two kits thinking I may need spare parts but haven't had to use it. Not sure if DDM's quality has changed since installing mine 7 years ago but it still looks like they have great prices.

2011 Edge limited Driver door ajar issue
fishx65 replied to Racerb0y's topic in Recalls, TSBs & Warranty
Seems like you really should get reimbursed if it was indeed the front drivers door and you had it done at a Ford Dealership. They're making it sound like they'll only cover the cost if it breaks between the time you received this notice to July 2020. -
2011 Edge limited Driver door ajar issue
fishx65 replied to Racerb0y's topic in Recalls, TSBs & Warranty
I just received a notice about the front drivers side door latch on my 2011 SEL. Customer Satisfaction Program 19N09. Looks like it's covered to 120,000 miles or July 2020. -
Why did my Battery go dead overnight?
fishx65 replied to cleekoguy's topic in Accessories & Modifications
I usually get a lot more life out of 65 series batteries then 59. My 2011 came with a 59 but was also designed to take a 65. Needless to say there's a big ole 65 under the hood these days. -

Loud clicking when turning right at slow speeds
fishx65 replied to fishx65's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
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: -
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.

Has anyone added heated mirrors?
fishx65 replied to Bigdaddyhognts's topic in Accessories & Modifications
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.
