Maybe I never got going fast enough to where it would let me shift past M3. I'll check it out again this weekend.

Drove a new 2011 the other day and was screwing around with the Manual shift mode. Looked like you can only shift through 3 gears (M1,M2 and M3). I don't see a reason to use manual shift. What the heck is it for? Maybe taking off in icy conditions?

1995-2003 Explorer forum 2003-2008 F150 forum 2008-2011 Taurus forum Just picked up a white 2010 SEL Edge with 10,000 miles on it so here I am!

Found it. Kind of an interesting read. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/airfilter/airtest1.htm

I remember seeing a test a few years ago where someone put some kind of white filter sheet behind a few different air filters. He claimed that he drove each of them in the same conditions and posted pics of each filter sheet and air filter after a certain number of miles driven. The test did show that the K&N and other filters like it let more dirt pass through then regular paper element filters. Not that I believe everything on the net but I stopped using K&N's back when I purchased a new 2003 F150. I can't say that using a K&N is a bad idea cuz I never did have any internal engine problems during the many years I used them.

This is a 2010 3.5 SEL with 10,000 miles. I'm getting a slight vibration while driving at highway speeds only when I'm on the pedal. As soon as I take my foot of the pedal and coast the vibration goes away which pretty much rules out any wheel or tire balance issues. The vibration is slight but noticeable. I can feel it through the wheel and seat. I have not taken her to the dealership yet but wanted to see if anyone else has had a problem with vibration. I was thinking it has to be engine, trans or driveshaft vibration. Being a new Edge owner, I'm not yet sure if this is a common problem.
