I would offer them $17,000. Looks like a good deal.

Anythings possible when you have money. The answer would be no.

Someone on here raved about thr Toyo Versado CUV. I put them on my '07 and they are awesome tires in every aspect. They are $150 per tire. The stock lattitude HP's got really noisy as they wore down and were horrible and scary in the rain driving through puddles.

I use Turtle wax bug remover in a spray bottle. Then apply Lanes carnauba wax after removing bugs. The dryer sheet thing sounds very interesting and I can't wait to try that out ! When I had my dirtbike.....many moons ago, I only used WD-40 to clean the plastic.....that stuff takes off EVERYTHING and never damaged the plastic. I would be hesitant about applying it to the bumper and not wiping it off though.

Thiose rims look sweet ! Classy and bold but they look like they belong on the vehicle. I would have gotten a taller sidewall tire to fill the wheel well out a bit more and retain a somewhat smooth ride.....but that's just me. Cannot go wrong with blazing copper....I wish they offered this color on the '11.

I replaced all 4 rotors and pads front/rear at 50,000. The rears didn't really need pads but I like doing everything at once. Some people on here have had pads replaced at 20,000 and some are at 60,000 + with original pads/rotors. Have them replace the pads/rotors before you buy it. Just another bargaining tool.

I'm interested in this thread. Seems like retrosolutions would be the last choice @ $50.00 a pair !!!

I cannot believe the '11's are still having this issue ! Why doesn't Ford just ditch the PTU design and use the design of another car manufacturer. This is utterly ridiculous. I am so glad I did not go with the AWD.

Personally, I think the only gamble is not getting the extended warranty coverage. Paying a thousand and change up front gives me piece of mind knowing that I will not be stuck with a huge repair bill if something breaks on my vehicle. To each his own on this one but to compare purchasing extended warranty coverage to a game of roulette is ridiculous.

Your math is correct for an engine with an ignition distributor.

I think that you might find that the ignition system in this case has no distributor and fires each plug at least once for every revoultion of the crankshaft. In other words, the crankshaft sensor triggers spark for both the compression and the exhaust stroke. The voltage required for the exhaust stroke firing is very low compared to the power stroke firing.

.

There is absolutely no spark on the exhaust stroke of the edge or any internal combustion engine for that matter. Your exhausting the burned air/fuel mixture from the cylinder so why would that need spark.......?

Why didn't you just re-use the stock sensors ?

Sorry for the bad news but the bearings cannot be replaced. You need to buy the whole hub assembly with the bearings already pressed on.

Great write-up. Thanks !
