So my 08 Limited has been experiencing random fan speed or no fan at all and sometimes just works. Would replacing this, 5 19E624 Blower motor speed control (dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control [EATC] vehicles) possibly fix the problem? I don't want to replace it if that's not the problem. Thanks, John

I know its been a while, forgot to rely back to this. This got rid of the noise for me!

I'll give that a try. Thanks!

I have a 2008 ford edge and there is a creaking noise coming from either the doors or the b-pillar on the drivers side when you go over speed bumps or drive on an angle such as pulling in or out of an elevated drive way or ramp. So when the body twists or flexes there is a creaking noise coming from the b-pillar area. I don't think it's an easy answer such as a trim piece rubbing because the trim feels pretty solid and when I push on it the trim doesn't move or make a noise. Any Ideas? I may take the trim off and drive around to see if I can pinpoint the source. Thanks! John

You can plasti dip them. Look around the forum and you can get more info on it. It's not permanent so you can undo it if you don't like it and it will give you and idea if black is what your looking for.

That video was very informative, even though I don't think the 3.5 is quite like that. I guess the factory didn't use anti seize?

Plasti dip your grill. You can find some pics and threads about doing this here. You can also search youtube for plasti dip and get all kinds of ideas. Search the forum and I'm sure you'll find the answers to your questions. I have no experience with 2 and 3. I purchased a 08 Limited last year and couldn't be happier with it, except for the plastic chrome wheel covers.

Great post! Makes me want to go change my plugs now. I'm at about 61k miles.

I'm no expert on this but I want to add this as well. The 77 series fipk is metal as opposed to the 57 which is plastic. Think heat... The metal one has been proven to have less HP gains than the 57. That also goes along with what Dingo said. I think the 77 series is little more than bling for the engine bay. K&N can increase HP and Torque. They do provide dyno sheets for some vehicles. I had one on my colorado, which K&N provided a dyno result for. http://www.knfilters.com/dynocharts/57-3043_dyno.pdf And my butt dyno noticed a difference too, lol. Bottom line is with the right part, the 57 series, and the right combination of upgrades you can realize performance benefits from a fipk, just not on an edge, IMO.

Same here. Kind of like fixing a rattle or squeak is as easy as turning the radio up, LOL

Can you get the diagnostic codes and post them? I had the cam phaser solenoid go bad on my previous vehicle and I pulled it out and cleaned the screens because they were clogged. Put it back on in and that fixed the problem. I've also heard the screens can fall off them and cause problems. If the actual cam phaser went bad they will likely have to pull the front and top end of the engine apart, very involved.

I actually like this one better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc6jCGHj6Nc

That's awesome. Thanks.

Looks great! Please make a how to! I know this would make a lot of people happy including myself.
