just an fyi for those looking for a bit more power

black plasti dip should do it. and if you dont like the outcome, you can just peel it off and you're back to original look

is your bluetooth set to "discoverable"?

you did pretty good but you can do better by taking the purchase agreement to your bank and have them refinance it @ the 2.9% you were pre-approved for. win-win for you, you got the extra ford rebate and lower interest rate. i did this.

@ fordguru - i too appreciate your posts. they are very insightful and really gets you thinking. now im intrigued by your suggestion to adapt the 5.0 cai into the edge. are you talking the whole cai system to include intake tubes, etc or just the 5.0 stock airbox?

edit - is this change applicable to the Ecoboost motor??

not being negative about this, but can someone help me understand why you would want an aftermarket filter?

 

as the original poster has now learned the hard way, these engines are already pushing the envelope of performance on emissions legal programming. any change in A/F ratio is going to negatively impact the system as a whole.

 

Not to mention any dealer CAN deny working on your vehicle, and depending on if you have an attitude can submit a request to have your powertrain warranty voided based on system modifications.

 

just sayin....if your edge or edge sport doesn't have enough power for you that you have to risk ruining the engine, maybe you should have considered an SHO taurus, fusion sport, focus ST (when they come out) or even a mustang.

 

i know i'm gonna piss alot of people off with this, but i'm just saying this as somebody that works for a dealership and sees what you guys don't, which is the guy who put the aftermarket filter on and now has a check engine light and a throttle body whose plates look like they were put in a sandblaster. or even worse a 2011 edge sport with a rod through the side of the block with only 42k on it. upon further inspection, we found modified fuel tables via superchips, line pressures in the tranny that were FAR beyond the design strength, 5 injectors with blown pintles which were leaking fuel into the cylinders and causing a hydrolocking effect which is where the rod through the side of the engine came from.

 

don't think it can happen? PM me and i'll give you the contact info for the 2 unlucky guys that got to meet the engineers that came down personally to see how in the world an engine like the 3.5 and 3.7 could throw a rod or destroy a throttle body.

Both of these guys told me to pass their story on to help others out, and as i said in my introduction thats why i joined, to learn and help when i can.

i just want to point out that he did not just change the air filter, he swapped to a totally different air induction system. I would not think getting an air filter that is not ford/oem branded will be considered a modification. unless i am totally in left field with this logic.

i totally agree that speed mods should be done to vehicles engineered for it.

The rear panel is fixed - it doesn't operate. Unless you're talking about the shade in which the answer is still no.

yup, i was talking about the shade. thanks for the reply.

is there a way to independently operate the front and rear moon roof?

For those thinking about exhaust upgrade.

2010-2012 Flex EcoBoost "Eco-Flow" Axle Back Exhaust. a bit pricey but might be worth it if the claims are true

Same same.

 

 

 

 

Good point, it's probably turned off in the vechicle settings.

we did the push lock button once, then start button twice and it worked. thanks for all the replies

Just bought a 2012 Ford Edge Limited yesterday. Went out to start it this morning using my factory-installed remote start and it won't work. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you fix it -- or did you have to go to the dealer to have them reprogram the remote?
