Wow that thing is messed up, hope you and all passengers are ok.
-
capnkirk52 I noticed you are only listing one tune with your X-Cal3, did you get a deal with only one tune, or is that the only one you use.
If it came with the three tunes that are listed on Evolutions page, you should list them all, maybe a better chance to sell it to one of the I want MPG people.
Just a thought.

For those that keep asking their dealers about the rollback, there is nothing they can do as it is a design issue. (Note issue not a flaw.)
As you can see in the animated gif, the red parking pawl drops into a notch when placed in park.
The Edge has less notches, which means it moves father before the pawl engages a notch.
Which makes for a stronger system, but causes a little more rolling.
As akirby has stated the parking brake should always be set when parking.
And to correctly do this is very simple.
1. Come to a complete stop.
2. While still holding foot brake, apply parking brake.
3. Remove foot from foot brake and allow parking brake to hold weight of vehicle.
4. Place shifter into park.
5. Remove seatbelt.
6. Open door, and exit vehicle.
I hope this clears things up for some of you.

And Evolution Performance also sells the X-Cal3 with tunes for the Edge.

Will there be a tune for 89?
If you go to their website, :stats: it shows it comes with three tunes. :happy feet:
:hyper: http://www.evoperform.com/shop/index.php?m...f7b538af743083d :hyper:
The defaults are 87, 91, and 93, but you can choose 89 for one of the tunes.
Have fun. :happy feet:

now the question is... is that plug you reference at the end of an extension of the harness - say a 1 foot cable extension - added at the factory that is actually plugged into a harder to access plug farther up the line and is just added to make the plug closer to the hitch and accessible.. or is that accessible plug up there and on every 2008 just waiting to get used IF you have a tow package added?
it would be cool if someone with a 2008 and NO tow package looked around under this general area to see if they could see said plug.
Wow this is just incredible, if you have not ordered yet, heck even if you have you can change it, just get the factory tow package.
At $395.00 it is a bargain, you get "Class II Trailer Tow Package: Class II receiver hitch, engine oil cooler, larger radiator, upgraded battery and cooling fans, wiring harness and 4-pin connector", and it does not hang down below the rear valance, like aftermarket ones do.
Even if you never tow, the oil cooler is still working for you, not to mention resale appeal.
You are going to spend around $33,000, don't cheap out over a few hundred.

Are you able to do a tune for my SCT 2.. ? i.have one for my 06 Mustang GT..
I thought x-cal2 were vin locked, so you had to buy a different one for each vehicle.
It would only make sense, since they are a business trying to make money.

Just another reason ya gotta love Bob Hope. :happy feet:

Looks good, makes the tails blend in when not lit up.
And I here the film hardly dims the light output when in use.

If it weren't for the fact that I get Ford X-plan pricing, I'd be at the Infiniti dealer right now instead of the Ford dealer (does anyone who doesn't get Ford plan pricing actually buy Fords anymore?).
If only it was in my power to take away your x-plan pricing I would, so you would not have to lower yourself to drive a pittyful Ford product.
Happy trails joker.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE IT SOMETHING IS TYPED IN ALL CAPS? YOU CAN STILL UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE ASKING. FOR SOME OF US, IT IS A LOT EASIER TO READ CAPITAL LETTERS THAN LOWER CASE LETTERS.
It is a long established forum/chat room etiquette, that typing in all caps is like YELLING, so hence it is considered rude.

in the 30 min's it took you to write your reply, I bet you felt silly once it got posted. check your time stamps
No not a bit since I did capture your original response.
And it was about 15 minutes, but even if it was 30 haste makes waste, or mistakes.
Hey, thanks for sticking up for me, yes I did forget to say it is a MKX, in that post! anyway my shade still flops! tommy o.No problem, I just wish I could offer some help, with the flapping sun screen, other than to say open them up and let the sun shine in. :happy feet:
-
Probably by now you've read another of his posts where he states it's an EDGE. Don't worry, no retraction on YOUR part is necessary.
I wouldn't think of it, considering out of his 4 posts only 2 list type, and both time he states MKX.
hey, everyone! just aline to say I happened on this site 2 days ago, very much enjoy seeing the changes everyone is making to their cars! I just bought an 07 MKX, & adding some BLING , also want to do a grill, if anybody comes out with a nice one? also want to lower mine, would appreciate any feed back on springs, etc., cost of them? a nice set of 20" also on the list! again, hello! Tommy OverstreetYes!, I am also looking for the same items, we really need something for the front of the MKX, btw, check out brighttrim.com, they have nice chrome items, I have installed several of their parts, :shades: -
once again, my engine light turn on today. I call ford dealer right away, and book a appointment on Monday at Ford dealer. Anyone have any idea, if my engine light turn on like this so frequently. Can I ask dealer give me some compensation since I just bought my edge one month ago. this is the third times!
Thanks!
So first off did you do as Robert suggested, and put it back to stock.
And if not why would the dealer owe you comensation, for a problem more than likely caused by your aftermarket lights.
-
Even though the OP states his is an Edge, and should not be more than mid to high 30's.
Tommy bought an MKX, which does not take much at all to go over 40k.
Too bad you guys did not get the facts right, I guess because he did not put MKX in his name, one could ASSume he had an Edge.
But hey it's just more fun to bash people, why let facts get in the way.
-
I have no idea about the stuff they are selling on E-bay, but I can only guess it's not worth buying.
I was qouted $500.00 to get a clear bra put on the front of my Mustang.
Now that does cover the enitre front and about the first third of the hood.
I'm a believer in you get what you pay for, so if you want to protect your Edge get a good one professionally installed.
I almost forgot, all of my vehicles have been girls, riding around in a dude would make me feel funny.
-
Sorry dude I'm just not feeling the sticker.
Being old school the only cars that have stickers, are race track only, or rice.
As far as wheels, just too much material for me, I like a more open design.
The gill dosen't look too bad, but a better picture would help, to really check it out.
But hey that's just me, if you like it that's all that really matters.
-
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Edge, always glad to meet another long time Ford family member.
Welcome to the forums, caution they are habit forming.

I bet when she goes to football games and sees the two teams on the field in their huddles, she thinks
they are all talking about her.
Issues....party of one.
No the football players are talking about me, I thought eveyone knew that.
And since my earlier post in this thread was totally ignored, I too am taking my toys and going home.
Not.

I agree with Edgy Girl, an electronic odometer not reading exactly correct is not a major flaw.
And because it is electronic it can be fixed very easy by dealer, alot easier than a mechanical one.
And as Edgy Girl asked what is the difference between what the road side mile markers say and what the odometer says.
Maybe you could find a friend with a GPS you could borrow, and check it against the GPS.

I've seen a number of formulas that calculate X-Plan. Does anyone know the definitive one? I'm also trying to figure out what other charges I would expect on a final bill.... advertising, delivery, taxes, administrative fees, registration, ...???
Basically I'd love to know, walking in to the dealership, what my final bill will look like.
Here is a link to what is suposed to be the full rules for x-plan purchases.
And a link to apply for a pin number.
Hope that gives you all the info you need, good luck.

Unless you are in love with the chrome plated plastic of the Ford wheels, save the money and get some after market 20's, and some 265/45/R20 tires to put on them.
That way you can pick the style of wheel, and brand and type of tire you want, it will probably cost more but be truely custom.
That's just my 2 cents, but it is your money, so you will need to do what makes you happy. :happy feet:

That is awesome, now that salesman knows how to make a sale.

The brochure I picked up at the dealer is clear. A Class I trailer hitch receiver is listed as standard equipment on the SE and SEL models (rebadged SEL and SEL+ according to the dealership).
The Class II with all the associated mechanical upgrades is an option on both.
What have other Canadaian buyers experienced?
Your brochure must be different from the one I have, because mine says "Class 1 towing".
No mention of any hitch, of any type.
But even if the brochure says, a receiver hitch is standard on all models, legally they owe you nothing, read the fine print at the bottom.
"Ford Division reserves the right to change product specifications at any time without incurring obligations."
Not saying you can't try, but don't get your hopes up.
Twp Jet skis and trailer Max 2000lbs?

As the weight of PWC can vary greatly, it's not possible to give a correct answer.
So you can either, get the whole trailer & 2 PWC's weighed at a truck scale, or find out weight of each of the PWC's and the trailer, then add them together, if 2000 pounds or less you are ok.
