  1. not to add fuel to the fire, or oxygen to the gasoline, but, direct quote from the 2011 owner's manual For your convenience, your vehicle is equipped with a message center which determines the proper oil change service interval. You should perform the engine oil change as indicated by the message center. The message center will display ENGINE OIL CHANGE SOON or OIL CHANGE REQUIRED to indicate when an oil change is needed. The engine oil change service needs to be completed within two weeks or 500 miles (800 km) after the OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message is displayed. Your oil change service interval can be up to one year or 10,000 miles (16,000 km). Reset your Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ after each engine oil and filter change; refer to the Instrument Cluster chapter. If your message center is prematurely reset or becomes inoperative, you should perform the oil change interval at six months or 5,000 miles (8,000 km) from your last oil change. <---- Conservative approach Of course it says nothing about HOW the IOLM actually works.
  2. Take a look at candurin's thread here, since you have a 2011-14 Edge http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/17035-adding-oem-remote-start-kits-parts-explained-detailed-2011/
  3. Hoping to hear from people who have experimented with "sibling" parts for the Edge, but have not seen anyone try it yet.
  4. Welcome Welcome to the community, congrats on your newest acquisition, both are lookers 4 sure! The Titanium package is ... packed Ceramic interior should look pretty good, don't know I have seen any red/ceramic combos yet. AWD/FWD?
  5. mac has been able to gather a lot of data on how the Edge behaves & responds thanks to all the miles he puts on and willingness to experiment ... to an extent. Still won't tune LOL.
  6. Welcome & congrats on finding such a low mileage unit! First Ford, or ...?
  7. macbwt = FWD only. No AWD, and it seems to work out fine!
  8. Does your OBD tool scan the MSCAN bus? All of them scan the HSCAN bus AFAIK. The climate control is on the MSCAN bus from what I remember.
  9. x2! Glad to see the catchcan installed, especially on the 2.0. Prev gen 2.0, should also, but probably too late now LOL.
  10. First, check for codes, as outlined in the attached document. That may provide direction. Pinpoint Test J is I believe what you will be working with. Also verify that the coolant, with engine off & "cold", is at the COLD FULL mark or slightly above. Verify the A/C refrigerant pressures also, the system may be low or have a leak. All kinds of weird behavior can happen when either of these two items are in question. 2008 Edge HVAC Module — Dual Automatic Temperature Control _DATC_ — Diagnostic Methods.pdf
  11. No commonly noted issues that would explain that. Possibly wiring/fuseboxes affected by heavy rain or high pressure carwash? Check PCM for codes tho doubtful it set any. Also make sure fuses & relays are snug in the underhood fusebox as well as the passenger compartment fuse panel.
  12. Routine maintenance *cough hack wheeze* will keep that water pump going. 105K is NOT the only interval Ford specifies for the first coolant change.
  13. There's always these if you want that stick out to not stick out http://www.jcwhitney.com/bushwacker-pocket-style-fender-flares/p2008746.jcwx
  14. Does it have the 3.5 or the 2.0Ecoboost engine? I hold nothing against the 2.0, but the 3.5 is a proven performer, requires pretty much routine maintenance to run well & for long. What is the warranty situation on this Edge? You can get extended protection direct from Ford, if that is what you prefer.
  15. There are some TSBs related to the GPS, but I will have to look at the specifics. As far as a Faraday cage, usually tin foil is enough, try a mylar bag.
  16. Welcome in, Doug, I do hope you end up buying the Edge Off topic, but are you a Penn State-r by any chance? J/C due to the username.
  17. Sounds like your Edge is tiptop!
