    Can you believe that the SHO/MKS actually have an electronic noisemaker in lieu of a BOV???

    LOL ... Yeah, the tech constantly gets better, and usually to our benefit. The only problem I have is that because a lot of these systems do their work quietly in the background, when a trouble spot does arise, it can leave you high & dry because you have NO idea what to do. That's one of the reasons I get extended warranties, just easier to plan that way for me

    It is if you want them to last. I suppose you could skip it if you are quite sure the alignment is spot-on, or if you drive on glass-smooth roadways. But those are a distant memory now, even with new roads or resurfaced roads ...

    Best of luck, Weltyed!

    The 2011+ have adaptive tunes from the factory, so they can take advantage of different grades of gasoline. But if the engine has a problem, you might be running on tables for 89 or 91 gasoline when you have actually 93 in the tank. But if the engine is running well, then definitely, more powah, more mpg, hooray!

    Making progress ... I hope ... at least they are working with you and there are no hits to the pocket!

    If you have AWD, always replace all 4 tires, as a rule. If you have FWD, 2 at a time is fine. If only replacing 2 tires, new tires should go on the back in a FWD vehicle, to give them time to break in properly. At the next scheduled rotation, the new tires will be ready to serve as the driven tires. Alignment whenever you get tires is a must.

    Great pic of the Edge btw, Machan Why do you think the fuel economy is worse in the GCC, omar? Is it the constant high heat/dust in the air/etc?

    Do drain & fills at short intervals initially. As it thins out with each fill, should be easier to pump out more. Measure how much you are putting back in each time, if you can get the stated capacity out, that'd be perfect! You do have to use a flexible hose to get to the bottom. Like these kits: http://amzn.com/B000CMDPBM http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_x_22973737-P_x_x http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006AZKBO4

    Definitely check out the PTU fluid then. It uses 75w140 gear lube (specs in owner's manual). More useful info regarding the PTU in this thread: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/10914-ptu-leak-failures/

    Replace the brake booster? That'd be my first thought.
  19. WWWPerfA_ZN0W
    Not really. I took a can of compressed air (like they use for computers) and cleaned the vicinity of the coils. You really don't have to worry about much after that, as the boots on the coils are bolted down and are designed to keep the spark plug wells clean. If you doing this work in a garage or covered area, you should be fine.

    H&R's?

    There might be an issue with the SJB (smart junction box) - short in wiring ...

    AWD - start with checking the PTU & driveshaft for signs of leakage. Hopefully no metal shavings in the PTU fluid! Check exhaust heat shields, may be loose. Usually a buzzing sound, but if vibrating fast, could sound like that. Any recent work done on the Edge?
  24. WWWPerfA_ZN0W
    How many miles on your Edge? Is the noise continuous or intermittent when coasting? Is it only when you start up it up and drive away after letting it sit for some time? AWD immediately begs the question: PTU. So check the PTU fluid condition, see if there are any signs of leaks on the unit or the driveway. With your foot on the brake, work slowly through the gears and listen carefully to see if you can hear it while the Edge is not moving. Did you install the brakes yourself (rotors AND pads, or just pads or ...)? Are the caliper slide pins and pistons moving freely? Is the transmission that was installed new/recertified/used? Check all nuts & bolts on the parts replaced to make sure everything is mounted properly & securely. May have to use loctite to secure those that have come loose.

    Don't know about recording, but 360 view would be #1 priority. Recording a close second.
