Good luck with your search. I am sure you will find a good deal on a 2013, saw some decent incentives floating around.

Do you know when the Edge was manufactured? Could have been sitting on the dealer lot for a while. Some dealers are good at keeping the battery fresh, most are not. Has the dealer installed any electronic options? May need to recheck connections. If everything checks out, and you still continue to experience problems, you may have a bad battery. Should be covered under warranty if so.

Welcome & congrats! Looks brand new Tint goes well with the paint scheme.

Yeah, you would think the PTU issues would be history, but then so should the door latch issues. Did you buy the Edge brand new? Have you checked the transmission fluid level? A low level of fluid anywhere in the transmission/PTU/RDU will affect the "feel"/acceleration of your vehicle. I have the lowly 3.5L with the lower output, but it MOVES when I step into it. The thing to keep in mind is that due to adaptive learning, the PCM is set into a "frugal" mode, conserving fuel, and thus being detrimental to acceleration. If you throw in a couple of aggressive driving sessions, that will help the PCM be responsive like you expect it to be. Or go drastic and disconnect the battery for a while to force the PCM to enter learning mode immediately

Do these units state their capacitance? The image on the website is too small to decipher.

So this could be the ABS tone ring in action? I did not feel any pulsation in the brakes, just heard the "scritching" noise. I was driving downhill, starting at a light, turning very slowly (btwn 5-10 mph).

Had the same experience yesterday, on ice/snow and only while turning. Have not heard it on slippery, rain-slicked roads. Maybe the sound is being reflected better on snow/ice, or hearing the surface being cracked/crunched as the weight/wheel force shifts?

Looking good!

Welcome & congrats! Nice looking ride, and great mods

The color of the fluid is lighter than for years past for sure. Use a strong light, and look for the fluid "blob" as viewed at an angle.

BTW, what kind of noise was it making? Buzzing or ratcheting or ...? The blower fan in mine buzzes, but only when shutting it down on cold days.

Welcome to the community! Gives us all hope that our rides will last indefinitely into the future Like they ask in all the weight loss and skin care commercials, "What is the secret to your success?". OC is my color of choice too, BTW.

Welcome to the forum! What year is your Edge, and when did you acquire it? That is a sweet color choice, and we need some pix Search is definitely your friend, I have found. Look forward to your participation

That stinks! But it seems that if you have documented the origination of the cam phaser problem at 45K, maybe you can talk Ford into at least sharing the cost on that one. The wheel bearing issue, I think only covered until the B2B warranty runs out, so no joy there, but worth a try anyway.

You mean the GT500 model, right?

Tackled the front 3 on the Edge today, plan to tackle the back 3 when I have more time. Had to use a 6" extension on my 5/8" spark plug socket to remove. Torqued new plugs to approx 132 in-lbs. All 3 locations had the same characteristics: Plug condition: not the best, but serviceable. May have been running a bit rich, or not providing complete combustion. Dielectric grease found smeared all over the top half of the plug. NEVER seen that before. Plug gap: 0.077-78 (new plugs SP411 gapped to approx 0.054) Journals: Clean & Dry; blown out with compressed air prior to plug removal Coils/boots: Very good condition, but VERY difficult to remove, had to be persistent. Recommend covering nearby "hard" surfaces first to avoid scrapes/injury. When removing the plug wires from the coils, pull the orange tab out, then depress the black tab in the center before attempting to remove. If you don't depress the black tab in the center, good luck to you. Threading the new plugs in was a bit unnerving, as I found the path less than precise. Felt like the plug was wandering a bit, and had to be careful to take the path of least resistance to avoid crossthreading. Applied a tiny amount of Permatex dielectric grease to inside of coil boot prior to installation on plug. Startup afterwards sounded much better (less noisy). Hopefully the euphoria will translate into mpg's too! Will post pics later.

Any insight into Ford's longterm fueling strategy? They have a turbo for the Edge, why not a hybrid?

Hey frozennuts! How is your Edge holding up for you so far?

Definitely hoping for a diesel option at some point!

Might help. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/6040-front-license-plate-holder-removal/

That would be cool if only the "attachments" were needed. I thought the factory option was leather power seats only, not in fabric. Mine are fabric, and I would love to convert the passenger seat to power-enabled.

I am running 5W Cree-based festoons for rear dome & cargo, nice lights, but they do not use the reflector to its' fullest potential. Therein lies the problem. There ARE 360-degree or "corn" type festoons available, but I do not know how bright they really are. Dan at DTBL specifically designed his lights to maximize potential in the Edge setup, and the results prove it. A thread of possible interest to you: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/12851-brightest-leds/

35W is most commonly used, 55W can be added with a couple of extra parts & direct connection to battery. If you drive a lot on dark/empty roads, the 55W may be the better way to go. Otherwise, the 35W is a bit easier to install, has enough light output, and much less chance of annoying oncoming traffic. Usually more a question of installing the bulbs properly in the sockets and making sure the headlights are aimed properly. Plenty of good reads on HIDs on the forum, along with a couple of nice how-to's. See what else you might want to do: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/12565-how-tos-powertrain-electronics-body-more/ 12Edge just put up a How To for an OEM type look/install if you want to go that route.

Put in an HID kit (35W should be fine) also, if mildly "smoking" the headlights. Don't need less light on the road

Welcome to both the site and the Ford family, and congratulations! Well done on your upgrades, haven't seen many of the Brooklands around
