Thanks, will give that a go.

Interesting. There is more tie-in with body lines. Grill matches better with the wheels. The pillars flow out into the hood, would rather see a prominent bump like the SHO's have. Hopefully, interior space & ride height will not be compromised. Would really like to see better struts on manual tailgates (if that is even offered).

How did you take the bottom part of the airbox out, Msl? I unbolted the one bolt that holds it to the frame in front, but there seems to be something underneath holding it also. Wanted to clean it out in vitro. TIA.

Complete change in character Can you post a clip from outside the car (front/back)? Wondering how much the snorkel was suppressing!

Welcome & congrats! Quite a bit of info on this site for the beloved Edge How did you come to pick the Edge? Post up some pics when you get a chance!

Carfax and Autocheck will not contain warrantied repair information. This is where OASIS, Ford's proprietary service management system accessible by dealers & employees, can help. I think there MAY still be holes in the history, but you should get a much better view with the OASIS report.

Seriously good mileage! Today for the first time ever after a gas station fill, I got 26 mpg on the 4 mile ride home (hilly, but only 2 lights). Prev best was 22 mpg.

Will they show you related autocheck/carfax reports? OASIS reports? So you have an idea of the service history.

AND you waited sooooo long before posting it to the forum! Very nice piece. Do you collect watches also?

Lookin' good! Better ride AND mileage, can't beat that Aren't those tires a bit wide, though? How do they sit?

Even the interior of your Edge is so clean, Jared! Love the pics of the awesome fearsome trio

24 mpg is pretty good! Next time you take a "longer" trip, be sure to take a snapshot and add a post in this thread: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/12704-challenge-patience-mpg/

I think we should at LEAST put a TURBO BOOST button on the dash and play the Knight Rider theme Looking forward to your transformed Edge!

Ford puts out a coupon for their fuel saver package from time to time, watch for it on the Ford site http://owner.ford.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Owner/Page/ServiceCouponsPage Don't know if this is valid in Canada or not. Also changing your own oil is relatively easy, cost would be the new oil.

Welcome & congrats! Tell us more about your Edge and post pics at will What mods are you looking to do to it?

Per my 2007's shop manual, these are the diagnostic steps: Low engine coolant level Engine overheating Plugged or partially plugged heater core Temperature blend door is binding or stuck Temperature blend door actuator Heater hose is kinked or binding (check very carefully when engine is warmed up, may be hot enough to burn) The actual controls (mechanical/electronic) are not mentioned, but there could be a fault in there as well.

AC was blowing cold air? When on heater, is air coming out? Was the Edge already a bit warmed up before you used the heater? If the air is not coming out warm, could be a plugged heater core.

From what I gather on the Web: Electronic Brake Distribution (as seen on this spec page) is tied into the ABS system. Trying to achieve vehicle stability under all conditions, and possibly using the rear brakes first/more under light braking. Also trying to prevent nosedive under vehicle bumper in case of impact. At a recent oil change at the dealership, the rear brakes were noted as YELLOW, fronts as GREEN. Although I have no idea when/if the pads were replaced (bought the vehicle used), most of my braking is light/pre-emptive.

According to this page http://www.ford-taurus.org/taurusinfo/Engine/ , yes, it is an interference engine. But I cannot find other references to confirm accuracy.

Welcome, and glad to have you here!

2 amps when off? Wayyyy too much current. You need to find the source of the "phantom" draw. I have heard of CD players going bad and not shutting off completely. An aftermarket security system could do this also.

Would like to thank each and every one of the contest entrants. Very worthy vehicles for consideration

AWDs get 1-2 mpg's less than FWD's. If you keep the Edge out of the weather, then that will help your mpg's. The trips are too short to properly warm up the engine AND take advantage of the efficiency. I commuted to the bust station just like you to the train station, for years, and got penalized as a result In the ye olde days, they said that short trips like this are also hard on the engine, don't know if that still holds true with modern engine management tech & modern lubricants. Taking it easy on the gas on short trips helps too

Strut mounts and/or subframe bushings is where I'd start looking, in general.

Haven't done this yet. But it has been mentioned that the interior panel is glued on, in addition to being bolted on. I guess take a heat gun or hair dryer to it?
