  1. Looking to replace your brake booster (especially for 2007-2010 models) for better braking power? No pics, but step by step + hints in this thread http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/5071-brake-booster-diy/
  2. Door latch problems: light comes on, door won't latch properly unless door slammed, etc. Use electronic parts cleaner (thanks hunter!): http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/10869-door-ajar-warning-on-at-all-times/page-2?do=findComment&comment=97238 Or use a screwdriver/pipe cleaner & brake cleaner (thanks Ungo!): http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/18960-door-ajar-warning-on-at-all-times-fix Or implement an electronic workaround (thanks ylw!): http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/17687-any-work-around-for-door-ajar-issue/?do=findComment&comment=128410
  3. No trash but the windblown frenzy of nature wrought by open air driving. Regular interior cleaning & vacuuming a must!
  4. Since NEC is not making optical drives any more, I have been looking at Pioneer instead (e.g., http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-Electronics-Internal-Burner-BDR-208DBK/dp/B00A4ZXE40) For media, I have considered Verbatim my top choice for a long time (http://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-97457-Blu-ray-Recordable-25-Disc/dp/B00471HK0Q), preferably made in Germany. Holding out for 50 GB discs/burners, preferably RW, at a good price point, to step up from my dual layer DVD+R.
  5. You have now been officially initiated Enjoy!
  6. I think they can detect the massive change in atmospheric pressure immediately. Now if you put in a seat filter, that may help your cause.
  7.

  16. Moderator, please feel free to move to appropriate subforum as needed. This topic is intended to provide one-stop hunting for How-To's. Posts in this thread should only contain links to other posts (on the Ford Edge forum or elsewhere) that address the Edge or the MKX. That is about the only rule I can think of. Avoiding duplicate linkages is appreciated
  17. Welcome aboard! Since Ford has a stake in Mazda (or at least used to), it's more of a puddle jump than a creek jump Got any pics to share?
  18. I think it's time we had a HOW TO/STICKY section so this type of info is easy to find. I'd start a HOW TO thread, then add posts with links to each HOW TO topic, along with a short blurb on the contents/subject of the HOW TO. That would bring this kind of information under one roof.
  19. Finally, a great use for sale papers Great results, Cellbine, both the car & phone!
  20. Congrats & welcome! Delivery time seems to be 5-6 weeks, when did they tell you to expect yours? Details on the Ranger too!
  21. 2011 Edge Limited? AWD or FWD (since you have an Outback, I am biased to AWD)? CPO? Warranty? If AWD, would ask about powertrain issues, specifically the PTU. Definitely ask to see the OASIS report along with the Carfax/autocheck. This will show you the repair history of the vehicle at Ford dealerships, beyond what CF/AC will show you. Ask what TSBs/service bulletins have been performed? Check the cabin filter to see if its clean/new. Ours was FILTHY. During your test drive, check for any hesitation/surging issues, under hard acceleration or while slowing down then speeding up (as if to make a turn or a yield). How hard is it to close the doors. At this mileage you should be ok, but the door latches eventually stop working and you have to slam hard/get the part inside the door panel replaced. Probably more regarding electronics, someone else will have to speak to that, I have a pretty basic SEL.
  22. CNC machining at least? Best of luck!
  23. Unfortunately, this "oversight" will result in rust (surface at least) over time if you don't keep the bolts/track protected. I've gotta clean mine, fun!
