Glad to hear it. Still showing $4.95 around 208xx ZIPs.

I was perusing the WalMart and Advance Auto sites today. WalMart has the Motorcraft 5Qt jug at about $18.50, so I checked over at Advance Auto. $4.95????? Unbelieveable! So to test it out, I placed an order for 4 jugs online. Let's see what happens when I go to pickup the order. Prepared to face rejection, but if it works, hey, I ain't complaining. Probably use the old "Not responsible for typographical error" excuse. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_5w-20-synthetic-blend-motor-oil-motorcraft_8030012-p

Sounds like fuel pump/filter is the next thing to be replaced. If gas is so bad, would definitely have clogged the filter over time. Don't know if filter can be replaced separately from pump though. Both are in-tank, I believe.

I got some LC orange and white pads to go with Meguiar's 105/205 series. Supposed to be really easy for novices, plus the polishing compound is easily available locally. I might try the DG/B&S combo Edgieguy recommended above, if I can get them at a good price. Not sure what kind of paint the Edge has (soft/hard), so I will have to be extra cautious the first time around. I have only ever handpolished a car, once, a LONG time ago. That was a lot of work

Nice, sharp looking vehicle! Pls. post some pics when you take delivery. Wish you a long and happy journey with your new Edge.

That's great to hear! What made you decide to build the custom harness? Got any pics of your installation/lighting?

That's what you get for sparking people's interest!

Did you check with the Ford dealer on this site? Some of the best prices on the web there! Check out this thread: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/10937-employee-pricing-on-all-parts-accessories/ They did get hit by SS Sandy, but will let you know their turnaround time.

Me being a lightweight in the cleanup/detailing world, gotta take it slow, hence the 7424 = logical choice. Started the washing job on the Edge yesterday, discovered the horror of swirls in the sun. Eeek! Regardless, the first time around, I am only going to clean the truck, then seal the paint with some sort of wax to get thru the winter. Spring rolls around, that's the time to do a full jobbie on it. hope to document it at that point.

I think I hear a fly buzzing around here somewhere, but I don't see anything ...

bonus points for engine bay pic!

Anyone know if the projectors work equally well with halogens & HIDs? I have heard that they are usually designed differently due to the differences in lighting technology.

Glad we have a vendor/member on here who does the color matching for us.

Could get a "used" Cayenne, 2003-4 vintage, starting at 15K, if you want to mod that ...

Welcome to the forum, glad to have you here! Nice looking rides, and family. Lots of great info and discussions on this forum, I have found it to be very useful pre-purchase and post-purchase. Currently looking into Weathertech mats/liners, and some sort of non-slip cargo management system. Future upgrades likely to include HID projector headlamps, and LED interior lighting. If or when engine/trans tunes become available, esp if they improve mpgs, that would be right up there as well.

Striking blue color, nice!

Egads!

18's with Crosstek's on 'em. Haven't gone thru a winter yet. If it's anything as bad as predicted, should get some great data on it.

^ Stealth mode officially gone bye-bye. Now you get to let us know how much HP and MPG you gained

Doesn't seem like DDM x-shipped. Though they MAY have an option to do so. Re: the 10 minute test, probably enough residual voltage in the ballast to work correctly. If only we could crack one open to examine the circuitry inside, or get a curious engineer involved in testing Just starting to read up on how these things work, http://faqlight.shopower.com/hl-hid-ballasts.htm.

Any visual indicators of changes in the ballast design? Curious to see if they indeed made a 1:1 replacement or sent an "upgrade"/part that is actually tested before shipping.

Wish I had room in my bEDGEt for these. Hope you and your family came through the storm OK.

Most common cause is the electric fuel pump. How long has this been happening? Mine does it infrequently, but it is definitely annoying at that point.

Kinda like the warning: don't put lead additives in an unleaded-fuel-only engine! Between the plastics and metallurgical chemistry, engine science is just getting very complex.

The fact that there was a difference at all is worth investigating. A logical approach like akirby's would be my request to lend the results some weight.
