  1. Congrats on your new ride. Hope you enjoy it to the fullest.

    1)  The horn doesn't really blast, it just toots.  Has anyone added a second horn?  Is there wiring in place for a 2nd horn?  Would it be ok to add 2 loud aftermarket horns?

     

    A few members have already fixed that. The problem is Ford started to put only a single horn in 2019, the solution is to install the 2015-2018 model horn. See this thread.

     

    Sorry, I can't help on your other questions. For 2 & 3 there will probably be solutions for them, don't remember someone mentioning them though. For 4, that is probably not possible due to the Sync programming.

    I still need to trim, locate and drill the mounting holes, and test for fit. Hopefully, can get it done by the end of the day because tomorrow is Thanksgiving.

     

    May I suggest you add some indentations on the mold were the holes would be so that they would be easily located after making the product? Or maybe screw in screws so holes are ready? I am sure this is something you probably had it in mind, just in case.

    I just picked up my new to me 2019 Edge ST and my wife has a 2017 Flex.  
    Rather than carry around 2 fobs or leave one home and be potentially without when needed.

     

    has anyone tried to program 1 fob to 2 vehicles?

     

    my rationale....

    the fobs are only communicating in one direction, to the vehicle.  So once the vehicle is programmed to work with a fob, it shouldn’t be any issue for it to be programmed to a second vehicle?  No?

     

    Anyone see anything wrong with my rationale or point to anything that could go wrong?

     

    The 2019 ST uses a 2-way remote at 902 MHz (US) frequency while the Flex uses a 1-way remote at 315 MHz (US). Cannot be done with the stock remotes.

  4. Just to add one more point, if you leave the Edge idling for 30 minutes a message will appear in the instrument cluster and if no confirmation is given it will automatically shutdown. Hence if you find you had forgotten your key, make sure you don't leave the Edge unattended or turn off the auto shutdown in the settings menu (this setting will reset every time you restart).

    Oh I never claimed the original design was better. Once I run out of my bulk pack I'm still sticking with Motorcraft and the A revision, but for time being I'm glad I have a stock of the old stuff while others find more info about these. The plastic ends to me are (most likely false) peace of mind as it just appears to be stiffer, visually.  I know Mustang owners have had some issues with filters collapsing after Ford changed which part to use on their engines (I think the GT350's), so I'm just wary about a change like this.

     

    Maybe I misinterpreted what you stated as "Looks like a cost cutting measure" as the filter being inferior to the one before the cost cutting. Nevertheless, Forums are for discussions like these, hope you didn't take my reply as a criticism to you, it is just my opinion on the filters themselves.

    I am pulling this up on Tasca and it is saying that it won't fit my 2015? May I ask what year your Edge is/was that these parts fit on? 

     

    Mine is a 2016. The original part# are FT4Z-5820758-A & FT4Z-5820759-A which show up as discontinued. They installed the newer ones (with B suffix) which on the Tasca site show doesn't fit, but they obviously do.

    The more I think about it - I think they just removed 2nd gear from the 8F57 

     

    This will be easily determined once details of the ratios are disclosed.

    What I can't seem to find out is what the 2.3LEB Lincoln Corsair is using.  I would think it would also be a candidate for the 7F57 along with Bronco Sport and maybe Escape at some point.

     

    It is the 8F40 as stated in the Owner's Manual. What is also interesting is that the 2019 MKC with the 2.3L used the same transmission as the 2.0, the 6F35. For some reason the "35" transmission rating rating was ok before & now they put a "40" rating even though engine output was quite close. Guess they had developed it with the Bronco Sport in mind and saw it fit better with the 2.3 Lincoln.

     

    The 2020 Escape has 3 different transmissions, highest being the 8F35 as per the Owner's Manual.

    I think I remember something like that happening when the hood was open (or the latch was faulty).

     

    If the hood is open (or latch is faulty) an indicator in the instrument cluster will show that hood is open. But, even with the hood open it still will not honk. At least that's how it is on my 2016 Sport.

  9. The 2019-2020 ST's Transmission added 2 gears to the previous model's 6-speed. 1 ratio was an added overdrive (higher than the original for better highway fuel economy) and 1 ratio between the old model's 1st & 2nd creating a new 2nd ratio and making the old 2nd ratio a 3rd. This probably created too close ratios and an added shift when accelerating to 60 mph increasing the time. Since the old transmission's ratios were fine (no one complained all these years) I speculate they removed this 2nd and kept the overdrive. This makes sense to me because this is what I feel my 2016 Sport needs, an additional overdrive for highway fuel economy.

    By the way, here is media page for the 2021:

  10. As per the diagnostic image you posted, the fault is not currently present, it was a past event. They should do pinpoint tests to the ABS and/or Power Steering modules to try and determine a cause. What was happening when the fault first came? As per the manual (attached), C0051-67 refers you to Pinpoint test J (page 46) and some of  possible causes start with suspension and tire issues.

    I'm in the market for a set of downpipes and Zury is backed up until January, but I did see that Ultimate performance has a set for the Fusion. They are unsure if they will fit the Edge, but the part numbers seem to match up, but my only concern is if the one piece welded setup from Ultimate performance will work. Any knowledge of this would be great! Thanks! 

     

      Front Down Pipe Section 1 Front Down Pipe Section 2 Rear Down Pipe Section 1 Rear Down Pipe Section 2
             
    Fusion 5E212A 5G203A 5E212B 5G203B
    Edge 5E212A 5G203A 5E212B 5G203B

     

     

     

    You have to compare the full part numbers. The numbers you listed are only the middle part which identifies the type of part in Ford's system, which is the same for Ford vehicles, the Prefix & Suffix to that number will determine the exact part (model, year, version, ...etc.).

     

    For example, the full part# for 5G203A on the Edge is "F2GZ-5G203-J" while on the Fusion it is "GD9Z-5G203-C". I did not check all the parts, maybe some are identical.

    Looks like a cost cutting measure (again), at least to me. What are the ends made out of now? Is it just compressed paper between the pleats? I'm glad I bought a bulk pack of the original style a few months ago!

     

    Without having inside information you will never know which is actually better. just not having the end covers doesn't mean it is inferior. Another argument can be made that you actually have more filtering media due to the filter being longer after removing the end-covers. 

     

    Here is a comparison on another site, seems to favor the new design a bit. From that thread the new one seems to have better sealing, o-rings and inside cage.
