  1. Hi everyone, I am going to attempt changing the serpentine belt on my 2008 Edge SEL AWD but wanted to see if anyone has any pointers. I looked up under the engine area and it looks awful tight. Does anyone have a diagram of where the tensioner is or the easiest way to get to it to release the belt tension? Also, there is a smaller belt on the backside of the main pulley. Should I replace that as well and how dificult is that one? I have pretty good mechanic skills and tools but would like to know what I'm getting into ahead of time. Thanks for a reply!
  2. Hi All, I am in the position to get new tires for my 2008 Edge, SEL AWD. I have the factory Michelin Latitude HP's on them with 53,000 miles. So far I have been very pleased with them and would not have a problem getting the same tire. But, my local tire shop I deal with and trust, says that they recommend the Michelin LTX M/S for the Edge and that they have frequently seen 65,000 + miles out of them. When I do my research, I find that they appear "better" rated on the Michelin website but they are intended for Light truck use and the site actually redirects me to the Latitude HP's. Anyone using these tires? Any pros or cons compared to the Latitude HP's? The tire shop also said I can be saving $17 per tire going with the LTX's over the Latitudes but I would hate to suffer from a louder or poorer ride. I am not upset with the aspects of the Latittudes. Also, I definitly want to stay with Michelins as they have always been a great quality, long lasting tire, with no issues. Thanks for all you advice!
