    Amazing on what and how you can fix a problem better when you do it yourself. Congrats and good job!!

    Best description of the bearing sound I can give is metal ping
  3. macbwt
    Let me guess a metallic clinking sound Right? If so then it is a wheel bearing that is not torqued down tight enough. I had a wheel bearing making a metallic clink sound on acceleration or turning starts. Solution. Torque it down some more might be an additional 10-15 in lbs more is needed. Once the axle nut was torqued down some more the clinking stopped. Bet that is it. Simple little fix.

    The CHT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with the temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as temperature increases, and the resistance increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature. The CHT sensor is installed in the cylinder head and measures the metal temperature. The CHT sensor can provide complete engine temperature information and can be used to infer coolant temperature. If the CHT sensor conveys an overheating condition to the PCM, the PCM initiates a fail-safe cooling strategy based on information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system concern such as low coolant or coolant loss could cause an overheating condition. As a result, damage to major engine components could occur. Using both the CHT sensor and fail-safe cooling strategy, the PCM prevents damage by allowing air cooling of the engine and limp home capability.

    The best solution is to have a diagnostic performed to ensure the temp sensor is functioning properly and not defaulted to the open/run position. It is obvious the circuit is remaining powered so a trace back to the sensor is the most logical solution to determine if the sensor is shutting down properly.

    You think they actually fixed the problem? I knew when I made the caption I was maybe jumping out there a bit, but if they have not corrected the issue in seven years?

    Ford Edge 2012

    Change the plugs and clean the TB while you are changing the plugs.

    A little discussion on the AWD Ford Edge PTU failures and my opinion on why and how they fail.

    Yep it will work.

    Cooling fans

    macbwt replied to Nickythebarber's topic in 3.5L

    LOL you will like this then...
  11. macbwt
    Not really much to go on so I will make a SWAG. 1. Belt either serpentine or power steering. 2. Sway bar link broken and you hear but it would be more consistent in noise. 3. It is a loading issues so more than likely a suspension related issue check LCA bushings, strut bearing but no way to check them unless you bounce the Edge. Mount GOpro under the suspected area and drive around you might get luck to catch it.

    Cooling fans

    Cooling fans failed just be sure to install the motorcraft fans then you will not have problems.

    Or this.
  14. macbwt
    you mean this.

    Decided to finally edit this video and post it. Happy I can get it out there. I now have and have had the HID lights on Lullubelle for a few weeks and they are working well. Had some issues but overcame them and got it all running.
  16. macbwt
    Question is then WHAT is the difference between the two part numbers? Physical design to accommodate the larger wheels or a better firmer shock? In this case it is assumed the fit will be the same since the design has not changed. Interchangeable? between models?
  17. macbwt
    As mentioned previously certain parts can be substituted, but as far as the fan goes it always seems to go back to the OEM motorcraft fan if you want it to work correctly.
  18. macbwt
    Just a question. Can anyone tell me the exact difference in the suspension components and assembly between a 2016 Edge Sport and a 2016 Edge Limited/SEL/SE? Is there actually any difference? Different shocks? Different LCA's and struts? Or is SPORT merely a name? and a (more horse power) engine? Really is there a difference? Prove me wrong in the assumption that all levels do not use the same suspension components.

    Jumping forward it has been almost two months now without any require repairs other then general maintenance on Lullubelle. Cruising right along. Blueberry has just returned from the Ford Dealership after having a Valve Body Separator plate replacement performed under Ford ESP and in accordance with TSB 11-12-10. MOMOSHA seemed happy so we all know what that means!! I am happy. The MACTFORDEDGE videos are on a production halt for a bit as some much needed rest and recuperation is needed. Once I get a 20/20 perspective I will resume

    Sway bar link. Go buy a new MOOG problem solver and watch this video.
  21. macbwt
    I am doubtful on the out come as you need to understand the Edge has torque steer always has and unless you completely redesign and engineer the drive train it will not change. Keep in mind you are using the same LCA they put in the Ford Edge SE and all models nothing has or was changed.
  22. macbwt
    Not really sure how you broke the dip stick tube, but hey I break stuff also so welcome to the club!!
  23. macbwt
    Agreed. In for one might as well replace both this way the balance is the same. I will note that the OEM LCA installed on the Edge is made of steel and the Moog LCA is made of aluminum. Which is good IMO as you save on un-sprung weight in your suspension and this is always better for trying to enhance handling and performance.
  24. macbwt
    These photos are of my 2011 Ford Edge Limited with 140K miles on the original LCA's IMO there is nothing wrong with yours.
  25. macbwt
    You are worried about basically not much. I just happened to have an LCA just laying around for a 2011 brand new from MOOG. Not much difference just look at the photos.
