All's well... ?

BTW did you ever try resetting the opening height? Mine doesn't have this feature, but I belief that you open it, then manually set it to the height you want, then press and HOLD the soft button on the open hatch, until you hear a chime, indicating that the new height has been set.

Not a biggie as far as I'm concerned, but nitrous is illegal in some states (Maryland assigns 5 points if they catch you). One thing I would do if I were you is check with your insurance company to see if they have any requirements for this type of modification. Better to be safe than sorry.

I have the 3.5 and am well satisfied with it. Local Ford garage told me to change from orange to green coolant as it was the cause of water pump failures and heater core clogs. Can't say it is the cause, but one member, MacFordEdge, reported that he has put on over 200k miles without failure. As only a small percent fail, I would guess that old coolant has a lot to do with it.

I'm running Bridgestone Ecopia's 245/50R-20. Super smooth and very quiet. Replaced my last set in mid 30's to return to full tread for traction. Still had usable life.

According to tirerack.Com, the OEM tires were the Hankook Venus S1 Noble ($181.92) and the Perelli Scorpion Verde All Season ($172.65). Both are 245/50R20. Keep in mind that the tires supplied to OEM are better than what's sold on aftermarket. Had an engineer friend who I worked with years ago, who worked with GM. What he learned about tires was, the OEM tire manufacturers spin balanced every tire right on their production line. The best ones went to GM. (Less lead used to balance). The ones that needed more lead to balance went to aftermarket.

From the Techron website FAQ: Q: How often should I add Techron to my tank? A: Techron is recommended for use every 3,000 miles or right before an oil change. You should limit your use of Techron to no more than five bottles or treatments between oil changes.

Only way I could make it faster would be to run across the center of the round-abouts. Got plenty of the ©redit ©ard (D)ebt however. Doesn't make the MKX go any faster.

You didn't get the high pressure and return lines reversed, did you?

I have an 09, and no noise or problems. About 115k. My guess it's miles related. How many miles does your car?

We hit a new record going to the store this morning. Low 13's (minutes) and only three potholes.

Go back and spray the door stop (strap) top & bottom with silicone spray. Usually it's crud at the guide at the door that's causing the rubbing (squeek) sound.

Anyone know where I can find a Stormy Daniels bobblehead? The bigger the better. Told the wifiepoo and she just glared at me. She wants a Chuck Conners bobblehead. (The Rifleman).

Check with your local Ford dealer and see if they would interested in trading sizes for one of the used ones on their lot.

Motorcraft. Nothing is better than OEM. (Except the aftermarket advertising).

It may also be a good idea to verify the the previous owner changed the plugs and fluids (especially the coolant). If you can't verify, would be best to do asap at these miles. Old plugs (change at 90k) can draw too much current to jump the wide gap and overheat to coils, burning them out $$$. Old coolant loses its protection and can go acid or goo up the heater core. I read on another forum where a dragging brake caused a awd problem. I would also imagine that a bad sensor could mess up the system. Did you check for codes?

Just to throw in my 2 cents, I have a 2009 MKX, with over 115k. I took out another extended warranty late last year. Had the option of going full coverage for two years or powertrain only for three. (Went with the powertrain as it covers everything I need, and give me three years). So yes, you can easily get a full coverage warranty if you want. Here's a tip I used. I went online and printed out three offers from online Ford dealers. Then made an appointment with local dealer's comptroller and listened to his offers. Decided on tbe 3-year powertrain warranty and then brought up the online bids. He asked to see them and immediately offered to match the lowest. I hem-hawed, and looked disinterested, so he sweetened to pot by offering a zero deductible (if I have all my work done in his garage. $100 deductible at any other Ford dealership). Follow up with what WWWPerf said about online dealers selling Canadian warranties. Then see if your local will match (they should, doesn't matter who sells the warranty and any Ford garage will honor). Then when he agrees to match, sit there with a goofy grin on your face and stare blindly into his eyes, as if expecting him to add more. If he still doesn't get the message, blink several times. If he still doesn't budge, add "just match"?

I was responding to Jeff13edge and his car with 117k miles. I see you have a 2013 but don't know your km. Besides considering fluids, it's most important to change the plugs at 90k miles (guess that's about 144km).

Yup. Standard on the 2021 Edge with the 0.4L flathead upgrade. Also heard that Ford was experimenting with plastic catolitic converters as well. Have to change them at every oil change though.

I was thinking of a static chip like in a key FOB to start the car. No battery needed.

...... you do an oil change every 30,000 miles?. ......Why so often? (G)

True enough. But the new ECO engines have plastic drain plugs.

Give you my thoughts. The best design was created by the Ford engineers when they designed the car.
