  1. Soooooooo, you're gonna weld a couple of 4" nuts onto the back of your car? Oooooookkkkkkk then ?
  2. I ☆think☆ 100 ft/lbs is good for tires up to 20" & 168 ft/lbs is for 21" tires. As for using a torque wrench, remember that about 50 lbs is the practical limit for "most" people to be able to use, so you will need a 2' wrench to reach 100 lbs and a 3' wrench handle to hit 150. (I remember whole in the service, the mechs used 3/4" sockets with 4' torque wrench to torque nuts on helicopter transmission.
  3. Hate to think of those nuts flying off at 60 mpg. They could kill the driver of thr the car following.
  4. Any circuit that's hot with power off should work. Fuse 50 is the horn, hot at all times. But it will run your battery down.
  5. Yes, but the OP wanted a method to store the route in memory (with waypoints). Unfortunately the navigation system doesn't do this. Storing a destination in favorites only stores the final address, but not the POV's or actual route previously taken. When you choose the stored route from favorites, it calculates a NEW route from your then current location. The only work around I could find was to progrm the POV's separately and let treat each stored POV as a separate route. Works, but cumbersome.
  6. I would imagine that hanging a bunch of empty Viagra boxes on the hitch would be better. (Uh, too much?)
  7. I figured out a way to save a route with several destinations last summer. I started out by programming in each of the destinations. Then told the nav to start. It mapped out the route to the first destination and I selected quit. I mapped out all on tbe destinations in the same manner. >>The nav system automatically saves the last 40 destinations in memory<< Anyway, the day we left I chose "previous destinations" and chose the destination we were going to first. After visiting I then selected the 2nd one from "previous destinations" & it reprogrammed from where we were. And so on.
  8. I was quoted 1/2 hour + parts. (Guess they know that it will involve scrapping and digging the old plastic out.)
  9. This would make it look betterhttps://www.yournutz.com/product-page/8-original-nuts-flesh-toned
  10. One nice thing about having an Extended Warranty on my 09 MKX. Flat tire, I call Lincoln, they call a repair service and they come out and change the tire. Last time it was in the pouring rain. (He did use a torque wrench on the finl tightening). .
  11. Follow up: the pattern is "V" shaped, full upper and lower part of the windshield (think oval). If yours us only on the top it sounds like it's partially clogged. For $12 why not just pop a new one in?
  12. I was only recommending Dorman because of price. I was assuming that they're the same quality as OEM. Spray pattern of new nozzles appear to be ok, perhaps more on upper area vs. lower. I'll have to look today whole we're out shoping.
  13. Noticed that my washer was no longer working on the drivers side, and the passengers side was weak. Quick investigation revealed that the nozzle broke under the hood insulation blanket. The Ford & MKX nozzles make a sharp right-hand turn just under the hood and the hose puts a lot of tension on this connection. Figured that if one was bad, the other would follow in short order. Stopped by local Ford dealer and got clipped for $24 for two of them. Recommend if you are replacing yours, go with Dorman off Amazon. Anyway, you pull the insulation blanket with a trim tool (taking care not to lose one like a certain idiot we won't mention did) and the blanket slips right off the two metal clips. The old nozzles remove by pinching the prongs on the underside and they pop right off. When I went to remove the passenger side it easily broke off as I touched it. (These nozzles are cheap plastic and age quickly do to engine heat). In both cases the part of the nozzles that slip into the hose remained in the hose. The new nozzles easily slip into the holes in the hood and lock into place. Went to remover the plastic stubs in the end of the hose and they crumbled. Each little bit had to be scraped/dug out with a small screwdriver. (Any ltitle bit left behind will clog the new nozzle). After digging and digging, I used a Q-tip and did my best to clean out the remainder (which was now powder). Finally I turned on the washer and used the stream to wash out any remaining particles. The hoses push on easily (the drivers side was a stretch). Blanket slips back in place, trim clips push back in easily (minus one) and done.

  15. My guess would the former owner had set a speed limit on the IA using the "My Key" feature. See page 54 in the Owners Manual on how to remove the restriction.
  16. Here's a video showing how the actuator's fail. Think this is the correct replacment. (Motorcraft YH1878 Heater Blend Door Actuator). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009B5S2VO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_J6zmAbQEJW580
  17. Think you mean transaxle. The PTU is only on AWD vehicles. It's the box that sends power to all four wheels continously. Youtube video on changing a seal:
  18. Plugs. 90k max. Change before they burn out the coils.
  19. Phifffiff. I have all three of the little signal suckers stuck on the back of my cell phone. I can get signal in Antarctica. Ummmm I wonder if I were to stick one on my Sirus antenna.....?
  20. Too late, you can buy them 3 for $2 at Amazon.https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00XM9RL8A/ref=zg_bs_2407782011_10?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=BZW0277HX4VZWPZWY9HM
  21. The anti theft alarm is a factory option, and it appears your car doesn't have it. You can add on a Ford aftermarket alarm. Just plugs right in. Not exactly the same, but will work. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/13564-2013-edge-factory-alarm/

  23. I don't have MFT but seems to me that after you listen to the incoming message being read, Sync asks you if you want to respond. You can choose the 15 or so canned messages or you can say whatever you want in response. She'll read back to you what you said and you send the message by saying "send."
