  1. My daughter has a 2013 Escape. She likes it ok, no real problems, but wants to trade it on an Edge or (preferably) MKX. Great ride, congrats
  2. Sad when you have to explain it. Grunt
  3. Northern Indiana, Michigan is a second home. Been by Hartland many times traveling to Flint.
  4. Read "lirpa loof" backwards and associate it with the first day of April. (No one)?
  5. Try running an audio control module (radio) self test and record any codes it displays.
  6. Use a pinch weld adaptor Small Universal Slotted Polyurethane Jack Pad Frame Protector by TMB https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W2NMO3Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_c4f4ybEDXZVWJ
  7. Which foreign cars are you referring to? Toyota that's made in Georgetown, Kentucky, or Lafayette, Indiana, or Blue Springs, Mississippi, or Princeton, Indiana, or San Antonio, Texas, or Georgetown, Kentucky? Or Honda that's made in East Liberty, Ohio, or Greensburg, Indiana, or Lincoln, Alabama, or Marysville, Ohio? Or how about the Ford Edge, which is NOT manufactured in the US?
  8. I've not done this on an Edge, but have done it on several other cars. Yes, all you do is buy a homelink sun visor off Ebay, take down the old one and install the new one in its place. There ar ed some that look simular, so best to make certain that you get one from the same model and year car.
  9. "lirpa loof"? April 1st. No one? sigh.
  10. Read it again, more carefully ....
  11. Everywhere if you have a good radar detector.
  12. Should have waited until April 1st to post this.
  13. Took my MKX out to an small abandoned airfield today. Had friends check my time over a 1/4 mile. Did 1/4 mile in 4.7 seconds. Not too bad I guess. Also been monitoring my gas milage over the last 4 fillups. Getting 53.4 mpg. (That's mostly city of course). Think the improved speed and fuel economy is probably due to the model 1 lirpa loof phased injesters I had installed by tihsllub engineering last month. Anyone else figured this out?
  14. Just for clarification, this is what a ball compass looks like. Note that east is to your left, West to your right. When you turn left (turn west) the compass magnet remains pointing to the north, but turns in the opposite direction 1/4 turn. Therefore, as you turn, you turn counterclockwise while the compass turns clockwise.
  15. I've read about a couple of rules of thumb that one can use for increasing tire sizes: 1. Increase section width by 10mm Decrease aspect ratio by 10 points Increase rim diameter by 1 inch 2. Increase section width by 20mm Decrease aspect ratio by 20 points Increase rim diameter by 2 inches.
  16. Have a look at the Tirerack.Com website. The first four of five tires listed (all above 4 stars) are all good in wet weathere and snow. To read the reviews, click on the stars for each tire and check the bargraph, esp. in the area of wet and light & heavy snow. Should make the job of which tire, easier. https://m.tirerack.com/tires/TireResultsServlet?tireIndex=0&autoMake=Ford&autoYear=2012&autoModel=Edge+Limited&autoModClar=AWD&width=245%2F&ratio=60&diameter=18&sortCode=54053&skipOver=true&minSpeedRating=S&minLoadRating=S&tab=ALL&zipCode=&forFilters=false&performance=ALL&filterPageClose=true#0 As I said before, I'm running the Bridgestone's and am well satisfied with them; but, remember none of these are snow tires. And you will never get as good traction with an all-season tire as compared to a specific snow tire. (But they are quieter and smoother).
  17. I have a slight click (best I can describe it) sound, that's intermittent at best. I think I traced it to the front driver's mud flap. It's not a big deal so I ignore it, but any little sound out of the ordinary. .......
  18. Really nice. From what I can see, looks like you did a great job.
  19. Try replacing with new pins. It's possible that the original pins have become worn from constant movement over the miles of road.
  20. Perhaps if you could elaborate as to the actual push pin design you're referring to. Do they look like these (have had good luck with the screw-in types) https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01HJPYT64/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1490725325&sr=8-1-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=push+pin+ford&psc=1
  21. Underfloor cargo management system in the ultimate package. (Sorry, gen 1 MKX. Just holding up the old guys positions).
  22. Begs the question as to 'why' was it disconnected in the first place. Sounds as if someone had the cargo side panel off for some reason.
  23. Didn't Ford convert over to LEDS starting with the 2011? Looks like you can pull the top of the shifter cover off (simple clip on) and see if the LED is replaceable. If not, https://www.amazon.com/2011-2014-Ford-Automatic-Transmission-CT4Z-7210-FA/dp/B00TRFASC4
  24. My 09 MKX gets a full detail every two years and a trip through the car wash every week. During the winter months she gets the deluxe wash, with under belly (road salt), rainx, tire shine and a good coat of Simoniz wax (which lasts a full week). Having her detailed is the secret. Looks showroom.
