  1. If she has halogens, swapping in some HIDs could make a nice Sunday afternoon.
  2. Congrats!! Welcome to the forum!
  3. Glad to hear that the card worked out for you! Spending $60 for the clone vs $140 at the Stealership (rounding up) is definitely worth it. Spending damn $200 to update the NAV in SYNC2 not so much! You could gather all the parts apart from the USB harness from a salvage yard for a hundo or so, and upgrade to SYNC3!
  4. In this post covid, supply line challenged world we live in, I have to ask. What was the damage?
  5. Greetings Guys and Gals, Just wanted to share the awesome experience I had purchasing from @Special_K and @snmjim! Everything arrived as stated, well shipped and even arrived early. If anyone is looking for good deals drop them a line! Great post sale support! Non of that it is what it is crap, you brought it the onus is on you nonsense! They are good straightforward and honest sellers! All around good people! Looking forward to doing business again real soon!
  6. I certainly hope so! Its been said there is nothing more overrated than sex and there is nothing more underrated than a good shit!
  7. Nah not at all, I'm not a big fan of social media. Although, I do understand and respect those that do. I just don't feel the need to put my life on display.
  8. SMDH!! Not that it helps, but their Instagram is fairly active. Their most recent post was of yesterday. Drop them a line via IG.
  9. If you're not making payments, you're making repairs! May she serve you well. If you plan on keeping her for longer than 3 years look into an extended warranty. If you sell or trade her in, you can recoup the investment from the warranty or get a prorated refund. Enjoy your new ride!
  10. Congrats! She's a beauty! She looks good in blue!
  11. 1.Definitely check the battery. If the battery is not an issue perhaps you need to have your key correctly programed. Do you have more than one key? 2.Lock, start, start 3. Definitely is. Night and day difference and once you have fully upgraded you can use Android Auto or Carplay for infotainment and navigation.
  12. My information comes directly from Colin and Jim. If you take a gander at the Ultimate Parts thread you will see that it hasn't been updated in quite some time. @Special_K or @snmjim would have to edit it, or have a mod do it. Or if someone is so inclined to check to see if they can order one from RamFab.
  13. You're right some mechanics will do it with the engine in place. Others will not. Ironically enough I believe some mechanics will recommend changing all the ancillary bits and others will not especially since its a chain and not a belt. I guess it's going to come down to who's turning the wrenches. I guess the price comes down to who's doing the work. My coworker knows he's living on borrowed time. At this point I think he might be waiting it out to see how long it last. He said he has the funds saved for the engine swap. He already has the water pump and other parts.
  14. You really don't hear about the water pump issues on the 3.7 engine. It's a known issue on the 3.5. The reason the price is high is due to the craptastic design that ford chose to go with and use an internal water pump. Here is an alternative suggestion. It could be cheaper depending on how you sort it out. My suggestion would be to get a low mileage engine from a salvage yard and while it is out, I would change the pump, the guides, the chain etc I would also take the opportunity to gibe it a full tune up which really shouldn't cost much because while the engine is out its not hard to get to anything. I'd also ask your trusted ford mechanic if he does work outside of the shop. Here is my thought process.... When you notice a leak, you really don't have any idea of how long its been leaking prior to. My coworker noticed a leak. The reservoir was damn near empty when I picked him up. Being strapped for cash he opted to fill it with coolant.....apart from filing the reservoir every so often, its still going strong......No compression issues, no power loss etc, no milky oil etc... That was 3 years ago and its still running strong. I don't know your requirements for tires, but you can get 22" tires for your edge starting at ~$200 a pop. Might be time for you to start looking at independent shops. Food for thought!
  15. Sorry to hear about your wheel debacle! Where you located these wheels are all over the place on Craigslist and FB marketplace etc. As an alternative to replacing your wheel, you can have your wheel repaired and refinished.
  16. If you replaced your camera, it needs to be reprogrammed! You should be able to sort that out with FORScan.
  17. Welcome to the forum! Let your fingers do the walking!

    This link has all the info on aftermarket development for going fast in a straight line and going fast in the twist and turns!! https://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/24317-the-ultimate-27tt-aftermarket-parts-thread/ This auction has the strut tower bar! He's a good seller. In fact he is the only one that makes them! https://www.ebay.com/itm/134127720789?fits=Year%3A2018|Model%3AEdge|Make%3AFord&hash=item1f3aa29955:g:yXgAAOSwoP9cckMU
  19. Intermittent electrical issues can be notoriously frustrating at times. As much as we would all love for you to get to the bottom line with this! I'm hoping this particular gremlin doesn't rare its head again! I'm sure you will sort it out if it eventually returns.
  20. I'm sure you double checked the wiring on the terminals/ grounds etc? Try leaving your positive battery cable unplugged for 15 min. I believe that it will reset the BCM. If that doesn't work try leaving it unplugged for over night. Clear the codes after your initial scan. Shut down and restart and rescan you should see that the DTC's have been cleared. Take a look at the BMS in FORScan, did you change it for your upgraded size? IIRC I believe that you did that in one of your previous post. HTH
