    This could be a latent defect - quite possibly related to the glass annealing process.

    Annealing (glass) - Wikipedia

     

    If no warranty cover wouldn't the insurance cover this?

     

    Not unless you have glass coverage specifically in your policy.  State Farm has 0 deductible, glass insurance, built into their full coverage policies. Unfortunately most do not.

    Hello, I know that only a few companies have made the hot and cold site piping but I cant get anyone to respond.  Can anyone help in getting me contacted with a company that will make these for me?  I have been told its the Cold side that is the most restricted but I would prefer to go ahead and get them both replaced. 

     

    Current build

    2021 Edge ST

    -Race Chip

    -Borla S-type Exhaust with custom powder coated LHT Performance tips

    -CPE motor mount

    -Turbo Smart BOV

    -AFE intake

    -colder spark plugs

    -Ultimate Performance intercooler

     

    Quick heads up in regards to the FMIC  cold pipe upgrade!  RamFab is no longer making the cold pipe upgrade.  He has passed on the tools and materials necessary to DTP Fab!

     

    DTB Fab can be reached via the following:

     

    https://dtpfabworks.com/ or https://www.instagram.com/dtp_fabworks/?hl=en

     

    If you had a hot side pipe fabricated, I believe that you would be the first to have one.  Let us know how it works out for you.  I may have a cold side pipe available for sale.

  3. I understand the hesitancy in regards to not wanting to spend monies for something that may or may not used more than once. I also understand that we have to work with the budget that we have available to us.

     

    Point your browser in this direction....

     

    OBDLink-EX-FORScan Adapter

     

    This adapter was exclusively designed by the FORScan team.  The main difference between the adapter and the one that 1004Ron mentioned is that this adapter is limited to FORScan use only. Although it is fully compatible and compliant with all OBDII specifications and fully bilateral. You may or may not have to pay for 3rd party apps to diagnose other vehicles. 

     

    Unfortunately you do not get access to the full diagnostic suite that comes with the OBDLink MX.

  4. That's bizarre! Sorry to hear that you're still dealing with this!  Usually removing the negative cable does the trick! Personally, I would get the code reader because, I like to have an idea of what of I'm potentially dealing with when going to any mechanic. There are lots of knowledgeable folks on this forum. Perhaps they can shed some light!  @WWWPerfA_ZN0W @1004ron @enigma-2 @jmr061 @omar302 @macbwt

    Well I took it to the store and did the reset but, code more error codes like the attached screenshot

    PXL_20220406_205451352.MP.jpg

     

     

    The error code that you have their in your pic speaks to the exact problem that your facing!  THE FCIM is the interface with the buttons that do not work for you.  Have you tried disconnecting the negative cable for 10-20 min to see if that will reset the modules? Some have even left it disconnected over night!   If you search the forums you will see that some people have had success disconnecting the negative cable.

     

    Good Luck!

  6. Personally I would go with Fords ESP warranty.  That's not to say that they're aren't any other skilled mechanics or other good warranties etc. Ford ESP will cover your repair at any Lincoln/ Ford dealership in any city in the country and Canada.

     

    Pay for rental coverage as well.  Yes the stealership has held my edge hostage. Yes it can take longer than anyone would like to have their repair completed. Things happen. It's not the norm but the exception.  As we are all aware there is a national shortage on parts for various manufactures. If the newish looking truck that you previously mentioned was there for service, it could be possibly due to whatever part needed to be replaced etc. 

     

    When my car was at the dealership and it took them longer than a few weeks to replace the BCM. They needed a "Ford Engineer" to do some programing for it that the dealership techs were not able to complete. I work for the city and I drive from location to location. I can do as little as 0 miles a day or 50 depending on whatever the schedule for the day is.

     

    I paid $5/ day to cover regulatory rental fees etc.... I also had a new hybrid fusion.... The money I paid was pale in comparison to the money I saved in gas and the mileage I saved on their dime.

     

    I was also to recover the majority of rental fees from Ford Corporate.  What other warranty/ company will do that?

  7. I guess I'm the only one surprised that the fuel door doesn't lock when the truck is locked?  My coworker said someone drilled a hole in his daughters gas tank....Found the leak when his daughter called him and said the car wouldn't start despite putting gas in it before parking for the night..... He gets to her house with his emergency can.....poured gas in....gas poured out.

     

    I said aren't you glad that we have locking gas doors? He has a Nautilus. He said our doors do not lock.... I had to go check for myself..... SMDH Definitely learned something new today.

     

    I wouldn't even bother with the locking gas cap.  Compare the price of R&R a new or used gas tank....  If a thief can siphon my gas without getting caught, they won the day! Just leave my gas tank alone!

  8. Someone feel free to correct me if i am wrong..... Your MY would use MFT/ SYNC1.  Those units tend to die due to a variety of reasons.  Don't feel as if you made a bad choice. next gen has similar not the same issues and they eventually die.

     

    You could reinstall the previous touch screen and find and or pay someone to program it for you. There are a few people here that can help you. That would require buying an OBD2 adaptor.  I use this one....

     

    OBDLink MX= OBD2 Bluestooth scanner

     

    You would also need to use FORScan.

     

    Or you can do as Enigma suggested and go aftermarket.

    Thermo-Tec 13575 Adhesive Backed... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0844NGHS6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

     

    One of these does the whole bottom.

     

    I used acetone for surface prep, and

    To try and stick it real good. Lol

     

    Time will tell. I had shears and an Exacto knife setup, a couple of flathead screwdrivers for tucking.

     

    If I had to do it again, I'd probably scuff up roughly, the box bottom first. Then clean and hose down with glue, lol

     

    Thanks for sharing the technique!

    They are 21-inch summer/performance. I guess I'm going to have to look for some winter tires. Any suggestions?

     

     

    Personally I prefer all season tires unless I'm in an environment that warrants dedicated winter tires. Where are you located?

    The best price on these now is at Walmart for $153.74 and tires bought from them they'll fit for $15 each.

     

    Atturo AZ850 Performance Tire - 265/40R21 105Y - Walmart.com

     

    I'm going to buy a set now, but will only need to install in about 6 to 8 months.

     

    Edit:

    What's the waring about not to buy from Walmart or Amazon?

     

    Online Dealers - Atturo

     

    WARNING: DO NOT BUY ATTURO TIRES FROM AMAZON, WALMART OR OTHER UNAUTHORIZED DEALERS. 

     

    Those are some sharp looking tires. If they perform half as good as they look you should get your monies worth!
