http://www.bullyonline.org/related/cyber.htm The Number One rule for dealing with this type of behaviour is: don't respond, don't interact and don't engage. This is not as easy to do as it sounds. It's a natural response to want to defend yourself, and to put the person right. However, never argue with a serial bully; it's not a mature adult discussion, but like dealing with a child or immature teenager; whilst the serial bully may be an adult on the outside, on the inside they are like a child who's never grown up - and probably never will. Serial bullies and harassers often have disordered thinking patterns and do not share the same thoughts or values as you.

The tire shop that mounts the tires will do it. You may have to buy new bands. ab

"SCT flash tuner with a dyno proven tune" Have you contacted who you bought your SCT tuner from? If they can’t write you a custom tune that eliminates the speed limiter, someone else can. Do you ever visit this FTE? http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/index.php There should be someone on there (several SCT sponsors) that can write you a tune. I did a Google Advanced Search, all of these words for, sct "ford edge" https://www.google.com/search?q=sct+%22ford+edge%22&hl=en&num=10&lr=&ft=i&cr=&safe=images ab

In shade tree mechanic terms would RH stand for the front or back side of the motor? And will there be any gaskets to replace? I ask because at 53K miles this is working it’s way up my todo list. Thanks ab

On other forums I belong to this question has been asked many times. Dear Mr. Engineer, marketing exec, exec of XYZ co. what is your companies definition of “life time transmission fluid?” Response from Mr. Engineer, marketing exec, exec of XYZ co. usually goes something like this. Um uh lets see life of the trans.. uh no, life of the veh.. uh uhOH no. OH HERE it is . LIFE TIME OF THE WARRANTY.

I used this for wiring. Part # 118430 http://www.hitchmart.com/commerce/productsearch.jsp Works, easy DIY. The instructions (DOES) call for a wire run to the battery. I didn’t, I took power from the power lift gate, you should find some 12V somewhere besides the battery. The way they show running the wire probably wouldn’t be that hard todo. ab

If you don’t have heated seats. We do so I bought her one of these for our F250. http://www.amazon.com/Roadpro-Heated-Cushion-Powerful-Massages/dp/B000Z42LWG/ref=pd_sim_sbs_auto_8 I permanently wired it into the power seat. Easy DIY. They also come in black. ab

You don’t think one of the mushrooms at Ford has written some “real world” code do you? NOPE not going to happen. I think your TPMS is broken. Give it a test, let the air out of one of the 22’s. ab

It’s an easy DIY. Visit your parts dept at your dealer. When you order ask to take a look at their screen. Take a look at this thread it was in Sept. he may still have them. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/7775-unwanted-roof-rails/page__p__61768__hl__roof+__fromsearch__1#entry61768 You could start your own “Want to trade thread” they’re on here pretty often. ab

Our 08 MKX will hit 60K this yr. All the fluids and filters that are on the schedule. Do you have the schedule? New brake fluid, rotors and pads. Maybe stainless brake lines. This is a 60K inspection but we need new front rotors (I abused them in Colorado last year). SO new/better brakes :D ! We’re at a little over 50K, now so I’m going to do the transmission a little early. I’ll have the bearings packed and the front end inspected. We’re getting a small clunk at full left lock, so something is going on. Might be caused by an unauthorized 4 wheel alignment when we had some relatively minor body work done. Left rear wheel was scratched pretty good.

My son had some steel rims for his Tahoe powder coated black for $40 each. I’m sure chrome or polished aluminum would be more. Took a few days to get them back, with an appointment. A couple of things to consider. You’ll have to pay to dismount, remount, balance and TPMS. You’ll also need to MAKE SURE they use rim protectors when mounting the tires. They offer MANY colors (his daughter wanted pink, they have it). They should look GOOD and be easy to take care of. Be sure to post pictures if you do it. ab

I’m going to have to try harder. Dingo and you have 2 votes… I have none. This co lists several 18X10 and 20X10 for 07 ford edge. Give em a call. http://www.sportcompactonly.com/Ford/Edge/Hot-Wheels/Wheels-Tires/performance-parts_c-73_b-88_vt-5192_vy-2007.htm Here’s my google search. https://www.google.com/search?q=20x10+5-114.3+ford+edge&hl=en&num=10&lr=&ft=i&cr=&safe=images ab

:happy feet: "Since I don't have to worry about the rear wheels turning." Wouldn’t that make them get some serious flat spots?

I sold our 08’s on craigslist. Got almost as much as they cost. Ford wants almost as much for 1 as they want for the whole set new. Made almost enough to buy some nice LIGHT WEIGHT polished aluminum. ab

Did you go to a custom shop for your exhaust? Or a off the shelf cat back? ab

It does sound like a bad sensor. But you may need a brake job soon. “The fluid level was at the minimum line in the reservoir” Your pads and rotors are probably about used up. How many miles on your 08? ab

What yr MKX? I’ve noticed that sometime when I try to turn the volume ALL THE WAY UP so we can hear the phone (it’s a phone/sync issue) on our 08. It takes a whole lot of turning. ab

Greeting and welcome. 22K what a find, we have 54K almost trouble free miles on ours. 1 leaking shock, must be from the same batch that was on my friends “perfect” Honda! 1 gripe but not MKX specific, our BMX trade-in also had memory seats that were confused about which key was being used. You might check the ground you used for the HID’s. ab

We sold the hub caps off our 08 on craigslist and put after market wheels on. Drove it for a couple thousand miles, one trip across Utah at a legal 80 mph. Then one of the tpms came loose. Noticeable vibration. We took it back to Discount Tire and they fixed it. The tpms was not damaged. ab

Easy DIY Try ebay, call salvage yards. Take your vin # if you go to a dealer. They need it to look up the correct mirror! You’ll need 2 small flat bladed screwdrivers. This was a HOT topic in 08, here’s a link. Post # 65 has a good picture and instructions. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/2759-integrated-blind-spot-mirrors/page__hl__blind__st__60 Here’s a pic from our 08 MKX. ab

It’s been a long time since I’ve bled any brakes that weren’t on a motorcycle. BUT I didn’t know the Edge had a pump on the brake system. Except for my wife’s right foot…. Pump Pump Pump Hold . . “Ok let go” Do it again ab

Greetings and welcome. Someone from the Snow Belt will be along after the games. Just in case what year is your Edge? ab

"Ablb, the mini one fits?" Not really. The thread pitch is the same but the plastic cover doesn't go all the way to the base. I was just making a test to see if our poor reception was caused by "our" antenna. The reception was better with the Mini antenna on the MKX but still not nearly as good as on the Mini. ab

We’ve been fighting this battle for 3 yrs. The radio/antenna in our 08 (looks like ALL Edge/MKX’s) is pitiful! We spend our summers in a small town in southern Colorado, not much radio in southern CO. This year we bought a Mini Cooper, WHAT A difference!!! Here are our observations for the last few yrs comparing the radios we’ve used, rated on a 1 to 10 scale. 04 BMW X3…. (5) 05 Ford F250… (5) 08 Lincoln MKX… (2) 05 Mini Cooper (new to us) … (9) I took the antenna off of the mini and put it on the MKX… (4) of course it’s a foot and a half long but IT DOES work better. Still looking for an aftermarket that is better than stock. The battle continues. ab

I think most people are missing the point of this thread. Ford and all other manufactures are charging an unbelievable amount of money for what is basically an unfinished aluminum wheel with a plastic hub cap glued on. I would love to see the profit margin for this 1 upgrade. ab
