  1. @razziel24 it looks great. The work you did might not please all but, if you like it, it is great.
  2. I used to keep a supply of window/door switches in my tool box. The first thing I would do was to substitute my switch for theirs. The window motors on the rear doors, would "weld" the brushes to the armature and lock-up. So, exercise those rear windows from time to time to prevent that problem.
  3. If your fuel additive does not have PEA in it, your, shall we say, "urinating into the wind". As far as oil, I would point you to Lake Speed jr.'s video on Valvoline's Protect and Restore engine oil. To go deeper, find his comparisons of oil tests too. Did not realize there was a pun till I proof read it.
  4. Get the poly hockey pucks that fit your jack/stand. ONLY jack at the spots in the owner's manual.
  5. I have 285 35 22s on my ST. Check out my "Black Mamba" in my profile.
  6. What brand of tires and what is the DOT code on the tire? It appears so one likes to drive what some would consider a little "sporty". The shoulder wear (both sides) indicates where the steel belt ends. If it was a toe problem, the edges of all of the tread blocks would have a feathered edge on one side. But, the pics indicate small chunks are being shed while at high steering angles. In the top image it appears that a little extra wear is indicated by the right side being a little more worn than the left. That would indicate about half a degree of extra camber to that side, providing that is about 12 K miles in normal conditions on that tire. Gary
  7. I think he is referring to Lane Keeping. I have turned it off because I drive the car, not the computer.
  8. @Davidoo, I also have a 22 ST too. As you stated confusion exists but I will help you. Our RDUs have a drain plug and a fill plug and the tranny has a drain and fill plug too. AS for no lift, I used 4 ramps https://www.amazon.com/RhinoGear-11912-RhinoRamps-Vehicle-Ramps/dp/B0117EESNC/ref=sr_1_4?crid=R9MRLD01WYW4&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.4okd22uK9UE4fyiUUj08Slo6FXaiQHl7CDfDtOe6sUfcGRBJAgsX8MqPngrm9kJj4_3k1CFA6Tj8lj_S6e8kSUuSTfKfL3gifNAavPsy5QjQ8d7glVtjxGhLRXcCP5xovssfsIUDvyJ4RNRBKRRV7a7v0DqBTpW18rGk--538kcq-1PGrilqWVhHZfyIYVigRFrCLV_D8o756fLxqh10yHiJWildoqkhEio7Lu-oe1u3RCq-jffBN70GoWrpAU-YpLRZ3mWX2xMWnG01UCtJdanexSTKHq_awTxbnnfHug7tSZt43yLO8t8X8Ox5CDqcKOvO3NIVLqVk2cWpT9jm35ooQ3sB5zbEurysBH27zblI8fy18LW8xriFy3MuRQUnoUYKv5_n5Y_OVCdb9bA4TuXlUaXChZ9w9mkW_Dcj7k6KTmg84ncSQ3S2RLWiyFHr.ey3DhlG06_05QhLU4ioQXHO0ZfYSV2WxTZ0qQ3m43Lg&dib_tag=se&keywords=drive%2Bup%2Bramps&qid=1742655930&sprefix=drive%2Bup%2Bramps%2Caps%2C155&sr=8-4&th=1 to do all my service on a creeper to boot!
  9. My 1st. plan expires @75K miles/ 2028. I just did a RDU service and discovered metallic glitteries! I am not as mobile as I once was. Do we keep the problem and extend the ESP or swap it out for an Exploder ST? I contact my guy with my wallet wide open! He told me keep your $$$ till 73K miles or 6 months before expiration date to renew. Hang onto your money!!! After that experience as well as other folks experience, I why people from across the US do some driving. GL
  10. On my 2008 Edge 3.5L, I replace the spark plugs about every 75K miles. 210K miles now and I should inspect the OE belts.🤣🤣
  11. What I could hear, it sounds like a heat shield buzzing.
  12. Don't believe anything a salesman tells you! Your battery needs to be replaced. I have the same issue and I am waiting to get into the dealership for that and some other issues. The new Edges have a "gas saving " feature that only charges an AGM battery so far. As a side note, it seems that a bunch of AGM batteries in 2022 were defective.
  13. Hate to tell you this but, sounds like a U-Joint or the Carrier bearing. Look closely at the u-joint's cups to see if any rust is evident. If so, that is what is left of the rollers due to "Fretting Corrosion". Also it is the "Down Fall" and the waster of several hours of grief, "It could not be _________ as it is new part"! If you decide to do the u-joints, spray paint the parts so you assemble them back in the same position. Even some times this does not work and a vibration is induced. Sometimes it can be fixed by rotating the assembly 180 degrees. Else the drive shaft shop. (do they still exist)? GL
  14. I see this an old thread but, a continuing problem for some as well as someone's future. Water on the heater core is causing this problem. So, typically,the heater core is leaking or the A/C drain is plugged up. Water intrusion from a puddle or rain, might enter via the A/C or heater lines entry points of the Firewall.(Rare) Last but not least the A/C drain lines. If it is the Heater Core the fog on the windows will taste sweet else it's the drain line probably. GL Gary
