  1. There is nothing wrong with the cabin air filter....... So replaced that and found out my driver window switch cover is broken. Need to find a replacement.
  2. Thanks. I am going to still check it tonight myself to see. Then call the dealer and see what they can do about it.
  3. True. Hard for many because you can't easily access them and many people don't even know about them. Started to hear a noise last night which seemed to come from the rear. Sounds like the brakes might be a warping. This sounded just like when my last car has a bent hub. Time to put it on the lift and check everything out so I can force the dealer to fix it.
  4. I will check the cabin air filter tonight. It was just weird that both ones I drove, the air felt the exact same.
  5. You can check on it by watching the oil and checking the coolant levels every fill up. Catch a problem before it can cause any major problems.
  6. It was just weird that it was in both, so I just figured it was normal.. Personally it doesn't effect me unless it is 95+ out because I enjoy the windows down. I will check the cabin air filter though. Thanks.
  7. Question for people with a 2010, does the air suck in them? The 2008 I drove also didn't really blow air. Like I barely felt it when on fan setting 4 but there was a difference between the other settings.
  8. The V8s did sound great. But the MTX I had with the exhaust and intake sounded orgasmic when the secondaries opened up. What part of I71? I use to drive from Lebanon to UC around 4:30-5pm to get to school by 5:30 all the time in college when I was co-oping. Lets say I was luckily I didn't see cops some day. I71 in northern Kentucky scares me though, place is terrible. I am content with decision. I wanted something different but the woman would kill me if I came home with the truck I wanted because we have a wedding to pay for in a couple months. The dent was small, didn't even see it till I got it home. It doesn't worry me. By small is is maybe the size of the penny. If worst comes to worst, my dad does body work and does great work. Thanks for the info about the water pump, guess that is something I will have to keep an eye on.
  9. I lost my license before I was 18, had just the ability to drive to school and work. I did a burnout the the V8 auto when I got the ticket. My Yamaha Taurus was so much better than the V8s. 1) It had a real transmission. 2) The interior is better. 3) It was actually faster. Ford ruined that 3.4L V8. When yamaha gave them the engine, it was pushing over 300hp and ford redid the intake and cams and it only made 240hp. Then the cams would break.
  10. Had a couple of them. Know all about welding on the cams. Even did it with the engine and everything in the car once. Also had a Gen2 V6 with a 5sp. Got my first ticket with one when I was in high school. Got wreckless Op for doing a burnout in the parking lot when leaving school.
  11. This is the SE (base) model. Only FWD. They had some limiteds, but I didn't want to pay for them. Went there looking at buying a cheap focus as the DD, but it was sold so I got this instead. I am use to premo fuel, had a Maxima before this that was recommended premo fuel. Also use to have a couple V8 taurus, you could run 87, but you noticed the major drop in power from it.
  12. It isn't that folks believe they are smarter than the factory engineers, it is that factory engineers are limited to what they are allowed to do. A random car owner isn't. A ford engineer that is doing the intake system, exhaust system and tuning is very limited on what they can do. They have to meet EPA standards for emissions. They also have to meet standards that Ford wants them to meet such as noise. Then they have to make the parts as cheap as possible to manufacture and to install. Just look at the VW scandal. After EPA made them "fix" the car to pass their standards, the car lost power and mpg just from a tune.
  13. Just bought my 2010 Ford Edge. Only issue I could see with the car was a small dent in the rear passenger door. It could use a buff job to remove a couple small marks but it is clean. Joining to find any info about issue with the 3.5 and ways to make it better/faster. Picture
