@Dysfun2 Welcome. It might be worth contacting Ford Corp to see if there's any compensation on the table for this latent defect.

Sorry to hear about the family loss that led to your ownership of the Edge. I don't have any specific fault finding to suggest but have not seen the lack of cabin heating reported here, which leads me to believe that there's a solution to your problem, just need to identify what that is.

I'd have to go back and check, but I recall the TSB's aren't mandatory whereas the safety recalls are. NHTSA vehicle safety recalls are mandatory, not voluntary, if a defect poses an unreasonable safety risk or fails to meet federal standards Check for Recalls: Vehicle, Car Seat, Tire, Equipment | NHTSA

I do the bulk fill the old way and the last part I do under vacuum, with all my vehicles regardless whether a procedure calls for vacuum filling.

I made no mention of the owners manual - I too wouldn't purchase the owners manual.

The shop manuals on eBay are mostly bootleg copies and some of them are good versions that have indexing and searchable. Post a link to the ones you're looking at.

From the 2017 Sport manual

I don't use a torque wrench on the lug nuts, so can't comment on that question. Within the first 15K miles of my Sports life the Ford dealership damaged the aluminum cladding on the lug nuts due to the use of impact wrenches for removing and installing them - they gave me a complete new set - 125K miles and they're still in "as new" condition. Recently had tires installed at Costco - added clear instructions to the job card that no impact wrench be used - I watched and they didn't use impacts. .

That is a major undertaking and must cost a fortune in labor and materials but will serve you well for many years.

A possible reason is that the email domain is one that's typically used by forum spammers.

This is going off-topic. You already have separate threads on performance modifications, so further posts on that should be in those existing threads.

I expect a looooong wait. Ford to recall 1.74 million vehicles in US over rearview camera issue, NHTSA says https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/ford-recall-174-million-vehicles-us-over-rearview-camera-issue-nhtsa-says-2026-03-06/
