Anyone using the UPR drain plug?

I won't be getting one at $50 seeing as I've not had any issues with mine.

OEM is $5 - https://www.amazon.com/Ford-Plug-Drain-Number-FT4Z6730A/dp/B01JAU88JK/ref=au_as_r?_encoding=UTF8&Make=Ford|54&Model=Edge|5858&Year=2017|2017&ie=UTF8&n=15684181&s=automotive&vehicleId=2&vehicleType=automotive

Get the new 2019 Ford Navigation System Map update for just $149.00

My 2017 has very old maps, and when I check https://ford.navigation.com/product-list/Catalog/Catalog_Ford_Edge_2017/en_US/FordNA/USD

I get the below message, so wonder how they could be advertising the 2019 maps.

Thank you for your interest in a navigation update for your SYNC 3 system.

Just ordered the Jlt. Now I just have to make a decision weather or not to clean valves etc before install. I have 45k miles on my 15 sport. Worth it? I would rather just slap it on and save the time/money. But then again, those pics of black crusted valves are flaring up my anxiety 

The fact that those pics aren't of a Ford Edge Sport, I'd do an inspection before attempting any cleaning procedure, which carries risks.

I added the JLT at around 25K mi, and not going to bother with any inspection or cleaning, ......... when the spark plugs are due for changing, and the inlet manifold is removed for that, I'll inspect the intakes.

Just bought Steeda Jacking Rails for my wife's Mustang, and was wondering if anyone has found rails for the Edge.

There is a TSB telling the tech to use a half size larger socket to remove them but you are suppose to use impacts also we have a tool called a torque stick with what they use for them . 

Not sure if that's a typo regarding the use of impacts.

Service manager has order a new set of lugs.

I had to buy a new set of lugs for my wife's 2015 Mustang as we're the second owners and its well past warranty at 50K mi.

The downside is that only gets part of the fluid.  You have to do it multiple times to even get 80% of the old fluid out.  But it is simple.

 

Where do you guys dispose of the used fluid?

I  take  all oils to AutoZone.

I plan on doing the dump and fill method at around 60K mi.

On the Sport 2.7L Its damn awkward to get to the fill/level cap - most likely have to run it with the air intake hoses removed.

Up until now the only place that has removed my wheels, is my Ford dealership doing tire rotations during "The Works" oil change services.

Today when I rotated wheels at home I found signs that the two-piece lug nuts were damaged by the use of an impact wrench, and the 21mm 6-point socket would not go on three of the lug nuts.

In addition almost every lug nut recess on my wheels has been chipped badly, obviously also due to the use of a high speed air impact tool.

I've heard of Ford recalling some of these two-piece lug nuts, and the warning not to use impact wrenches, ........... so WTF does my Ford Dealership do it?

If I'd have needed to use my emergency spare wheel somewhere on the open road, and it was one of the three wheels with bad lug nuts, I'd be stranded because the emergency lug wrench cannot be used on these.

Old thread, but posting in case it helps others that search for the same question.

Use a deep 21mm socket and don't use an air wrench of any kind of impact wrench as it will destroy the two-part lug nuts.

My  heated seats turn on with my remote start in both summer and winter.  It’s a nuisance.  I would like to know how to turn it off completely. 

My seats cool or heat when remote started, dependant on the ambient, it's very convenient.

My steering will also heat when ambient is low, and remote started.

Looking for video walkthrough of PTO service on a 2017 with 2.0.

have checked you tube No joy. Plenty of videos but no 2017 (although perhaps a 2016 would work).

Any other web sites, or tech forums out there?

Thanks

Do a search here for PTU and you should find loads of useful info.

The fan is supposed to run on a higher speed until the desired temperature is reached or it's close to it. What is the temperature you have it set to? And what's the outside temperature? 

That's how mine works, but I guess it would remain high if the temperature set point was unachievable.

New OEM decal installed.

The one from https://autodatalabels.com/ is crap. The Ford one far better, superior adhesive and dimensionally correct for just $3.50 - now please that they wouldn't sell to me, and surprised that a Ford Collision centre would buy third party crap.

The larger one is OEM

For an online option try looking at B&R auto wrecking.   www.autowrecking.com

I got my roof rack and rails from them.

Don't think they ship to Russia.

Do you still have the old cover ? I am interested in it.

No, the Ford collision center kept it - maybe they gave it to the worker that butchered it.

They installed a new LED signature light, which doesn't even required the removal of this cover, but that's just another indication that the worker was unqualified/untrained.

Thats odd. My friend did not mention that at all.  I'll reach out to him and see what he says.   I guess if you want to order, you will have to provide a shop name and RO or PO.  1004ronPaint has a nice ring to it.  ? I don't know what they will do to verify the information.  

 

Tried it , but they didn't bite - anyway, its cheaper from Ford.

Have you called a dealer and asked them to order that part?  They'll be able to tell you if it's a valid part number. Not being found on an internet search doesn't mean that it's not available from a dealer only that it's not found online.

 

Used their online chat and now have the part number and its ordered.

https://parts.ford.com/en.html

part # FA1Z-1503050-A for the decal. It will show on the diagram as 19A698C

My friend suggested this site. https://autodatalabels.com/

Thanks, I'll look at them if all hope fades of getting an original Ford product.

Edit: I just called (631) 667-2382 and was told that they only sell to body shops etc. which is odd because it looks like they take orders online.

Thanks,  that's the number on the right bottom of the sticker, which doesn't produce any results in a search.

Was it a OEM replacement? If so it is odd that it doesn't have the label. If it isn't I'm sure it works just as well sans the label. I understand wanting to have the label with either way. Good Luck!

Yes, the plastic cover and plastic rivets are all genuine parts, but they come without the decal.

It would be horrible if the only way to get that label is to replace the cover. 

The cover was replaced, but the problem is it comes without the label, and I can't find a source for the OEM label.

Trying to keep it looking original.

The plastic cover above the radiator was replaced and a third party decal applied, which is peeling off.

Looking for help finding a genuine OEM replacement decal but can't find the part number - would really appreciate help finding this.

Its the one on the left with the AC gas and oil details.

The Ford Collision centre replaced the plastic cover and plastic rivets, but the information sticker on the left they order from a local printer, and it looks slightly smaller and is starting to peel off.

Where can I purchase a Ford sticker?

Remember, BAD news spreads much faster than good news.

Not a lot of track record yet - what, 3 years?

Introduced with the 2015 Ford F-150 is a twin-turbo 2.7 L V6 EcoBoost engine. 

Correct, around 3 to 4 years, but still long enough to know if there's any major systemic issues.

I would still like to hear directly from K&N

Good idea, since its always the reputable products that are counterfeited. 

Counterfeit products have been  found on Amazon, but I doubt you'd see that in Walmart.
