How to find my entry / posts
1004ron replied to 2017 SLE FORD EDGE's topic in 2015+ Edge & MKX Generation II
Click on your profile (top right) then near the top right click "My Activity". - While you're there, how about adding location and Model/Year to your signature - https://www.fordedgeforum.com/settings/signature/ -
Yes, that's what's meant by "not topping off". It would only have a light stumble when idling immediately after filling up and would be gone until the next "over fill". Is yours doing it only with a FULL tank or all the time? Best you get the codes read.

What made you choose your Edge?
1004ron replied to Edgy Girl's topic in Competing Crossovers & Vehicles
I had never driven a Ford Edge and couldn't do that being abroad at the time of purchase. For me it was styling, specifications, online reviews, and assistance from members here that helped me with my decision. I bought my 2017 Sport, sight unseen, using internet and email with the dealership and on my return to the US on 9 March 2017 they picked me up from the airport and from there to the dealership and took delivery of my Sport, and I'm still happy with every aspect of my purchase. -
With it off you'll see the timing sprocket behind it, and it is keyed. This model, unlike some Fords, the crank position tone wheel isn't part of the harmonic balancer.
-
Its not keyed, so no orientation/alignment, but it cant be heated to make it easier to go on the crank (rubber), and cant be beaten on, so you'll need a special installation "puller" or if the main bolt is long enough you could pull it up with that.
-
I've seen that one - it doesn't cover the install, but it does show that the harmonic balancer on this model isn't keyed.
-
Not sure if you tried the forum search feature. Note the comment about not hammering the balancer back on - it will damage the crank thrust bearings.
-
Restarting does not clear the stored codes. What code reader are you using? I ask because I had a slight stumble at idle a few times after filling up with gas and my previous code reader didn't show anything, then a long time after with a new code reader it showed there was an evap code stored. I no longer top-off when I gas up and the stumble has never occurred again and no error codes. As a check take it to Autozone and see if they read any codes.

New Motorcraft oil filter FL-2062-A vs the FL-2062
1004ron replied to 1004ron's topic in 2.7L EcoBoost
Thanks for that, I wasn't aware that Forscan was available for other OS - paid the $6 and downloaded it on my Samsung tablet that I bought for the solely for use on my BMW motorcycle. I now have two uses for my only Android device. -
New Motorcraft oil filter FL-2062-A vs the FL-2062
1004ron replied to 1004ron's topic in 2.7L EcoBoost
I too have never seen the dashboard indication. I disconnect the sensor to get clearer access to the fill plug, and one time forgot to reconnect it so when I turned on the ignition I got an error code. Wonder if there's a way to access the temp reading with an OBDII device? -

My 2017 Sport has the PTU temp sensor. -

1004ron replied to 1004ron's topic in 2.7L EcoBoost
That's not what forums like this are about. Openly exchange ideas without personal attacks, but also being open to having your ideas challenged. "speaking the truth" - its not a truth issue - you expressed/presented an opinion, not a "truth". -
I would advise contacting Ford Canada yourself, and find a reputable independent service place or another dealership for future work.
-
I would not accept tap water being mixed with the coolant in my vehicle and there's good reason why Ford's product label specifies distilled water. The fact that the water they're using might be quite soft doesn't cut it with me - the detrimental impact will only be seen after a long period of service. Reject it if they don't follow Ford's directions which are clear on the product labels and that PDF.
-
Here's another thread on that, with the Ford PDF on the change.

New Motorcraft oil filter FL-2062-A vs the FL-2062
1004ron replied to 1004ron's topic in 2.7L EcoBoost
I won't get into any sort of competition regarding our qualifications, but need to point out that you suggested that the Ford qualified techs or engineers erred with regards the PTU lifetime fill. Appreciate that you had good intensions presenting an alternate filter, but from my side I'd like to caution my fellow members that there's no evidence or engineering support confirming that its a safe alternative. -

1004ron replied to 1004ron's topic in 2.7L EcoBoost
Not just a recommendation, its a specification. I haven't seen a reliable source for the technical specifications for each of the two filters and without that it would be an experiment in the dark, and the same thing goes with experimentation using alternate oil grades. Not something I would promote our members try especially if still under warranty. -
With it being a 2012 its obviously no longer under warranty and any repairs/upgrades will be paid out of your pocket - if it was under warranty I'd be more inclined to allow the Dealership to have at it seeing as it would be coming out of their pockets, including any failed experiments. To me it sounds like they're treating the symptoms and not the cause - if it was me, I'd take it to another Dealership. "also my fan has been redirected to work directly once I start my my engine" - that stinks of "shade tree mechanic"

I did it now! Team RXP 2020 dual catch can kit
1004ron replied to DrivingofftheEdge's topic in 2.0L EcoBoost
@handfiler hit the nail on the head. Good to hear that you got it sorted and shame on Team RXP. -
Yes, I don't like the idea of using the 18" emergency spare, and taking another look at it this evening I decided that I'm going to keep one of those Puncture Plug kits, and a small 12v compressor that I already have, in the ample space in the area where the existing spare is kept. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MR5FX8M/?coliid=I28AFU02Y7FK60&colid=7FQZRUTL8DOG&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
-
There I was all these years assuming that I had a 21" spare wheel in the trunk, and as others have pointed out its an 18". The OD is significantly smaller than the 21" wheels, so if I was to use it I'll limit the speed and distance to avoid damage to the differential.

Climate Fan repeatedly turns all the way up!

For the button that you want to disable, you could cut the printed circuit board track and if it doesn't work out good just join it with solder.
