  1. You're right, impact sockets are a lot beefier. I've watched the tech's at my dealership use the pneumatic impact tool and when the lug nut comes off the thread the nut and socket smack the wheels, and my wheels have the scars to show. I first encountered the Ford lug nuts with the soft aluminium outer layer when I took my wife's Mustang in for new tires - I had to purchase a set of lug nuts from the fitment shop. Ford supplied a full set of the same type of lug nuts when I found that the dealership had damaged them - because the nuts "swell" the dealership use a 22mm socket which makes it worse for the owner when they attempt to use the standard 21mm socket or the emergency wrench in the trunk. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a15339991/swollen-lug-nuts-are-costing-ford-drivers-time-and-money-lawsuit-claims/

  3. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008XMDSJC/?coliid=I1ZARASLP4FJ20&colid=7FQZRUTL8DOG&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it I like them and believe they'll be of benefit to those that spin the nuts completely off with an impact wrench - I haven't bought one yet because so infrequently take my wheels off and do it by hand.
  4. I wouldn't focus on oil pressure light coming on when the engine cut out while the ignition was still one. When you tried the jumpers, did it crank? What engine? Don't think anyone here would be able to offer any pointers without doing some diagnostics, or if you could have got the stored error codes, which won't be possible with it on its way to the dealership.

  6. A "5 week old" vehicle with a poor maintenance record for its 135,000 miles covered?
  7. My wife's 2015 3.7L V6 water pump started leaking at 63K miles and a little research uncovered a TSB covering the premature pump failure and the cure being a check valve in a hose that runs from the expansion tank to the thermostat housing. The TSB covers models up to 2014 and my wife's being a 2015 should have had the check valve installed in the factory, but it didn't have it - my dealership contacted Ford Corp and they agreed to implement the TSB. Could it be that this check valve plays a role in the pump failures on the 3.5 and 3.7L Edge? https://ford.oemdtc.com/588/coolant-pump-leakage-2011-2014-ford-mustang TSB 14-0212 ISSUE: Some 2011-2014 Mustang vehicles equipped with a 3.7L engine may exhibit coolant pump leakage due to air entering the system.
  8. My dealership used an impact wrench on my 2017 Sport for its first couple of tire rotations, and chipped the coating on my wheels and damaged the two-part lug nuts. Ford replaced the lug nuts and I do all tire rotations without using my impact wrench on them.
  9. I get this error when attempting to access the Classified section. Sorry, there is a problem You do not have permission to view this content. Error code: 1F176/3
  10. For those that use the stock engine air filters. Motorcraft FA-1912-A Air Element - $9.90 on Amazon

  13. I run the $17 Ford Motorcraft and real happy with it. Its highly unlikely that the engine can ingest/swallow the volume of air that the stock air filter's flow restriction inhibits performance.
  14. Seems an awful lot just for the sound.
  15. I bought my Sport new in March 2017 and by the time they released the new map version mine did not qualify for a free update, even though the maps were about 5 years out of date at the time I bought - I just paid and got the new version.

  16. Sorry that your thread hasn't drawn many comments, but keep it to just one thread, this one.
  17. Recently I can only have the acc power on for 5 max 10 minutes before I get the warning that the battery is running low, and in response to that warning I start it and when it starts all the dash values such as remaining miles on tank etc. are reset, indicating that the battery is nearing end of life. This is my daily commute, so don't encounter any issues, only on the odd occasion when I use it on acc power to access the setting or dial in a GPS address. Bought the vehicle in March 2017, and I guess 3+ years is only the low end for what I'd expect for life, seeing as its used daily. How long did your original battery last, and any upgraded batteries available in addition to going up in size seeing as the space for that length wise?
  18. Welcome. Moved to its own thread. If that mechanic is real confident in his diagnostics will he eat the cost of the fuel pump if that doesn't solve the problem? Please consider adding location and vehicle Model / Year to your signature - https://www.fordedgeforum.com/settings/signature/

  20. Not wise to mix the fluid types. https://www.cartechbooks.com/techtips/autotransfluid#:~:text=Mercon LV—the latest Ford,used to replace those fluids. I don't believe that only one Drain-Fill gives you 85-90% change - how did you arrive at those numbers. I would not climb under a vehicle while is half way up the ramps.
  21. If its resistance from the orange seals, try some di-electric grease. https://www.amazon.com/CRC-05109-Technician-Electric-Applicator/dp/B000CCIDAA?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1
