Can I disable artificial engine sound in cabin?
1004ron replied to Jombi's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
9=FT present & CS: North American & ANC absent & USB present Wouldn't "9" be correct for my vehicle? -

I think folks here are looking for a DIY option, not paying the dealership. -
Can I disable artificial engine sound in cabin?
1004ron replied to Jombi's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Does my 2017 Sport have the artificial sound? @Gadgetjq , I can't find that on the list of Forscan mods that I have. -
@onyxbfly where did you get that service manual?
-
The leak on my 2017 Sport was from the Oil Solenoid near the main crank pulley.

I've seen a few posts and videos showing the auto transmission drain and fill, but none were of the Gen2 later models. Would welcome any tips and directions for my 2017 2.7L Sport.

2014 Edge new front pads and rotors.
1004ron replied to David Young's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
What rotors and pads did you get? I got these for $170 : https://www.jegs.com/i/Power-Stop/419/K7143/10002/-1 -
Its a legitimate question - what's your actual problem with that? So, what is it with the OEM filter that you consider makes it a poor choice?
-
I know people that have added a hose down near the ground with a small filter attached. For me, I'll go with my catch can as its not much effort or cost to help towards improving the air we breathe, ....... and everything collected in the catch can I put in my waste oil container that goes to AutoZone.
-
The stock air filter is designed to accommodate max flow (wide open throttle at high rpm) without a pressure drop that could impact performance - very few folks would operate near max flow, so unless you're racing and want to squeeze out every minute bit of performance, there'd be nothing gained paying a premium for those filters.

What's wrong with the stock Motocraft filter?

DRL's Daytime running lights

I'm not surprised the dealership didn't understand the request. -
The oil consumption and catch can volume and rate of fill is not normal, and points to bad rings. The tune automatically suggests spirited driving or racing, which will make it less likely that Ford will volunteer warranty.

Local Ford dealership used tap water for coolant mix
1004ron replied to ThugFordEdge3.5's topic in 3.5L
That's what I assumed, and just wanted to check if that was a correct assumption. -
Local Ford dealership used tap water for coolant mix
1004ron replied to ThugFordEdge3.5's topic in 3.5L
Is that if you're changing coolant type, or is it also required for a maintenance coolant replacement? -

1004ron replied to ThugFordEdge3.5's topic in 3.5L
Not too serious depending on the specific content of the tap water, but most locations have minerals (calcium, iron, chlorine, sodium, .....) that can precipitate in the cooling system and cause problems. Distilled water is so cheap and readily available, there's no reason to take a risk with tap water. -
Power Stop® - Evolution Geomet® Z17 Plain Brake Kit
1004ron replied to HockeyShot39's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
I just recently installed the drilled and slotted version, and very happy with it - just a few dollars more, and I think worth the extra. Sold by Jeggs on Amazon and free 2-day delivery. Power Stop K7143 Front Brake Kit with Drilled/Slotted Brake Rotors and Z23 Evolution Ceramic Brake Pads -
So much better. That previous intake to me just smacks of boy racer and would have made me think twice about buying.

@DaMiFo I have a new set of the original lug nuts (warranty replacements) but might go for those McGard instead. https://www.amazon.com/McGard-64074-Chrome-Black-Thread/dp/B00DIX0ZSS/ref=sr_1_14?gclid=Cj0KCQjwvo_qBRDQARIsAE-bsH_8tDBFKWCSGvVFR1FzMcihTDw9DBge0Z3jSL5skL55Q1K6p7dfm0MaAkAbEALw_wcB&hvadid=177574221527&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1017825&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t2&hvqmt=e&hvrand=1958230932780261336&hvtargid=kwd-4096568384&hydadcr=5488_9590406&keywords=mcgard+lug+nuts&qid=1564745947&s=gateway&sr=8-14

13/16" = 20.6375 mm , so the 21mm emergency lug wrench would work, a little loose, but snug enough.
-
No, I can't answer that one - I can check my wife's 2015 Mustang original lug nuts when I get home, or you can contact that supplier. The original Edge lug nuts are 21mm If you plan on using an impact wrench, consider getting one of these sockets. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008XMDSJC/?coliid=I1ZARASLP4FJ20&colid=7FQZRUTL8DOG&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

If you plan on using an impact wrench then yes, you'll need to get better lug nuts and those you're looking at are good and correct. Remember, your emergency wrench in the trunk won't work when the lug nuts are deformed. Ford using an impact wrench not only damaged the lug nuts, but also chipped the coating on my wheels. I don't use a torque wrench , and agree 162 seems high.

Conversion kit for sync 2 to 3 for a 1015
1004ron replied to Lvs621's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
I've looked at this for my wife's Mustang, and just cant see spending that much coin, so she's stuck with the small 4.1" screen and Sync 2. -
Before You Shop Elsewhere......
1004ron replied to Gadgetjq's topic in Dealership & Vendor Experiences
Do you have any reliable sources confirming that?
