This wasn't all today but over the last couple weeks. Changed the headlight bulbs to the vosla +30 bulbs, replaced the front emblem, added a steering wheel cover and put on a rear bumper protector.

Do it within a year and you should be good.  So about every 4 months or 5,000 miles as you suggested should work fine.  Are you using OEM coolant or aftermarket.  Might not do any harm to mix aftermarket, but I don't like taking chances.  If mixing, I would do it all as soon as possible.

Thanks. I'm using the Ford recommended orange coolant. Same stuff she came with.

Pretty normal.  Which is why when you do a DIY "flush", it takes quite a few drains/fills along the way.

How many miles on your 2014 now?  How many miles do you put on in a year?  It will take about 4x of this to finish refreshing the coolant, 1x is done, so 3 more to go.

I've got 63,000 miles on her and I put on about 12,000 miles a year. What kind of interval do you recommend I use for the next three drain and fills?

I decided I would do the radiator drain and fill with 63K on my 2014 with 3.5 V6. I put it up on ramps and drained the radiator. I was a little disappointed to only get a gallon of coolant out. I guess I'll just hold on to the second gallon of premixed and do it again in maybe 5,000 miles?

Interior lights and the instrument cluster come on when entering the vehicle. It's possible the battery is on the way out.

I can't find an easy way to hit fat32, only exfat which is what Ford wants me to do, or NTFS.

 

What did you use to format fat32?

 

I'm using a 64GB SanDisk extreme USB 3 drive

Getting a "Not secure" in front of the URL which I believe means the site is not encrypted. Has it always been this way?

I personally wouldn't bother with navigation. Nowadays your cell phone will do a better and cheaper job.

I had an Escape and both tone rings cracked and caused the ABS to kick on. I found someone on-line who cleaned up the rust and JB welded the ring back in place. I did this and it had held up for over two years and was still working when I sold the vehicle. I don't know if anyone has tried this with the Edge yet. As far as driving without the ABS enabled, sure you can drive it that way. I drove for years without it because it wasn't invented yet. The only issue is if your state has some form of safety inspection to renew your tags you probable wouldn't pass with the ABS light on.

Oil and filter change with Mobil 1 Extended 5W-20 and a FL500S. Also took the time to drain and fill with 5q of fresh Mercon LV. Cabin filter (if you wanna call this flimsy paper a filter) as well.

 

Turning over 60k miles this week.

I was wondering how much coolant was required. Did you just drain the radiator and refill?

This is what I put in.

She needs new brakes and I usually do them myself but it's been in the mid nineties, and according to the weather forecast, will stay this way for the foreseeable future. I don't have an air conditioned garage so I think I will just take it somewhere. Do you recommend a dealership or an independent shop with good recommendations?

Thanks. Somehow "Just items I follow" got checked. Senior moment. Thanks!

You could try plasti dip. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/19700-plasti-dip-on-wheels/?hl=%2Bplasti+%2Bdip+%2Brims&do=findComment&comment=145666

I'll give it a shot. Sounds like a bad ball joint.

Welcome, and well done! How about some before/after pics?

Would love to but I didn't bother taking pics. Sorry. They look good.

Installed drivebright drl's. It went fairly well. The hardest part was routing all the wires and making sure they were well secured.
