  They kept my ST for four days, because they had to order the plastic transmission cover and gasket .

I'll check for leaks on the next oil change

Not yet.

JLT catch can installed this morning.

I did not have to wrap the left hose under the wiring , as in the instructions for the Sport installation, because the new engine cover is farther away from the hoses.

I also put in a JLT black separator .

It seems to catch oil very quickly. I assumed the 2.7 still does not have additional port injectors to clean the intake valves.

Assume you have a 2019? What engine?

My 2018 3.5L AWD is not doing that.

That's not good, take it to the dealer ASAP.

Yes, it is a 2019 with a 2.7 .

Just did my first oil change at 2,000 miles and noticed transmission fluid leaking from the front of the transmission.  Has anyone else had this problem?

I do hear mine in sport mode.

 It's not very loud, but I don't rev it much yet.

Currently at 195 miles

I'd love to see a side profile view of your edge to get a better look at those wheels if its not too much trouble.

I've been trying to post more pictures but I think they are too large.

A picture of the tire is 4.30 MB  but it won't upload.

Just washed and waxed. I was surprised to see Hankook tires.

Humm.........I'm old and therefore a little skeptical , seen a lot of dealers, bought a lot of cars.

If I was a betting man I would say the stickers will still be on.

But I sure have been wrong many times before.  ?

 

 

Dealers will be dealers . The sticker was removed , but I didn't notice until I left, that they replaced the trailer hitch cover with a dealer sign.

Congrats @snowtire!  When the dealership does their prep, make sure they take off the protective film off the Ford Performance engine cover plaque .  They forgot mine and its easy to miss. 

I opened the hood and the film was still there and he removed it.

Thanks everyone.

I called the dealer back today, he said they already put a sticker on it, but they will take it off tomorrow.

 I'll try to remember to take pictures.

Ordered on October 3rd, Delivered yesterday, and we can pick it up tomorrow .

 Now I have to go to work and take the day off tomorrow .

I hope this means everyone else who has waited months will be getting theirs delivered soon!

That was 10 weeks .

I genuinely hope this is resolved for you. You might be better of looking for a car on a lot. Or trying a new dealer. 

 I wonder at what point are we allowed to get our deposit back.  I put $500.00 down.

Checked again today and I have a new window sticker produced on 12/10/18 and a new production date of 12/9/18. I wonder if a delay caused a push back in builds and someone finally got the system all caught up. I guess we will see if it moves to waiting shipment after a few days. My estimated delivery date hasn't changed though and I see it unlikely to take 15 days from today to arrive.

 

Update again: Dealer just sent me a text saying the car is built and sitting at the dock waiting for shipment. SO apparently the tracking site is a bit off. 

Fingernip,   I wonder if in transit means it is actually en-route on the truck. I don't know why it would take even 12 days to arrive at my dealer from Ontario. Sounds like Dacford's ST has been used in a crash test, or has been stolen.  Anyway, it will be interesting to see who takes delivery first between the three of us.

Wait, you ordered one? Nobody (not even sales people) should drive it. I'd be pissed if it had more than 10 miles! Mine had one test drive by a customer and two by sales people (5 packed in it, then drew straws to see who drove!). With three test drives, there were 29 miles on mine.

 

No leaks on mine. Built on the 1st day. Fingers crossed (check once a week... maybe should check daily!).

Hopefully everyone will look but not touch.

That is crazy, they must be scanning barcodes as it moves along. With a beer in one hand and the scanner in the other.

 I hope it's not because of the leaks/issues.  I won't be holding my breath for an on time delivery .

 My dealer says they have no 2019 Edges at all! So my ST if delivered on time will be the only one on the lot.

and will be ogled and driven by curious people. "lets see what it can do!"  But I want to break it in gently to moderately .  My Escape had 8 miles on it .

The dealer said some new cars have 45 miles, depending on factory testing, which gives them time to drive MY car.

 I might have to stake out the dealer and watch them do their dealer prep with a good pair of binoculars . Ive seen what they do to brand new STs on youtube videos.

What do they do (link)?

 

This one is from a dealer named Mr. Ginger.   Hard Break-in starts at about 18:44 .     I've read that maximum boost pressure will not be attained until over 1000 miles has been logged.

  Once the honing marks are worn off of the inside of the cylinder, that ends the break in period in my opinion.

I guess my special order will trump their test drives.

Awaiting shipment and in transit were both checked off today at the same time.

 it says 12/16 est. delivered

Plus you have yours now and I don't.

That's What I ordered, except in blue. still waiting for them to build it.  Paid about 40000 no vista roof.

congratulations  ! 

 Did you get the 400 or 401A package?

The dealers around here, were not able to order them before the middle of September for some reason.

 I have heard that they have to wait until the truck is full of cars before they can start driving.
