  1. I agree with that, a newer ST would be nice. Although I would probably take a focus because of the manual transmission if I were to change the cars out. Does the newer edge have a manual mode or paddle shifter?
  2. That's interesting. Expensive too, good to know
  3. Can I leave jack stands on the pinch welds of the 2010 ford edge? I did it on a civic, they held fine and the pinch welds were fine too. I don't know about fords though, and I'm a bit worried to try. How does everyone else jack their edge up?
  4. Good to know, interesting to see if adding a new intake/exhaust changes the number at all? I doubt it but I’ll update with my results once I modify the edge
  5. That’s my fault. It’s a 2010 Ford Edge Sport, 3.5L V6. FWD 6 speed auto. I’ll be adding it now too.
  6. Are there any well known transmission upgrades for a 2010 Ford Edge FWD? Doing some research the Ford Edge seems to have a bad transmission and it would be the “weak link” if I chose to turbo the car or modify it. So in that case, I would like to find and buy a new one. That, or get a custom one. It’s not cheap, but I’d rather get it over with. Does anyone know of a place that offers transmissions built better then the factory trans or places that’ll build custom transmission for this car?
  7. That explains it. I'm not dumb enough to do that, but I know that some people would. Thank you
  8. Does anyone else's edge do this? I have a 2010 Ford Edge Sport, and the car revs just fine in drive. It'll go to redline, it isnt slow, it isnt going down in mpg, but when trying to rev it in neutral, even with full throttle holding it down, the revs wont go higher than 4k. I don't know if this is just a problem with my car or if anyone else's Edge does this. If it is a problem though it would be nice to know so I can fix it before it becomes a bigger issue
  9. I'll try this. That's definitely what I'm thinking, too. Should I get a repair manual to figure out which way to turn the adjuster? I've never once worked with a parking brake mechanism, so I'm not too sure on where the cable is or how it works. I know it's simple, though. The parking brake does not even hold the car. I had no idea it was possible for the adjuster mechanism to freeze because of corrosion, but I will definitely check. It makes a lot of sense. Thank you for your help, too.
  10. Before I start: my car is a 2010 Ford Edge. I've had it for about a year or two now, and the problem started pretty early on in my ownership of the car. I recently did replace the front brake pads, brake hardware, brake rotors and greased the slide pins. I have never replaced a part in the rear of the car, which is where this noise is coming from. This is a video of the noise. It sounds the exact same: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrxSKocxd6g When I start backing out, the car is quiet. Not a single unwanted noise. I can even apply the brake, very lightly and nothing happens. I wait a bit, and the noise comes. Like I just encountered a family of whales. It is so loud, it wakes up my neighbors. There is no single condition where it happens, either. Cold weather? It happens. Warm weather? It happens. Warm brakes? Cold brakes? Still happens. I've tried adjusting the parking brake shoe and it may have fixed the problem for a few days.. until the noise returned. I genuinely don't know what to do. The rotors are fine, the bearings are fine, the brake pads still have life left on them.. I have tried a lot of things and I am going to keep trying but I need to know if ANYONE has had this problem before in their car and actually fixed it. Even if it isn't a Ford Edge. I would also like to know the correct direction for turning the star wheel to adjust the parking brake shoes. I need the shoes to be brought closer together, not further apart. I haven't been able to find a good answer, so if anyone knows I would really appreciate at least just the answer to this question. One thing I'll note is that on the left side of the car, the rotor seemed untouched on the inside where the parking brake shoe would touch the rotor when engaged. On the right side, it was the opposite. It looked like the shoe had been rubbing from day 1. That's the side I'm focusing on, since the noise also is much louder there usually.
  11. Sorry I forgot to reply but thank you so much.
  12. what is the tightening sequence and torque specs for the upper intake manifold? i've searched and found a few answers that said different things. should i even torque it or should i go by hand?
  13. the seat warmer on the drivers side of my car does not work, the two lights turn on for a second then turn off and it doesn’t work after until you turn the car off, and then start it again. Im planning on fixing the seat warmer myself (if possible), but i need help with removing the center panel to get to the connectors. im worried about damaging it as I’ve seen others who attempt so have damaged the panel easily. i have a 2009 Ford Edge as well
