Click that right arrow at the lower right, and it shows the severe or special uses interval, and the exceptions that include PTU and rear diff. Transmission is on the main maintenance schedule at 150,000 miles.

2019 most seem to not have engine cover, but still hood blanket. Most Fords lost the engine cover that year, even without the updated engine, and it is a difficult one to get, the Lincoln one is easier (as it didn't lose it). Note that the configuration of the oil fill and dipstick changed for 2019 and previous 2.0 engine covers do not match. You can see if you have the attachment points (the ball end it snaps on to, and the threaded stem).

It is all right there in the Scheduled Maintenance section. Oil, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid. these all have a maintenance interval. Rear Axle and PTU are stated as not having a normal schedule, no maintenance unless submerged in water, severe duty, or a leak is found. Now unofficially most will not follow the normal maintenance schedule, and should follow the severe duty schedule and add the rear diff and PTU, doing fluid changes more frequently and doing them even if not a normally changed item.

Well, someone can look up by VIN the build sheet to see how it is equipped, but no part of the VIN can be decoded to show it has ACC. You can try inputting it into parts.ford.com to see if it gives you the part number you need for the correct part for having ACC, I have done that in the past to be able to get the right upgraded brake parts (larger rotors, brackets, and calipers). This is all that can be decoded via VIN: https://content.fordpro.com/content/dam/fordpro/us/en-us/pdf/fleet-vehicles/vin-lookup-and-guides/2013-vin-guide.pdf without further help. If they show the steering wheel it will have the different controls ACC vs standard.

Even adaptive cruise isn't aggressive in lowering speed if taken higher than the set speed. It also is not very aggressive at turning off when you use the gas pedal to go faster than the set speed. I had a rental car that it didn't take much to turn off. With the adaptive cruise I use cruise less for a minimum speed than I used to, but still often times that is how I use it. I guess never for 5 minutes. Eco mode in a Fusion Hybrid did help with fuel mileage but I feel it let the speed get too low, not tractor/trailer with flashing lights slow, but pretty close. 80 mph down to 55-60, where non eco mode would maintain it within 5 mph. I never felt comfortable in hilly driving with eco mode, which is where it shines for some.

Did someone mention swap coolers? I love mine. It is a bit odd to see old school next to solar panels, and behind me is the condenser for the AC. I down sized my cooler (it was a 6800 cfm 1hp single inlet) to 45 cfm 1/2 hp and it perfect, until it gets humid, then the AC comes on. But late April until mid July I bank a lot of power credits using it instead of AC. It is maintenance heavy and not sure how many more years I want to go up on the rook 4 times a year, but $300-400 saving even with solar is worth it to me.

They are saying bearing wear. I suppose it is the planetary gear bearing, same failure that the Transit Connect had? Do I roll the dice and have them dig into it and try to replace that part? Looks like $3000 in labor just to R&R it, but is $500 worth of parts plus more labor worth the gamble? "my lucky day" they have one in stock and can get to it in 2 days.

Couldn't get it in for 10 days: They said it would be 2-14 days for a diagnostic (but it was driven 10 miles last night, parked at a different place, then driven today, triggering even more FordPass Powertrain faults). The transmission shops are probably similar in price for the transmission and installation, maybe by my estimate $500 less, which is a lot, but percentage wise not enough. None of them have really dealt with the 8f35 yet, and hope it is similar enough to the 6f35...not confidence inspiring.

I would love to have this for my 2019, instead of trying to hoard individual PDFs. Can I DM you?

Clearing the codes only works if the issue is fixed, so whatever is causing the 2 faults needs fixed.

I don't think so. It either says parked and shows the parked location, or it shows running and it shows the last parked location. Very handy to see it while it is being driven. Updates where fairly consistent, but I didn't need GPS level tracking up the second, just at a glance general location was so so nice. A lot of other vehicles that can do much more, like zone lighting, lost much of that functionality as well.

Yes, 2009 Elite with Navigation has 14 speakers (one is that 8 inch sub, one is the center channel), 600 watts across 12 channels, or it is available stand alone without navigation. I find the 9 speaker premium sound in mine (without a sub) plenty, on par with self installed aftermarket in my older cars, but I do miss the bump I get in my Fusion.

Is any of what you want to do high amperage that needs a fused link right from the battery, or is it all accessory type things, like that dash cam? A fuse tap inside the cabin and not breaching a seal would be better. If going for a amp, then someone recently chronicled their at least partial install, including running large gauge wire to the cargo area.

Okay, so there really is no comparison. My 2019 transmission has stopped transmitting power reliably (I haven't gotten a diag done yet), but we had already planned a Vegas trip for a wedding. I reserved a Nissan Maxima (any "luxury" sedan), but it is obvious they do nothing but CUVs. they said it was a hybrid, a mild hybrid I guess. It had under 450 miles on it. Pluses: slightly higher end materials inside easy to point and adjust vents Google Infotainment map in perspective mode in center of cluster more HP in a much smaller package LED headlights that didn't get me flashed by every oncoming car wireless charging pad that didn't melt my phone Minuses sooooo smol! Only went for 2days, used a carry one sized suite case, and it went from back of back seat to the lift gate weird textured door cubbies made me not want to use them, sorta like flocking super bad fuel mileage (averaged 25 mpg over 921 miles), I got at least 28 in my Edge same trip, I think with adult supervision I had this time, I would get 30 again in the Edge Google admin locked, so couldn't get apps, and had to go through FTUE (First Time User Experience) every time I had to connect to Bluetooth from my phone each time for streaming music portrait screen, back up camera taking up only the bottom, smaller than the 4 inch SYNC 1.1 screen the average distance to empty would go from 490 miles to 220 miles after bombing a decent sized hill, then back to 390 miles, stressful planning stop where there are not many places the stupid "drug dealer" no interior lights on door open was permanently set, I had to turn it on find stuff each time no remote start or phone start (it was only 108 in Vegas) no good views of average, instant, estimated remaining fuel mileage no hard buttons for AC, and nothing but a small strip, couldn't find recirc or Max no adaptive cruise or lane keeping cruise above 70 mph was 5 mph increments (you could manually go 82 and set, unset, set to get it there, PITA) if I overrode cruise for more than 5 miles, it would turn off (cruise to me is a minimum speed) At $41 a day, I might think about more rentals for weekend 1000 miles trips more often. But it will be something larger. Also adaptive cruise was designed for this trip, which is Interstate through 2 large cities, 2 and 4 lane highways, and downtown freakin Vegas. This was a $41k vehicle, had sensors on the front bumper and sides but not sure what for. It handled okay, and passed on 2 lane roads okay, but there was a pronounced pause so you just had to hammer it 2 seconds before the oncoming lane opened up. Edge is more direct (except when the transmission no longer works...). I should have tried for an XC60, or found a sedan at another location. Returned it with 1,400 miles.

I think it only does OBD-II codes, and not PCM or other modules. I used one like it, Torque on my cell phone, but not until I used Forscan on a laptop did I get the maturing/pending codes or eventually the ones that set the powertrain fault. Mine went from slightly jerky (like the TSB...under 35 mph, I was setting up an appointment to get it programmed, if it met the criteria, on my own dime) to a whole slew of various solenoid and friction codes, some are E which is used for 5-8th, some are the frctions used for other gears, and that is how it was behaving, freewheeling above 4th gear unless I slowed down. The p0771 from OBD-II was the only one I ever saw on just a code reader (it was 110 degrees outside and I was dying so I just took camera shots of the screen):

It is "printed" on each window, on the front lower corner of the roll down windows, and front lower on the little ones as well. Mine looks like 18%. Oops the back don't show it, just the front (which is 70%)

Nice looking vehicle for that many miles! Hopefully you can continue to knock out the issues for cheap and your labor, and find you like it enough to keep, but either way, keep the details flowing! I junked a 2000 Grand Marquis at 330,000 miles because it just had too many little issues and it became not a pleasure to drive. I sorta regret it now as the replacements have failed to live up to expectations, and I could have tackled most of the issues in a week or so (engine still purred, transmission still was shifting fine, it was starting to guess wrong what gear it should be in).

There are 2 pumps, a low pressure one in the tank, and a high pressure one off the back of the engine. I don't have the details on getting to either one though.

Mercon LV (and ULV) are like that. At 93k miles, how was the fluid changed? A single drain and refill? 4-5 quarts of the total (9 quarts for 2.0, 11 for 2.7/3.5), or some other method? If it was just a single drain, it isn't going to come out that light cherry red of Mercon LV. It will still be dark. It takes 3 in a row drains and refills to get most of the fluid changed. When the first vehicle rolled out using Mercon LV Ford released a document that states that since it is a darker dye, it will get dark very early, and color is not a good indicator of health, unless there are solids in suspension or it smells burnt. This is the text from the SSM from 2009 when vehicles starting shipping with Mercon LV:

If it is a SYNC 3 equipped Lincoln (up to 2020) it is a button. 2021+ it is in the SYNC 4 screen config menu.

Not a comically small hand on a comically large button on a comically large center console?

The 2023/2024 owners manual has details on it's use, but I have never seen an Edge with it. It isn't in the 2022 owners manual. 2017+ MKX/Nautilus have it standard or later on in higher trim levels. I have enabled and used it in a 2020 Explorer. It is a pretty nice feature, but if you don't understand it then when you go to take off it feels like the car is broken.

Got it drained a couple of times, the fluid was dark but didn't smell burnt, and filtered it through a coffee filter and no chunks. Getting a variety of error still, and a variety of driving issues: delayed shift to D, with a jerk, but can run it up through all the gears and down shift on throttle application eventually I appear to lose 5-8 (clutch E), it still tries, but free wheels until I slow down once I go forward, then reverse complains, and the shifter moves itself to Park with a shifter fault in Park it wouldn't rev up, I think it thought it was still in reverse codes for fun: P0752 - shift solenoid A stuck on P270:00-2C friction element A range/performance same p0274:00-28 friction element E range/performance one for friction element F Looks like it is going on the hook to the dealer, then sometime this decade they will do a diagnostic on it, and let me know I need a new transmission and torque converter. There was a little more gunk around the vent than I expected for a 5 year old 90k mile vehicle, I drained 4.75 quarts, put in 5.25 and probably .25 quarts oozed out the sight hole once up to temperature. I don't think it is was or is high or low on fluid, the old fluid didn't smell burnt or have solids in it (very light swirls of floating something). I don't think one more fluid change will do anything, and no external sensors that I can do anything with related. I fought that extension for the vent putting it back on, while I get the saying "doing the same thing again and again expecting a different outcome" I kept trying to do the the same thing (hose clamp pliers low to compress, grab with needle nose up high, try to get in place and press down before slipping out). I finally found slightly larger needle nose with good grip and popped it right on. On my 6f35 vehicles I had to take off the tire to get to the sight hole, but this one I didn't, I could turn the wheel to the passenger side and get right in there. Also neither plug (drain or sight) required more than my 1/4 drive plastic harbor freight ratchet, I tried them since I had them out already, and easy off. My other vehicles took a 3/8 drive and with all the extensions, holding the center of the ratchet, so that was nice (neither of them leaked, it wasn't low of fluid).

Thank you for those! A lot of good information that help me at least start narrowing it down, and to do the fluid change. Unfortunately the second step on most is removal, followed by overhaul. I didn't realize that Mercon ULV is $20 a quart locally. Sure with the shipping from RockAuto it was around $10 a quart, but whoa. It is $9 at the dealer, but they don't seem to have any stock on hand.

Anyone have the details on removing the air cleaner/filter housing for a 2019 with the 2.0? I hate to be stuck on step 1, I just am not able to find the mounting points (and not prolonging the pain that is completing this task...). Never mind, once I got the snorkle unbolted it became obvious it was just press fit into rubber donuts, and pulling up harder released it. Now to the rest of it!
