I asked a question about brake bias some time back. 

The answer to the best of my recollection is that with rear brakes engaging first minimizes nose dive.

On  my 2009 Edge that had 150K  (traded) had minimum nose dive.  I replaced brake pads only once.

A scan gage can be set to boost, RPM and 2 other parameters at the same time.

I just installed LED front amber signal lights.  Nice and BRIGHT now.

I replaced my puddle lights with LED lights.  Much brighter.

I found this after I did one just like this one except I used a manual switch.

Good luck getting the lug nut loose on a roadside  with the provided tire tool.

I strain using a 24 inch breaker bar.

I have a  Ford 2017 Ford Edge Titanium. Page 332 of the owners manual has a torque value of 162 lb.ft. for the lug nuts. WHYIs the torque so High when the torque for an F-150 is 100 lb.ft.?

To keep the wheels on is not an acceptable answer.

Page 332 of  2017 Ford Edge Titanium owners manual has a torque value of 162 lb.ft. for the lug nuts.

This seems to be very high for a lug nut.  I haven't tried to remove one with the tool provided  with the spare tire.  What is the reason for this torque other than to  keep the wheels on?

2.0L

Where is access to the in line fuel filter?

I have had the rear bench seat out and nothing there looked like an access point.

Another marvelous thing produced by designers/engineers who NEAVER work on a vehicle.

I took my catch can off of my 2009 3.5 Edge before trading for a 2017 Titanium 2.0.

Could you please provide some pictures and narrative on installing a CC on a 2.0. Thanks in advance.

Mobil1 with Motorcraft filter is what I've been using since around 3-4000 miles.

 

Unless you have a way to know the exact amount of oil that comes out, it usually takes me a few days to get the oil at the full mark, which is the top hole. Usually after the oil change I'll get it on a flat service & wait about 30-40 minutes to check the level (to make sure that it's around the full mark & safe to drive) & then drive around. 1sr thing in the morning before the 1st drive, i check the oil again & add if necessary & repeat until the dipstick reads full after sitting over night.

With the turbo & all the lines, it'll take a good 30-40 minutes for 'most' of the oil to work its way back to the pan. Usually, if you let it sit over night, then it should have enough time to work it's way back down to the pan. Better to add tiny amounts than bigger amounts & risk over filling.

 

I believe that the 2.0 requires nearly 6 quarts of oil according to the manual (which i don't have in front of me).

 

1 thing also to consider is a catch can. I don't know your climate & it really seems to work best (or catch the most contaminants) in temps below freezing. I've caught A Lot of blow by & contaminants with my Catch Can over the last year since it was installed. Most recently, i drained it with around 2,000 miles since i last drained it & it caught a fairly decent amount considering the mileage. To note, last summer, it barely collected anything, maybe a few drops during an oil change (5,000ish miles). Once the temps went below freezing, it started collecting more.

What does the switch inhibit "checked" inhibit?

what is meth???

I found out that an AMSOIL EaO 26 oil filter will fit the engine and it will add almost a quart of oil to the system.

Pre fill the filter prior to installation.

If you intend to use an EaO 26 filter get the filter cap wrench which will make installation and removal real easy.

The filter has been on for about 1000 miles.....NO LEAKS

What are the symptoms of a throttle body Acting up?

I'll find out in a week or so. I need an address. How can I contact you?

I also have a Lockable hitch pin and a drop ball mount with a 2" ball for $30.

Shipping via UPS will be a little <less than $80.

I don't think I can cover the shipping for $50.

i'll check with UPS for shipping $$.

I have a Valley hitch that I had on a 2009 Edge for sale for $50 + shipping.

What are the normal parameters for:

Oil pressure

What is the set pressure for the oil pump relief valve

Coolant temperature

At what temperature does the cabin heater provide heat

I have a Valley hitch that was on my 2009 Edge. I removed prior to trading in. Was used about 3 or 4 times in 8 years.

Specs;

4000 LBS. Max trailer weight

400 LBS. Max tongue weight

Fits 2007-2009 Edge or Lincoln MKX

I have the original mounting hardware and instructions.

Asking $50 + Shipping

If local to DFW I'll give directions.

Has anyone found a Sill Plate Cover that fits a 2015 - 2018 Edge?

 

 

 

All depends on that right foot, what grade/quality fuel you're using (Top Tier Preferred), winter mix fuel, tire pressures, driving style etc. Most people forget that this is a turbo engine & is around full boost around 2,300 RPM (Don't have the exact figures in front of me) & need to 're-learn' how to drive in order to get the best MPG's out of the 2.0 Ecoboost. Accelerating to stop lights/signs is a very good way to burn fuel in these things. Just keep an eye on the fuel economy mode on the left side of the Speedometer & you'll see what i mean when you accelerate to stop. If you gradually get up to speed & coast to a stop sign, you're MPG's go way up. Anticipating stop lights or 'knowing' the cycle is also a good way to increase MPG's as you're not wasting fuel idling when you're getting 0 MPG's.

 

I've also seen a 2-4 MPG difference between a Top Tier station & a non Top Tier Station. Gas just isn't gas any more. Different Gas Stations have different additives in the fuel & some are worse than others. Speedway Gas Stations are the worse & I avoid them at all costs unless it's an emergency to get me a few miles up the road.

 

When my wife drives the car, she can't get much above 25-26mpg in the summer on the highway. When I drive, we get closer to 28-29. In the winter, she can barely get 23-24, but i get 25-27.

 

We're taking a road trip over the weekend & it'll be the first road trip with my Oil Catch Can installed, so maybe we'll see an improvement there as well.

I had a Catch can on my 09 edge, removed it when I traded it. I'm trying to figure out how & ware to install it on my 2017 2.0EB. Pictures or other info would be a great help.

My Scan Gage has a vacuum(-)/boost(+) capability.

Works great Plugs into the OBD.
