Mr. Westfield

Has anybody installed Goodridge Stainless Steel brake hoses? As my 2008 Edge is aging, I have noticed that the brakes are starting to feel mushy and soft. I have personally bled the brakes and the feeling has not changed. Will these hoses give this vehicle a bit more feel to the brakes? Is the master cylinder the soft source? I have driven my buddy's 2011 Edge and it feels very, very different. http://www.goodridge.net/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/topcategories_-1_64_10551

Go to www.coverking.com to get the best fitting covers around. Cutouts for the airbags, no sags or anything. I have them on my Edge and have been very happy with them.

Go right to www.coverking.com and see what they have. I have the entire set for the truck and they fit and look like they were from the factory. No bunching or anything. Can't go wrong.

The noise you are probably hearing are the cam phasers. My 2008 does it when cold, then after warm up, it goes away. It does this for about 4 minutes or so. My Ford dealer told me that these phaser noises are normal. We even went outside and checked a 2008 and 2010 Ford with the 3.5L engine. One was a Taurus X, the other an Edge. I just make sure that synthetic oil is installed every 5 months or so. I have to admit that was not the answer I was looking for, but for my own protection, I keep with the synthetic.

Just to let you know, those cam phasers in the 3.5L engine NEED 5w20 oil to have them actuate the way they should. The tolerances inside of the phaser are extremely tight. 5w30 is too thick. 5w20 regardless of synthetic, blend or old fashioned dinosaur oil is what will keep your engine from getting pulled and having those phasers replaced. Yes the engine needs to be pulled to replace them. Stick with what the oil cap states, change it often with a good filter and you should never have any issues.

I have Firestone Destination tires on my Edge and they are quiet and track well in the rain. Good price too.

WHAT? Never rotated tires? Never heard of such a thing. Buy new tires, rotate them every 6-8 thousand miles and never have this issue again.

Does anybody have a single CD player and steering wheel controls for the radio? I purchased a leather wheel for my SE and would like to hook-up the radio controls. I know a Ford tech who can re-configure the as built data. Just need the specific number of the radio.

Has anyone here installed MGP caliper covers on their Edge? Just trying to see what they look like before I purchase them. WWW.calipercovers.com

So what can we do to our 07'-08' Edges to retro over the A/C concern to the new level? New blower motor? New ductwork?

Has anybody seen and used the Royal Purple oil filter for our beloved Edge? A little pricey. Is it worth it?

Does the 2008 Edge also come with a trans cooler? Or is it just the 2010 model?
