  3. HEADREST DVD

    in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC

    Posted

    EDGE GMT, you need to do what I did...go to Wal-Mart and get the portables that strap to the headrest. I paid less than $200 for a pair (one player, 2 separate screens so they have to watch the same dvd). If you only need them occasionally, why spend that much money?!? At that rate, even the cheap ones should last you a few years.

     

    Damn.

     

    Wish I said that.

  7. I just picked up my Edge

    in Welcome Forum!

    Posted

    Hello, I have a 2007 SEL+.

    I have been reading this site for the past couple of months and you guys sold me on the Edge.

    It is used dealer demo, with 7300 miles on it.

    I got a got price and trade in on my 05 F150.

    My Wife picked it out. She liked the Black exterior and interior.

    Only thing is the wheels and tires suck, and I replaced them with Enkei and Goodyears from Discount Tire last week.

    I have the OEM wheels for sale on Craigslist.

    I hope to learn a lot from this forum.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Joe

     

    Excellent choice of wheels. Post some pics.

  9. OEM 17" Edge wheels & tires for sale. Exactly 100 miles on them.

    in Classifieds

    Posted

    These OEM wheels are off my brand new 2007 Ford Edge; They have exactly 100 miles on them. They also fit the Fusion and I believe the Explorer.

    They're Flawless. No "Curb Rash," or scratches. Rubber like new. Photo available. I also have very high resolution images.

     

    Tires are excellent quality Hankook Dynapro AS 235/65/17's. If your unfamiliar with the brand, they put them on Lambo's and Porsche's.

     

    You'll pay $109 a piece + tax (plus $20 each for mount & balance.) That's over $500 just for the tires alone.

    You live in the 949? I lived there from 73 - 81.

  11. Driver Seat hurt your back?

    in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC

    Posted · Edited by Good_Hands

    I travel every week, I have three states to cover. I have no issues with my seats at all. But then again I just got out of an Escape and that thing beat hell out of me, so even a lumber wagon would feel good at this point.

     

    The escape was a wonderful vehicle for every use I had except traveling like I do.

     

    Oh yeah and I do have a Lumber wagon, I use it on weekends, I live approximately three axle greaseings from town, and those wheels are made of wood.

     

    I live so far out in the woods my breath smells like cord wood, and I have eaten so many Rabbits I drag my own Butt to clean it.

  13. Need some Advice on Tires Pressure

    in Wheels & Tires

    Posted

    Please do not insult me I am asking a simple questions and you are not providing any help with your dumb-ass reply

     

     

     

     

    NO ONE IS LETTING AIR OUT OF MY TIRES another helpless answer please move on

     

    Seriously guys I'm not some moron that has only owned one car in my life. I take great care of my vehicles and I don't go months on end with out checking tire pressure. In this instance my tire pressure has been checked every 2 -3 weeks that is when the light comes on so yes it is loosing air at a rate the is faster then it should be. I don't think to many drivers check there tire pressure every week. I did when I owned my motorcycle but on todays cars it is not unreasonable to go 3 weeks without checking your tires air pressure. And weather I check them myself or go to the tires shop that I pass everyday they get checked so what the big deal who does it.

     

    I am not asking for help on how to check the air pressure or my engine oil level either like I said above this is not my first car but thanks for all the help so far some of you have give me so good advice, others well thanks for the laughs.

     

    :banghead:

     

    Sheesh...It's called a sense of humor. Get one.

     

    You have a very strange situation and we are trying to give you suggestions. I agree with akirby; to have all four tires with a small leak in each one of them is very unlikely.

     

    If you don't like what any of us have to say, then figure something else out. After all, you are the one who doesn't think he should check his tire pressure because he has the TPMS. "What good would checking them myself do if I don't have nitrogen to fill them back up(?) I'd still have to go to the tire shop." Using that same logic, why check the oil or radiator level; you just have to get them filled up too.

     

     

    You could always develop an Excel spreadsheet. Test each tire three times every three hours. Make a column showing each tire, the tire pressure and the time you checked it.

    I vaguely remember something about the wires hanging down. I checked mine and don't have the same problem. I guess you can stick it back up in there but...I think I would probably mention it to the dealer the next time I was there.

     

     

    Does this answer your questions? If not, pm or post again. Tks!

  19. Gas Mileage

    in All Wheel Drive (AWD)

    Posted

    We have had our 2007 Edge now for about 1-1/2 months (3800 mi) bought used with 2500 mi on it. We are seeing 14.9 on our avg gas mileage readout. Nearly all in town driving. Anyone else getting these numbers? We were hoping for closer to 16 mpg. :shades:

     

    I think I saw one or two posts about this very same subject...can't remember for sure.

     

    Something about the mileage getting better as the engine gets broken in. In fact, I think a few people are getting upwards of 18 in the city..maybe more.

     

    I know I am averaging 16.5 - I just went over 8K.

  20. Oil Leaks - Engine Block Issues

    in Mods & Tech

    Posted

    This is scaring me. I'm on 10,000 miles with my 2007 Ford Edge (bought in August) and recently (right after the first oil change) started noticing puddles of oil under the car. I thought for sure that someone had parked in my driveway during the day as this COULDN'T be from my BRAND NEW car. Accompanying the puddles is a odd smell, almost oil like, definitely a chemical smell while idling after the car has been running for a bit, and also smoke rising from the engine.

     

    I'm going in for a check tomorrow (12/19). Oh boy.

     

    Whoa.

     

    Deja' vu.
