    Will 2012 Ford Edge wheels work?

    They should work, but the only way to know for sure is to put rubber on them and bolt them on.

    airbag light

    I had the same problem with my 2008 ST. It was the battery. When the voltage drops below 12.0V when you start the truck, the airbag sensor comes on and stays on. If you turn it off and restart, the light will go away.

    New Battery and Hub Bearing for Blue !

    The [b]FIRST[b/] indicator of a bad battery on my Gen 2 Trac is the airbag light coming on at start-up after sitting over night. Happened when I first bought it used with the 4 y.o. factory battery. I just had the same issue after running my battery down 3 weeks ago. Charged the...

    Pinion squeal at differential

    Good call, Todd Z, but we watched and heard it happen on the lift. The carrier bearing is silent and smooth. put it drive on the lift and followed the sound to the pinion. Watched the seal spin, too. I just had the tranny rebuilt and one of the symptoms was it slamming into reverse. I'm...

    Pinion squeal at differential

    I had a sudden squealing that started occurring in my rear end. I assumed it was a bearing until I realized that I had independent rear suspension instead of a solid rear axle. I had it investigated and the pinion seal is squealing at the differential. Anyone else have this issue? If...

    Sport Trac battery timeframe

    My experience over the years with batteries, especially with newer electronics is that when stuff starts acting wacky for no reason, get the battery replaced. You can test it to verify that something is wrong...and there always will be I fought my steering wheel radio controls for months...

    Water leak in back seat

    I had the same issue. Just order a new gasket from Ford. It's the upgraded version, is an easy replacement and doesn't require any guess work, reengineering, etc.

    Poll: Which Rubber Mats for Tracs- Ford or Weather Tech?

    Everyone I know uses WeatherTech. I'm a factory man when it comes to mats. But I'm not in and out of mud a lot. Those who use WeatherTech like the fact that it's full coverage and pretty much acts like a bowl carrying all the dirt, mud, water, snow, etc. If you like function over...

    Complete Transmission Overhaul

    Eddie, I'm not going to argue with someone who does this every day. I asked for Amsoil and he said he didn't like using it on any of the 5R55/N/S/W (5 speed) family of transmissions on a new rebuild. What follows is the Cliffs Notes of our conversation. Lemar: I'd like you to use Amsoil...

    Gas Mileage

    Keith Do you live in an area that uses 10% ethanol? When I lived in Kansas and Missouri, I would get hammered on mileage when they went to the full 10% as opposed to less than that depending on the season. I used to use K&N Air filters religiously, but although the truck breathed...

    Complete Transmission Overhaul

    bugsiegel, it wasn't sketchy at all. When I picked the truck up on Friday, he laid it all out as to what was done. I got the same warranty as any other rebuild which was 1Yr/Unlimited miles. I think it boiled down to what would be available to be taught without costs to me and that would be...

    Complete Transmission Overhaul

    I won't know which until I get it back, but my understanding is that it's Ford 'improvements' to their original design. I'm not getting anything aftermarket. No hauling, off-roading, or even spirited driving here. lol The truck is almost 7 years old and I'm only averaging 8.5K miles a year...

    Holy brake light!

    Complete Transmission Overhaul

    My 2008 Gen2 V6 Limited is currently having it's tranny completely upgraded and rebuilt. It was slamming hard into reverse, and was starting to hesitate/slow-shift 2 to 3 and 4 to 5. It only has 58K miles even though it's only 7 years old, but I figured if I was going to have to open it up for...

    Hard Transmission shifts into reverse

    Just an update, life happens and you don't get to do nearly what you plan to do. I didn't drop the pan although I have everything on hand to do so. I did perform the PCM reprogramming and there's a huge improvement in the shifting and the reverse 'clunk' doesn't happen every time. When it...
