I one time dropped a 10mm socket which fell inside the belly pan cover in the cold weather......
The next day while driving heard a loud bang right smack in the middle of the carriage on the highway.
BTW lost my precious socket. Z

I hate 10mm sockets... always the bane of my existence! I fairly sure I have purchased a boat load of those over the years. Still bitter about loosing my deep wall craftsman 10mm back when they were still made in the USA...

SHOdded I suspect the weight fell off while driving and got shot up hitting the exhaust or something... that's my guess... hopefully I will find out today...

The vibration/humming is my lesser concern.. that's usually an easy fix... lord knows I have dealt with that at some point on all my cars...

The squeaking is more an issue when the drive train moves during sudden acceleration or shifting. That needs to be addressed as it almost sounds like a mount is loose.

Let's see what they find.  Should be easy to localize with some Chassis EARS or similar device.
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I'm sorry for your loss. It's always the 8 and 10mm that want to rebel.

Those 8 and 10's are what keep the companies that make extension magnets in business!

So, now that I have both arms again.  (Arm is healing great by the way, but getting old sucks!)  So, over the last week or so:

- Fresh oil change, including emptying catch can (not a lot in there btw)
- installed 3 Bar
- Installed thermostat
- installed Gearhead tune
- Installed M Design CAI
- Installed AFE Silver Bullet intake spacer (figured why not give it a shot)
- Did the BOV to atmosphere mod

This weekend will be plugs and MSD coils that have been sitting here.

Plans for the future include:  install the Magnaflow cat-back which is sitting in my office, noise maker removal and do an intercooler cleaning.

Next purchases will be PPE downpipes and hot pipes.

So far very happy with results.  Its just fun to be that comfortable and that quick at the same time.

LMAO...yes I know.  I joke about those with my sisters because I tend to drink Coors Light.  When they say "How can you drink that much Coors Light?!"  I reply "Hey, you guys have your "silver bullet" and I have mine!".

BTW, I know EVERYONE says...CAI "doesn't do much" and the throttle body spacer "doesn't add much".  Now that I have both...I feel like I've gone from "damn my car is fast" to "s***...I'm a little scared".  Yes, I've done other things listed but, I always drove after each.
That little bit of "s***" is why I liked the car when I got it.  Got used to it.  Then I got a tune...got it again.  Got used to it.  Now I've done these changes listed and I'm "SHIIIIIIT".  I actually haven't floored it for any extended run yet.  I'll let you know.

Service adviser just called to let me know they have done a full shake down of the front end and are unable to find the squeaking and are waiting for a senior technician to perform a mechanical ears test on it while they are driving. They are thinking its coming from inside the transmission. Wonderful...

Told you you needed to tune and flog it like a rental, tell it who's boss and it won't talk back to you in the future..

j/k - I hope they find it is something less significant and gets fixed asap.

Keeping my fingers crossed...  at least it's not a daily... in just hope they are not beating the crap out of it... although I'm sure they are.

Makes you want to install a concealed logger, or not concealed dashcam that records anytime the car is on.

Just got an update... the senior tech firmly believes the issue is the half shaft..  they are doing a hotline into Ford to validate a few things as that's per Fords recommended guidelines for newer cars.

Senior tech apparently didn't even need to use the mechanical ears... got the car up to speed and immediately told the other technician the car needs a half shaft...

Apparently there is also a TSB that effects the 2016 SHO concerning half shaft issues... I knew it effected previous MY.. though I figured it would be resolved by then..

Finding out more tomorrow.
