How to fix a failing Ford PTU for good
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 янв 2022
- If you’re driving a Ford equipped with AWD, you may have experienced grinding, clunking, or chattering coming from undercar. Often, the source of those noises is a failed power transfer unit. Replacing the failed unit with another that’s not serviceable instantly puts an expiration date on the new part-the clock is ticking until the next replacement. End the cycle of endless replacements!

Don't fall for what this guy claims folks. We installed one of these ptu's at our shop because it was half the cost of a oem and a oem was a few days out.
Where do I start with the problems we had.. first the ptu would not fit because the case was physically at least a 1/4 inch thicker all the way around, cool right? No not cool had to grind a couple spots of the case down to even get it to fit onto the transmission without contacting the engine. Sweet all done with a slight modification. Go to install the lower bolt of the ptu and that wont fit because the case is so thick it is overlapping the bolt hole... get all done go for a test drive and come back to transmission fluid leaking everywhere out of the right axle shaft seal.
Okay now wtf..did we cut the seal installing the shaft? No, further diag uncovered that the seal in the ptu from the factory was installed backwards..... okay fine we will install a new oem seal. Drive it again and now we are leaking gear lube everywhere. Okay now wtf... apparently the gear lube was leaking from the vent of the ptu that had no baffle to stop fluid from slinging out.
At the end of the day Dorman reimbursed us and also paid us to install a oem ptu. For every solution Dorman has a problem.
Oh and our parts stores pulled these units off the self and Dorman did too due to many problems.
Good job Dorman. test your products next time.
Agreed, in the last 12 weeks I’ve had to change out the ptu in a 14 ford edge sport 3.7 AWD twice. Found out pass. side output shaft seal (on the ptu) was backwards. Cost us a lot of time & money…so frustrating.
Guys you should sticky a comment saying this is NOT FOR TWIN TURBO ECOBOOST ENGINES! This is only rated for the non-turbo engines. UNLESS you actually made one that can handle a twin turbo. When I was researching this 2 years ago, you advised that it's not for the turbo cars, if I put this unit on it that it will likely fail and that you didn't have a model made to handle the turbo charged engines. If that's changed, you might also want to make that clear to your customers.
I wanted to like this PTU but can buy Dorman Products anymore. I had one of these put in my 2015 Explorer by a shop, followed the break in procedure and it was leaking within 400 miles from the seal where the driveshaft mounts. I got a second one and it failed the exact same way. Doorman swapped out the first and after the second failure they said to go back with a ford unit. I got a new ford unit and it is working fine. Oriellys sent both back to Dorman on the same ticket and Dorman only gave me $400 to cover $1600 for labor on the two Dorman failures. Labor was high due to using a very good shop. Precision Transmission (They have tons of videos on RUclips) As much as this looks like a smart choice I can’t recommend it.
DO you have a turbo charged engine?
@@jontnoneya3404No, just the 3.5 NA. 2015 AWD. It had 118k when original failed, I did the oil siphon and refill on the original and then noticed the leak so it probably went low and had no lube on the seal. Once I did the fluid change the fresh was leaking out
FORD SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUED FOR LIEING ABOUT THE OIL AND THEN MADE COMPLETE PAID RECALL.
sue for all Ford autos from the water pump to electric steering going out, no recall democrat said not enough people getting hurt. = WHAT does it take DEATH
I Agree the downfall of all these 3.7 3.5 AWD cars are the PTU and water pumps I’m suprised there isn’t a recall or class action law suit
I agree, but when automakers say lifetime fluid they actually mean is the life of that part Trans, PTU, RDU etc
What about all the Chevy and dodges that eat camshafts and lifters? At least the ptu is a simple fix that anyone that can turn a wrench can do themselves. Second if you would have changed your fluid and maintained it then it wont go bad. I've got 160k on mine and works great. But then again I'm smart enough to know if it has oil in it then it needs changed. But some people have no common sense.. just look at who they vote for! It's said that 99.9% of ALL Joe Biden voters cannot work on or repair their own vehicles they just expect the government to pay for it or better yet a large company like Ford.
100%!!! It just cost me 10 grand because it took out my transmission with it!!
Holy hell a drain plug! How Ford didn’t think of this is beyond me…lifetime fluid my butt!
They say lifetime so it'll fail and you have to shell out 2 grand. They do it because they can and we the owners are stuck with dumb designs like this.
Lifetime fluid= ford fu*ked up
The interceptor models came with a drain plug but this is still an upgrade with the better aluminum heat sink
Toyota products have a drain plug on PTU & rear differential. I have a Ford Edge & I have probably spent $10k on repairs due to design flaws. I think Ford just doesn’t care people will still buy their product.
Lifetime fluid means it lasts as long as the unit does, whether it dies within 30 miles or 300K miles. You can hold your breath for a lifetime.
HOLY HELL, IT'S LEMMY! Always wondered where you went. Good to see you back on the Tube.
Good to see lemmy again I’m used to seeing his vidz on revzilla
Just found this video !!! All I have to say is what took so long to come out with this part. Glad you have tho !!! Might and go out and buy another AWD edge.
Please don’t forget about us…
2019 Explorer Sport
3.5 Ecoboost
Great Job, Lemmy!
Thanks!
I do very much appreciate the response I received below, but see that the PTU featured in this video is model 600-234XD, and is apparently only for 2015 and earlier Fords. My two cars ('16 Taurus and '18 Explorer) are being shown to use what looks like a factory unit PN 600-239. I am unaware of any across-the-board changes Ford made to the PTU in 2016 that would prevent the 234XD from being used in 201 +.
I would just like a better explanation, if possible, because I did already have to have the PTU in the Explorer replaced, so obviously there was no magic cure in 2016.
Hi Scott, we followed Ford's OE fitment as to what part number fits what applications. They had many changes such as gearing changes and the splined shaft changed, just to name a few. Hope that helps!
What's your warranty? What is your new seal material? How have you addressed your early seal failures as described in the comments? Do you use new Ford internal parts and case?
Thank you! I am thinking of purchasing a 2018 MKZ AWD and it is nice to know there is another option.
Hi Parmela, so glad we could help!
The OEM unit is most definitely serviceable, albeit not as easy with a drain plug. But dealers and local mechanics most definitely service it.
Depends on where you go, dealers near me won’t touch it
I just drill a hole in the bottom of them and tap for a npt plug.
FordTechMakuloco has a few videos on these. Easy to do if you buy a vacuum extractor. He also shows how to install a drain plug.
Ha!!! Dealer service, lol. Have you been to a ford dealer lately. They just want to sell you a new overpriced vehicle. I can buy a better Honda or Toyota for the price of a Ford.
I have a 2018 Escape and the PTU has a drain plug so the fluid can be changed. In fact I just did it this afternoon along with transmission fluid service. The PTU is difficult to get the fluid in but it doesn’t use much.
We service these on our interceptors with 3.7 though drain plug using vacuum method and filling pump with 75w140 and never lost one we do it every 12k.
Every 12k?! Isn't that overkill? Most places now say 30k. Or is this for PD patrol cars that are speeding all the time?
Just had major issues with drive train. Dealership is telling me new tranny and PTU are necessary. Funny thing is when I told them I smelled Natural Gas and was concerned about the PTU (about 2 months before it failed) they dismissed it as if it was unimportant. Dragged the car to a transmission shop - waiting on their evaluation now. But this vid helps and I'm going to ask them about this part specifically. Thanks!!
Hi Jont, so glad we could propose a solution to your PTU problem.

@@jontnoneya3404 what was your problem? shop told me my 2014 MKS has “transmission fluid everywhere” but i think it’s the PTU
Hi , thank you for the explaination .. i have a question please : do you guys manufacture this PTU from scratch and make it similar to Ford PTU with the changes you highlighted in the vedio ?
Or you just make the changes on the brand new Frod PTU and sell it ?
Great question! The PTU is new construction of our design!
I'm looking at a used Lincoln MKT which has the same PTU. I was thinking of adding a diff cooler like off roaders use.
Hello. I have a 2017 Flex limited AWD with the Ecoboost Turbo 3.5 and factory tow package. What version of you product would I need? My PTU is going out and I need a fix fast.
Hi John, Part # 600-238 should be what you are looking for.
Called Dorman about this, Parts and then tech services could NOT FIND ANY FOR FORD ESCAPES
Hello, could you please tell us what year Ford Escape you have so I can make a note to our product team for a new product idea.
Could you please specify the correct part # for the 2014 explorer sport with 3.5 eco boost?
I am confused with so many variants. Thank you.
Hello! Unfortunately, we do not offer one at this time. The only one we do offer at this time is for the non-ecoboost models. I apologize for the inconvenience. I will let our product team know of your new product idea. Thank you!
I have a 2017 Fusion Sport 2.7L TT. It only came with AWD. When I first heard of lubrication possible issues, I checked it out. My PTU DOES have a full plug and a drain plug and it also has an oil cooler albeit a small one. I drained the OE fluid which, at approx 10,000 mi. had started to turn very dark but far from the thick black goo I'd seen in so many videos or pictures. I have incorporated a drain/fill along with the engine oil for the last 3 services (5000 mi intervals) and each drain shows relatively clean fluid and equally importantly, NO axle seal leaks. I strongly recommend changing the PTU fluid on a regular schedule of at LEAST 10000 mi. Use a high quality full synthetic; I prefer Amsoil. Note: this car is not stock and now puts out approx 380hp and 420lbft of torque due some mods I have made e.g. tune, larger intercooler, larger throttle body, low restriction air intake, etc
Your video was so helpful I went ahead and bit the bullet! Difference between what Ford offered and your Dorman wasn't much. I had my local mechanic install a Dorman on my 2013 Ford Edge. I paid $3000 for the entire repair which from all the calls I made was around average. I noticed the old PTU smell right away after the work and thought it was the old PTU fluid burning off? Or so I thought. So it's been a couple weeks and while changing my oil, I also wanted to see my new Dorman but noticed it was leaking fresh fluid. The fluid was dripping off, translucent and amber color. The old fluid was black sludge. I checked my trans fluid and it's topped off and good color. Off the top of your head, what do you think about this? I'm taking it back Monday and just wanted your opinion or insight before I get there. I hope it's just a lose bolt or something. Thanks for any help.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. When you took it back, did they notice where the fluid was coming from or the cause of the leak.
Thanks for getting back to me, I could see the passenger side seal, and trans connection weren't leaking. It was coming from the vent and it's too hard to over-fill given the location of the fill hole. So I think it was my fault. I got sick (COVID) and couldn't take it back this past Monday but while watching videos I came across the Importance of good tire wear and how it relates to a PTU. The gear stress of uneven treadwear and how it can cause the PTU gears to turn at different speeds, builds up friction/heat for longer than the PTU was designed for. I had only 2 tires replaced in the past and also didn't keep up with the rotation the way I should. I don't know the diameters between tire diameters but I can plainly see the difference in the wear. Now that I understand this point, I realize it was my fault. Luckily my PTU is very new. I will add more fluid then take it up to get 4 new tires and also get a 4 wheel alignment. I feel like this will solve the leak. If you don't hear back from me then that is what happened.
Nice fix !!
Thanks 👍
How to buy it in Saudi Arabia?
This is what I like company's that Don just make the same crap they find the issues and make it better
Do you have a model that will fit a 2013 taurus interceptor? Any difference besides the temp sensor in the police models?
Hey Dustin, you can get detailed fitment data on our website as well as see other PTO replacements. If you have more specific questions, you can reach out to our Tech Support team during the week. The number is 866-933-2911, and you can also send us a message here: www.dormanproducts.com/pages/forms/support.aspx
Yes, the police models have a coolant line running to them.
Great video explanation! What is the approximate cost for this type of repair in 2022?
Hello, Thank you for your kind words! To answer your question, Unfortunately we can't price a job or even approximate a cost, as labor rates change in different areas and at different shops.
I've seen this Dorman box available below $700 at certain web retailers. Figure 6 hours for a mechanic if you can't do it yourself (it's a handful to be sure), so I'd guess about $1200 - $1500.
@ohger1 an honest shop would quote that price. I've seen another You tube mechanic quote that price as what he charges for the work
Any chance y'all are working on upgraded units for the 2014+ Jeep Cherokee PTU's and RDUs?

Bought a new ptu for a 2010 Lincoln mkx right off the passenger side seal failed, had to replace it now 1 year later the rear pinion seal is failing. The lifetime warranty will require me to buy a new ptu pay for removal of the old and installation of the new one. Then pay for shipment back of the old one and then it up to them if they would cover the failed ptu.

When clicked, you will be prompted to put in your zip code. After, it will list all the auto parts stores in your area that will carry that part and they will be able to offer pricing on parts.
Just drill and tap a drain hole in your existing unit and change the fluid before it’s too late
That's what I did. Scary since I never did something like that before, but actually not too bad. I had to use a ratchet instead of a tap wrench for creating the threads though because the exhausts got in the way of the tap wrench when rotating. Then I put in a 1/4 inch NPT plug with some permatex thread sealant and all is well. Only had to do this on the rear diff though.

Lemmy, what the world. I thought you were with RevZilla? What is this alternate universe I am living in?
I heard a mechanic say that the PTU's (PTO's) also fail because some owners replace only two tires at the time, and that unevenly worn tires cause accelerated wear on the internals of the unit. Until now, I only heard that was a problem with some Jeep transffer case/transmissions, but never Ford. Is it true, or just a myth?
Hello! Great question! Yes, it is a good practice on AWD vehicles to replace all 4 at same time to prevent uneven wear from affecting driveline components such as ptu/pto.
PTO has nothing to do with this power take off is used for powering other equipment
I want to buy one where can I buy one and can it handle more torque???? And if so how much more???
Hey Joseph, these are steadily being distributed further, so definitely look for it anywhere you buy parts online or in-store. If helpful, you can use the Where To Buy functionality on our site to see if any stores near you have it in inventory: www.dormanproducts.com/p-137278-600-234xd.aspx. As far as specs, this isn't a performance part, so it matches OE specifications in regards to torque and horsepower.
Is there a parts number? I can only find the oem style right now and I'm looking for the redesign
Yeah I'm going to need to go ahead and order me that because I think I'm going to kick this Ford explorer that I got and I know when it feels I want to have to go through this number so if you can leave me a link to the website where I can what I want thank you and have a great day

For this to happen to just me, with this unit, that is one thing ,but for it to happen to more then me with the same PTU XD from Dorman with the same problem is another. And this is not right. I'm not being paid to test out Dorman Products. But I'm doing it and it is costing me big time.

Wanted to let you know there are three more guys on my EDGE forums that have this unit still in the box, scared to install this unit.
Hi Hugh, our team has resolved multiple issues on this part and our inventory is good to go. Please work through where you purchased to warranty your part. Thank you again!
@@DormanProducts what was the issue with your part and how have you updated? I am looking to buy the awd version but will not invest unless this part is proper. Thank you
not for turbocharged SHO
Is this the dude from RevZilla?
I just looked over there, and man, other than the hair, that guy does look similar.
Ha ha ha, I was thinking the same thing. Joe biden & his Inflation got lemme working 2 jobs
Ford maverick needs that. They failing alot
I will let the product team know of your new product idea. Thank you!
How much? How to order?
TAKE MY MONEY!!!!
risky upgrade indeed
how can I "love" this video? OMG - the Ford part is horrible and they should all be recalled and replaced! Mine has one of their "upgraded" versions that has a drain plug in the bottom, but the drain plug is a soft aluminum that is somewhere between 1/4" and 7mm allen and whoever accessed it last must have put permanent loctite on it because all it does is tear up, even with damaged bolt removers
We gotta sue Ford!
SHO owners beware, this upgraded PTU does not fit the turbo-charged SHO!!!
Hello, that's correct this part is only listed for the naturally aspirated engine option, not the SHO package.
They don't want it serviceable because you replace it
So if they told you the engine wasn’t serviceable you’d just replace that too?
