Actually the PTU was talking to you & you weren't listening. After just listening to your "schpeel" speak on economics I wonder was that BS or do you not understand "First Principle Diagnostics". The PTU didn't fail. A weaker link went first. The new PTU is now another (next) weak link in the chain (of power train). It is a very easy, standard mechanical procedure to remove the pinion gear with the gnarly bearing & replace the bearing with a higher grade quality replacement, than was stock. Your car is now beyond the design factor it was engineered & built to. As for the worn case. Your new case can fail the the same way but a catastrophic failure is now possible. You obviously know the mechanism of injury. So what is the remedy? I would suggest a steel or hardened flange/cup be fit into the machined case that will accommodate a proper thrust bearing / washer arrangement. Your axial load factors are now far beyond the originally as designed stock PTU. This guys is what "Hot Rodding" was born from. Innovation & creativity. It isn't as complicated as rocket science. But it is basic Mechanical Engineering... Otherwise you are just replacing parts, repeating history & not improving. NB; As for drain plug... I think you could use 2 of the PTU cover bolts to be your drain & fill port.
The wife had a 2013 SHO with PP. We had the fluid changed every 50,000 miles. It never failed. However, at 155,000 miles, the water pump started to go. Caught it before gasket failed. Spent $2200.00 to have the water pump and timing set replaced. All was great until a week later one of the turbos went. It mysteriously caught fire the next night. Good thing I parked it out on the street that night.
I thought the biggest downfall was the waterpump lol
I'm just down the road towards kingdom city. Currently stock sho
If you keep breaking them under 2 years then unlimited ptus.
What year SHO?
Didn't you have well over 100k miles on that thing tho..?
my PTU finally went at 175k
I don't see too big a problem. I am sure you can pick up a casing at a junk yard or discount auto store. It is not the part that failed. It was hot rodding it. You want to do that. You need a heavy duty part.
Are these reliable with fbo and 93 octane ?
So glad I found this channel. I have a 2013 SHO, white. I call it SHOby Dick, since its a big white whale. Just this past Monday had my PTU replaced at the fine folks at Chopper automotive in Millville NJ. Mine was grinding horribly in a matter of miles. Anyway, it's nice to see it disassembled and re installed.
Sick asfffff bro I just ordered a xdi 30 thru Brad your vids make me excited
can’t wait to see this thing running again!
Flex tray will fit with the downpipes, on their old version you had to trim some of the heat shielding, new ones you may not have to since they fit tighter.
Nice video! Hope the cooler works out for ya
So wait. It had issues with the inside of the case? The bearing surfaces on the PTU are bad?
Question is there a Aftermarket PTU or Custom one Available on the Market
What about the PTU from a interceptor sho?
Love your videos brotha
I still want your Gearhead performance intercooler if you decide to go a "custom" setup & sell it.
