Overall, I don't disagree with what you are saying, hence my belief to change fluids at a faster rate than OEM usually recommends. Could all be due to meeting certain EPA mileage requirements ( thinner oil = less resistance = easier turning = less fuel used ) but I don't have access to the knowledge base that designed the Disconnect RDU and why Ford states only 75W for this RDU. That's why I'll stick to the recommended 75W for the RDU until I see more, certified information on switching to a thicker gear oil. Same goes for the PDU. However I would not use straight Redline Heavyweight Shockproof ( Film thickness greater than an SAE 75W250, yet low fluid friction like 75W90 ) in the PDU as some have suggested. That stuff is designed to cling to metal and use only in splash boxes. Read multiple reports in the past of people who have used Redline Heavyweight Shockproof in their gearbox and when they took it apart, they found a thick sludge of " Smurf Blood " packed in around the gear case that had to be removed. Redline Lightweight Shockproof is a 75W80 so I would definitely consider using that in the PTU. Always worked great in my 5spd and 6spd with zero issues and smoothed out the shifting -

Well, the Japanese do things differently than we do in the US. 🫠 -
As noted above in the quote, the instructions for the 22ST transmission on step 18 have you adding a liter / 2pt. after the leveling plug is installed back. Is this correct then? Can someone please clarify this.

On RDU failure. It looks like the pinion bearings are failing due to fluid break-down due to excessive heat. It is tough to figure out if they do light weight fluids for EPA crap. Bearing clearance on rotating parts has not changed. Clutch pack clearances are the same. Hence, the tighter clearances B.S. that is fed to us, is not a starter nor valid! Before the recent push to maximize fuel economy, lower emissions especially CO2, a heavier weight differential fluid ie. 75-140 etc. was called for for heavy duty service or towing. Remember, Domestic manufactures sell new vehicles. The faster your new pride and joy wears out, the faster the bastards can sell you a new one. r

I can't connect at work but did hear somewhere that the Android version is no longer available - there might be other sites with copies. forscan.org https://forscan.org/home.html FORScan/FORScan LITE Class and Q&A - Page 8 - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums FORScan Lite Android Google Play Version - Error - General Ford Related Discussions - Ford Owners Club - Ford Forums . -
You can get it directly from ForScan's site. The "Independent edition".

Unfortunately no longer available. Not on Android.

My Google search results advise against changing viscosity - I would not experiment with it.

I have thought about switching from ULV to LV, but I haven’t found enough solid research or firsthand experiences to know for sure whether it’s a good or bad move. In theory it would make things better? They are both low viscosity types, but ULV is designed to meet tighter tolerances and specific OEM requirements. Is it only for better fuel economy or is there something else at play? Without more data and real world feedback, I’m hesitant to make the switch and risk long term issues. -
I believe that he was referring to an eBay listing for the liftgate lock assembly. There's plenty of Chinese garbage offered, I'd recommend OEM. Here one possible part you could consider: https://ebay.us/m/1QJGBD
