crazyhorse, it seems like there is always something different or inconsistent about the PTU units over the years. Possibly some mid-production changes. Adding liquid cooling, high torque PTU units on the ST, different vendors etc. might be some of the changes that cause so much "PTU confusion". My PTU on my 2024 ST has a cooler and no drain plug. All I can tell you is that if your PTU has a drain plug, you are one of the lucky ones. I have to remove the nuts retaining the cooler and pop the cooler out about 1/2 inch to drain my PTU. Yours should be easy.

fh4ever, when I realized that something wasn't right, I went to a local Ford dealership. Apparently, they discontinued it on the 2021. He had one in stock which I was amazed. I bought it and it came with all the retaining clips. I actually installed in the parking lot at the dealership. Took all of 5 minutes! Looks so much better. I too felt that along with better sound absorption it would protect hood paint from heat. Sad that Ford would discontinue standard parts before they continued production of the vehicle. Shame on Ford.😒

My 2021 ST did not come with an engine cover or a hood insulator blanket. Looked kind of funny with both of them missing. I did not buy the engine cover but I did buy the hood insulator blanket and installed it myself. It came with the attachment clips and looks so much better. Not sure how much it helps with noise. Never followed up on the engine cover but it does look like a cover from an earlier year will work

The shuddering should definitely not be there. I know that Ford has had a lot of issues with the transmission control module on the Edge ST and even offers out of warranty coverage. Mabey applies to the 2.0 as well.

Mine calls for 75-85. Also I noticed the PTU on the ST is called a high torque PTUSpecifications - Power Transfer Unit - 2.7L EcoBoost - 2022-2024 Edge.pdfSpecifications - Power Transfer Unit - 2.7L EcoBoost - 2022-2024 Edge.pdfSpecifications - Power Transfer Unit - 2.7L EcoBoost - 2022-2024 Edge.pdf, although they look the same.

Samurai Edge, intelligent people do not need to use social media. That is a given I too have avoided the social media monster that eventually consumes so many people lives. We are probably missing out on some valuable and helpful information. But at a cost for sure. As I make this post on this social media website. I realize to some degree, I have been consumed by the lonely, biassed, sad social media monster.

Can't beat OEM. 90 percent of the aftermarket crap is now built in China.

I am getting ready to change my PTU and RDU fluid at 15K. Using Redline for both. My PTU does have the cooler, but looks pretty straight forward. I hope!

I am not sure, but I am guessing the B&O in my 24 ST is the same? Reading up it is a 12-speaker system, including a front center speaker, 2 rear surround speakers (in the ceiling) and a subwoofer in the back. I have it set in 'surround' mode, which makes such a big difference! I listen to music all the time and it seems to be an amazing system.

I have heard nothing but good about Redline. Normally I stick with the manufacturer's product. I am going to do my PTU/RDU fluid changes at 15K on my 2024 ST. PTU Redline full synthetic 75W85 GL-5 gear oil RDU Redline full synthetic MT-LV 70W/75W GL-4 gear oil. Fords PTU/RDU are ticking timebombs, unless you stay up the fluid changes. Seems like frequency is the key.

It is the exhaust resonator. Same thing happened to me on my 2021 ST about 11K. Warranty knows this is an issue. I doubt there are any TSBs as Ford probably wishes this is another nightmare they don't need.

Do not do anything aftermarket. Order the replacement tweeter from a ford dealer.

The felt pad under the clip has been working good for me.

My 2024 has rain sensing wipers. To be honest I don't really notice much of a difference. I actually went back to using the Wiper Delay and adjust as needed.
