I love the P Zeros on my Edge. I live in warmer weather so cold is not much of an issue. I plan on going with Scorpion Zeros when I have to replace them.

Spectre, could you please provide more pictures. Would love to replace my 265 P Zeros with 295 when the time comes.

I don't think you can go wrong with Valvoline. Seems like you are making a good choice. With regards to the change from 75w140 to 75w85 for the PTU- It could be just like the motor oil, for better fuel economy. And better flow for improved cooling and performance.

I went on the Amsoil website and found the 75w85 for the PTU, but did not find the 75w specifically to the RDU. Does Amsoil have a compatible RDU fluid? Redline offers a full synthetic 75w for the RDU.

Davidoo, thank you for locating that thread. I actually made a couple of post and ended up putting one of those felt pads underneath the clip. fishx65 suggested it in a post and I did the same thing. I will keep everyone posted. I noticed in your last post on that thread you stated that the noise had come back on your 22 ST and it wasn't the bar? Do you have any updates on your situation regarding this? Thanks

I'm not sure when this all started but my 2021 edge ST had a liquid cooled PTU. I also saw a thread where some PTU's had an electric fan attached to the PTU. Have you climbed under and inspected your PTU? I guessing your year is before they started addressing the PTU heat issues, but maybe worth a check. I think the best defense with Ford's PTU is a fluid change every 20-30K.

Not to get off track (no pun intended) but I have a 2024 ST with about 9000 miles. About 2 months ago I noticed a metallic popping/tapping/snapping sound coming from the right rear corner of the moonroof area. Right side rear corner. Doesn't matter if the shade or the moonroof is open or closed. It happens on bumpy roads and it is not there when it is cold out. It seems as the sun warms the top of the car, this noise becomes more noticeable. Thanks for any suggestions. And yes, turning the stereo up is a solution!

If you have the liquid cooled ptu you can remove the nuts and pry the cooler way from the ptu about 1/2 inch and drain the fluid. If you have the non-cooled ptu you could remove the cap where the cooler would be.

I agree. When it comes to parts you can't go wrong with OEM. It's a no brainer. But when it comes to lubricants, in many cases there are better options. And there are some good ones: Amsoil, Red Line and Motul are by far the best. The key is Full Synthetic. I plan on going with Red Line for my PTU/RDU. Any suggestions from you guys on the transmission fluid? That's the one I haven't done any research on.

My 2024 has the cooler as well. There was a previous thread where someone pulled the cooler out just enough to let the fluid drain out and put it back in using the same studs and o ring. One disadvantage to the cooler: it takes up more space in the ptu, reducing fluid capacity. Not sure how beneficial circulation 200 degree (plus) through the cooler could do much to help.

You lift out the tray.

I too am looking for a good alternative, I have the performance brake and tire package which came with the 21" P Zeros. The ST front suspension stiffness in increased by 10% and the rear suspension in increased by about 20%. They also use a monotube shock instead of a twin tube. And they use a solid tube sway bar instead of a hollow tube. I know the ST wasn't designed to be as comfortable as the base edge, so it is going to ride differently.

Yes. My 2021 had it. Sounds like it's coming from the speakers. Mainly the driver's side/forward area. I too complained about it with no answer or resolution. I traded in for a 2024 last year and it too has it but seems to be less aggressive. I went to the Ford ST SUV experience in Park City Utah last year and had a change to drive a 2019 ST for the day. I also noticed the sound, but it seemed to be much less than my 2021/2024 so I assumed it was normal. Very irritating and seems most noticeable when the car downshifts from 3rd-2nd-1st. My solution was to turn up the music. Jim

OK this is a good thread for me to ask a question. In the event that I wanted to buy a diagnostic code reader for download to my iPhone, which one is best for me. I have a 2024 Edge ST. I don't mind paying for it as the free stuff is usually very basic. Bottom line, what diagnostic program would you guys recommend for my vehicle. Free or not, I would love to have it on my phone. I also would need a Bluetooth adaptor. Thanks for the advice. Jim

Davidoo I have a 24 ST and mine does have the cooler with the hoses and electric motor that circulates the engine coolant through the PTU. My 21 ST had the same configuration. When you shut the vehicle off this electric motor continues to run and circulate coolant through the PTU to possibly help with heat soak. I climbed under the car after I shut It off and heard the electric motor running. I don't know how long it runs. Personally, I wouldn't worry about the studs. Ford wants to make as money as possible so of course they want them changed. They could probably be re used multiple times without any issue. Be sure to use blue Loctite and torque them to spec. What I can't figure out is why your vehicle does not have the cooler. Also, I don't know how much the cooler helps as it takes circulates hot 200-degree coolant through the PTU. How hot does the PTU fluid get? I think Ford attempted to do some last model year fixes to help the heat issues they had with the PTU? Just unsure why your model year did not have this mod. One good thing, your setup allows to drain the PTU fluid easily,
