I am sure they have made incremental changes and improvements, but it seems the basic design remains unaltered.  I do believe they have been using Haldex all along, tho the relevancy of that is undetermined.
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Kinda wondering if the racing contributed/caused this.

Uh, this post was sarcasm right?? You have how many dragstrip launches on a drivetrain making 35% more torque than stock?? There's no free lunch, racing stresses componants, componants fail when they are over their design limits OR are repetatively taken to the limit. Why ya think Mike (4drHtRd) dumped his much stressed project car...

Sorry, I cant type sarcasm. But yes. Yes I completely understand I have to pay to play. And as soon as I get back from Vegas, I will be doing the same thing.

No matter the cause, I truly think keeping the fluid fresh would have prevented or prolonged it.

Still can't fathom the sparse fluid capacity though. Makes no sense.

Yes, totally agree with this.

I had my PTU fluid changed at 25K and I would NEVER go more then 30K without changing it. The more I see the more I think the stress on the PTU is stressing the grease and it needs to be changed on a regular basis, much more then recommended.

I swap my PTU fluid twice a year.

Regardless of miles accrued.

Once in Spring. Once in Fall.

I'm actually seriously contemplating drilling / tapping the housing, to install my own drain hole to make performing this service, a lil less of a headache.

bpd... when you service it at the intervals you use is the oil liquid enough to evacuate?... The ones Pictured here that failed looked like they were full of tar.  Do you pump the fluid out? ... and does it still flow and look like oil?

Never like oil, but not anywhere near the paste like sludge pictured in this thread.

Suck it out with a pump & the viscosity appears like ummm..... what comes to mind..... like ketchup perhaps?

On the verge of turning thick, but certainly some degree of fluidity left in it.

Not sure if that makes sense? :dunno:

Haha! Wow. Ketchup.

What are you filling back into it?
I feel like there's some room for improvement, possibly with just upgrading gear oil.
Perhaps one that is better suited or tolerated for excessive heat and heat cycles...

It looks like this will be next on my list. I may have to visit BITOG to see which available oils are most heat resistant.
