What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

Yeah a good sidewall makes all the difference  in the world for a land yacht.

What psi are you running them at currently?

well, I went over 60k miles

So I decided to change out the RDU fluid. It was kind of a PITA, the IRS cradle is in the way of everything. Lots of arm contortion and sweat it took to get-r-dun. The way the fluid looks it probably wasn't necessary, but with fresh Amsoil in there I'm confident it'll last the rest of the life of the car.

Good to do it anyways! I did my PTU around 50 or 60, looked great but now I know I do t have to worry about it.

i wish my PTU fluid looked as good as the RDU. I've done it 3 times in the PTU and it has always been really black. Since i'm out of warranty now, I'll drill and tap a drain plug and make it simple to swap the fluid.

I removed the RX CSS and Installed the new CFM Performance Billet valve breather in Gloss Black which seems to be a quality piece.
It does have an internal Baffle to relieve any unwanted crankcase pressure to exit.  Z

$79.95

Won't that leave a mess on your engine over time?  Even with a filter on there, I would want to keep an eye on that, seeing how spotless you like your vehicles.

Thanks Manu! I will certainly keep an eye on it,but they claim it has a breather,as it features an internal baffle to keep the oil away from the filter element. Z

Well yesterday I changed the ptu fluid and replaced it with Lucas 75w-140. Put fresh amsoil 5w-30 in the motor and put on my new stainless works downpipes. Only took 1 picture for some odd reason. Bad news is I or the previous owner put a hurting on the front turbo.

I did the same with Severe Gear at 100k. Original Fluid still looked fresh out the bottle. Drilled n tapped a plug in the case to garentee I would never have to go through that again. Lol

Not nearly as bad as highcalibers, it was a 90 pound deer instead of a 5,000 pound suv.

. Man, I hate to see a hurt sho. That deer did just enough damage to be expensive. A bulls gotta eat . Jeeps however are tougher to chew.
