No. The dealership knows it's tuned. Being as it's been in before for the axles popping out... which there was a recall on. But I have a 3 bar so I can't run a stock tune

It's easy to swap in the 2 bar. I keep mine in the trunk incase of issues.

Is your car Performance Package equipped? Have you ever service the PTU with fresh lube?

It's not surprising, really. I'm sure your PTU just cooked its oil, like they seem to unanimously do, and with completely degradation of the oil, the bearings overheated and failed. When a case fails outright, isn't uncommon for them to essentially explode. The carnage from the PTO failure in my Speed6 was quite spectacular.

No writeup for the 2013+ yet.  The PP has cooling and temp monitoring, must have failed somewhere along there.

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!

Maybe a good weld job would work here too!

OP, I see now that you mentioned in an earlier post that your SHO is not equipped with the Performance Package.

Only the PP PTU has a temp sensor, right?

So, it is likely that there wasn't any aux cooling to save the bearings, and no sensor to trip a dummy light.

@SHOdded, there IS a write up out there for non PP cars, right?

Seems more and more like servicing the PTU is becoming an imperative maintenance item, particularly on non PP (or pre 13 PP?) equipped SHOs.

For 2010-12 non-PP, yes there is a writeup, although probably same for PP for same MYs.

Still something I am unsure about - did the pre 13 PPs have the aux cooling on the PTUs? Or is that just 13+?

Seems like it doesn't matter, a member with a 2013 PP just had his PTU fail.
