PTU aux cooler

[SHOdded]

A discussion started by metroplex has been moved to its' own topic since it became a PCM/tuning-related topic rather than PTU.

There are part numbers and a pic of the PP PTU in the original post, if you want to take a look at the linked thread.

Thanks for the move. Just as a follow-up, I was able to drive the car up on ramps and slowly crawl underneath (still recovering from surgery). No go on the PTU cooler as everyone suspected. There's not even a bladder or drain plug, just slab sided like the normal PTUs. The car is a 2014 SHO, non-PP assembled DEC 2013. Either the Ford parts catalog is wrong, or the person that took the photo of the DG1Z-7251-D PTU got the wrong part, more likely the parts catalog wasn't too clear.

Yeah, the parts catalogs are built primarily for the benefit of service shops, not the end user.  Even then, service shops and parts counters can and do get it wrong quite frequently if they haven't ordered that specific part before!  Just adds to the amount of time you have to wait to get your car back from the shop

FWIW, I read the Motor Trend article, and it said the PTU cooler reduces the temp by 75F.

So is the consensus that the only way to add the cooler on a non-pp vehicle is to swap PTUs?  I am not against this, however, if I go this route I would also want the PTU hardened and built up to be stronger than stock.  As far as I know, this is not an option yet.

MDesign had proposed an aftermarket cooling solution for the PTU, but not much interest was apparent, so the project did not take off.  You can ask him directly?
