I had my PTU fluid changed Friday at 60k miles. The shop used the BG service products. They had to flush it twice to get the gunk out. The gear oil was black/grey and had black clumps in it. The guys at the shop said they had never seen gear oil look so bad. The magnetic plug had about 3/4" of material stuck to it.
Was the first Ford PTU they had changed the fluid in. Said they would definitely recommend to it their Ford AWD customers.
Mark... What magnetic plug are you referencing?... On the PTU? Did you install a drain?
On the non cooled (mine) one, it's the only plug there. Also had a large clump on mine.

Thanks Rich... I'm getting ready to do the PTU (after I'm walking) since I'm at about 24k miles.  I'm nonPP too... Gonna have to scope it out for that plug... Sounds easier than using the vent.

One of the reasons for sure. It's a sight to see the first time. You just don't expect to ever see a glob like that stuck to the plug...
