Dorman – Power Transfer Unit Assembly (OE Fix) (Part No.600-234XD)

Power Transfer Unit Assembly (OE Fix)

from

$1499.99
The factory power take off unit (PTU) on certain Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles often fails when extreme temperatures overheat the internal lubricant. The heat can cause catastrophic damage so severe that it becomes nearly impossible to salvage and rebuild the PTU assembly. In extreme cold conditions, the factory seals can fail and cause oil to leak from the unit. Common symptoms of these problems can include a metallic rattling sound and/or an unusual, natural gas-like scent from beneath the vehicle. This patented, 100-percent newly manufactured Dorman OE FIX PTU has been redesigned for greater resilience during thermal extremes, and features an added heatshield to reduce internal temperatures as well as a drain plug to allow easy replacement of the gearbox lubricant. Upgraded seals also help prevent premature degradation in extreme cold temperatures, providing an all-around more reliable replacement. For vehicle owners, that means a more permanent replacement. For fleet managers, it can help decrease maintenance costs and vehicle downtime.

Product Features:
  • Upgraded design – this patented, 100-percent newly manufactured PTU is engineered and tested to increase durability compared to the factory part on certain Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles
  • Better heat resistance – incorporates a heat shield not found on the factory PTU that helps reduce heat transfer to the gearbox lubrication by up to 30 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent thermal breakdown
  • Greater cold resistance – seals are made from an improved material that can withstand temperatures as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit and help prevent future oil leaks
  • Added serviceability – unlike the original equipment PTU, this replacement includes a drain plug to allow for easier routine servicing of the gearbox lubrication to further help prevent future issues
