The wife had a 2013 SHO with PP. We had the fluid changed every 50,000 miles. It never failed. However, at 155,000 miles, the water pump started to go. Caught it before gasket failed. Spent $2200.00 to have the water pump and timing set replaced. All was great until a week later one of the turbos went. It mysteriously caught fire the next night. Good thing I parked it out on the street that night.
wow thats crazy
No mystery. The guy who did your timing job didn't tighten the high pressure fuel pump fitting correctly when putting the top end back together.
Where did you get a quote that cheap?
So glad I found this channel. I have a 2013 SHO, white. I call it SHOby Dick, since its a big white whale. Just this past Monday had my PTU replaced at the fine folks at Chopper automotive in Millville NJ. Mine was grinding horribly in a matter of miles. Anyway, it's nice to see it disassembled and re installed.
Mines Ruby Red named Dorothy 😂
I'm just down the road towards kingdom city. Currently stock sho
Kingdom city 😂
Sick asfffff bro I just ordered a xdi 30 thru Brad your vids make me excited
I don't see too big a problem. I am sure you can pick up a casing at a junk yard or discount auto store. It is not the part that failed. It was hot rodding it. You want to do that. You need a heavy duty part.
If you keep breaking them under 2 years then unlimited ptus.
can’t wait to see this thing running again!
What about the PTU from a interceptor sho?
my PTU finally went at 175k
Flex tray will fit with the downpipes, on their old version you had to trim some of the heat shielding, new ones you may not have to since they fit tighter.
If you're not going to use the temp sender on the PTU I'd pull the shield and the sensor, replace it with a normal plug, that way you don't have to pull the downpipe for access during services.
Didn't you have well over 100k miles on that thing tho..?
Plz when you fit Let's take a look at how to fit .
Thank you
You would think,,someone would build a higher performance ptu for the sho
Are these reliable with fbo and 93 octane ?
You put 650 ft lbs of torque through the drivetrain.
Hard launches ?
Sticky tires ?
Have an 87 grand national around 430rwhp, sticky tires is a good way to find your weakest link in the drivetrain!
@@Jeff-uq7iu
Lol
That's one way
They tell me I need real slicks not drag radials.
Radial sidewalls are too stiff
I'm 6 speed manual
Lol there's radial classes running 5s in the 8th 😂
@nicolastrujillo4355
That would be 9 second quarter mile right ?
@@Highlander1432 give or take depending how well the track likes you ☺️
Were in Missouri r u at . I have a 13sho and trying to figure out what tuning to get for it
I see you have a mode door actuator sitting there. I had to fix mine twice now. 2016 with 80k
Mine went at 74,000, totally stock, on 87 octane.
What's the easiest way to "turn off" the overboost problem that occurs about 6 seconds into the drag runs my 3.5 ecoboost ?
Aftermarket blow-off valve
Question is there a Aftermarket PTU or Custom one Available on the Market
I still want your Gearhead performance intercooler if you decide to go a "custom" setup & sell it.
So wait. It had issues with the inside of the case? The bearing surfaces on the PTU are bad?
Dam good luck brotha looks like alot of work
My 2010 SHO just went dead wont turn on I checked the compression everything seems good any ideas what could it be can it be 1 of the turbos
How many miles?
probably fuel or ignition, I doubt its a turbo. Usually if the problem isn't compression, its fuel or spark. Maybe check fuel pressure, pump could be toast.
When I had a 2010, I kept getting cracked spark plugs, dealership knew about it
Nice video! Hope the cooler works out for ya
Were you buy your ptu bro, info.please....
Why all that trouble get a Chevy
Love your videos brotha
What year SHO?
One of my dream car
So overall, are these SHO's pretty reliable if kept stock?
Heck no
@@tommyboudreau227 well that stinks. Guess I'll keep looking.
@@SteeltechPC unless its got a new water pump "hell job" or pay crazy money to have that fix when it goes, and mind as well do the timing chain cause they like going in EcoBoost a shop for labor and parts is around 2500 believe ford asks for. Or do it yourself take your time and save 1400$
is this problematic in all SHOs?
I thought the biggest downfall was the waterpump lol
I thought the biggest downfall was the transmission
Well Ford did help with letting everyone know what the biggest downfall is. I mean, they circled it, highlighted it and put FORD in the center.
🧐
Abought to get my sho what should be the first things i should do
All the fluids!
Was the PTU serviced at all before? I don't have a SHO, but I try to do every 15k service on the PTU on both my Fusion and Edge.
5 times in the last 40k miles
@@AutoRacingYT Nice! Wasn't implying it wasn't (bad wording? Lol) just was curious. Awesome that won't crap out on you now during a race or a track day lol.
Find you a cop car at copart with low miles that the body is beyond repair. They sell cheap
Actually the PTU was talking to you & you weren't listening. After just listening to your "schpeel" speak on economics I wonder was that BS or do you not understand "First Principle Diagnostics". The PTU didn't fail. A weaker link went first. The new PTU is now another (next) weak link in the chain (of power train). It is a very easy, standard mechanical procedure to remove the pinion gear with the gnarly bearing & replace the bearing with a higher grade quality replacement, than was stock. Your car is now beyond the design factor it was engineered & built to. As for the worn case. Your new case can fail the the same way but a catastrophic failure is now possible. You obviously know the mechanism of injury. So what is the remedy? I would suggest a steel or hardened flange/cup be fit into the machined case that will accommodate a proper thrust bearing / washer arrangement. Your axial load factors are now far beyond the originally as designed stock PTU. This guys is what "Hot Rodding" was born from. Innovation & creativity. It isn't as complicated as rocket science. But it is basic Mechanical Engineering... Otherwise you are just replacing parts, repeating history & not improving. NB; As for drain plug... I think you could use 2 of the PTU cover bolts to be your drain & fill port.
How ? are you use same oil type PTU & Transmission !!
Fluids don't intersect. Cooler is on outside of the case
@@AutoRacingYT Pretty sure in the video you stated you were going to run the trans out line to the cooler, then from the out line on the cooler to the PTU, which would "superheat" the fluid going in to the transmission. 12:20
@@kamron5463 and yet trans temp never went over 140 degrees on a 90 degree day
@@AutoRacingYT I wasn't saying you were doing anything wrong or that the fluid would overheat (you said that in the video, lol). He asked if / how you were using the same fluid in PTU and Trans, you replied saying the fluids don't intersect (which they would, if you were running them in series).
Mine was stock and blew at 70k.
Could I send you mine? Just to see how fucked it really is, it’s bad
I hate the driveline on these cars.
First!
650 ft pounds of what lol
Torque?
