I know what you mean. I did ask the dealer the other day and they told me it was listed as 4WD. Either way, it's time to change that PTU oil.

55K, why are they leaking?

I need a little bit of help identifying these leaky plugs in the engine. Are they sensors? Is it a worn gasket? Thanks!

Thanks but I think that's a little bit above my pay grade. :) BTW, I just stopped by the stealership on my way home. I asked if they could change the oil in the PTU but they absolutely refused. They told me "We replace them but we don't service them". Ha! I'll look elsewhere.

I was just thinking about this PTU situation on my 2011 4WD. Since it's not AWD do the gears still spin all the time or is it only when I engage the traction control knob?

I'm thinking there is no drain plug on this 2011. :( I can't even see the vent hose/cap from the top engine compartment but I'll look again.

Great post here. I am trying to figure this out on my 2011 4WD explorer. Can someone confirm I've got the right spot? It looks a little different than some of the other pics and I can't seem to locate the vent hose from the top. Is the threaded screw with red thread lock the fill plug for the PTU?

Hey guys, I have a 2011 Explorer Limited with terrain management knob. I presume this is considered 4WD and has a PTU? If so, where is the PTU located? I crawled under the car but didn't see it. Is it under the plastic deflector cover? Is there an obvious drain plug? Anyone have pics? Thanks!

Thanks for posting this! Any idea why this part failed in the first place? Motor? Gears?

Please take some pics if you can. Thanks!

Thanks for looking at this! I have an early 2011 model as well. Would love to know the exact part number if you figure it out. BTW, is your windshield defrost coming out cold on the drivers side too?

Hey, mine just failed too! Did you figure out where this is located and what is required to replace it?
