Ok guys finally starting to mod the sho. It's been driven by my fiance since 5 miles. Now has almost 70k miles. Its a 2012 non pp. Oil changed regular by ford et etc. Now I just ordered a custom tune and 3 bar map from unleashed. I put ngk colder plugs in and gapped at 32 I think around 40k miles. Should I replace them? What other preventive maintenance should I do? I honestly don't know if the trans has ever been serviced or anything else besides oil? Just want to do all I can to prevent any major failures.

I actually just read that after I posted. And honestly I have no idea what some of that shit is. I know alot about car but mainly normal crap like ls cars, hemi trucks etc but jack crap about these ecoboost engines. Can someone please explain to me what all that stuff is.

PTU = power transfer unit/power take off unit - sits at the trans and divides power between front & rear via driveshaft/right axle
RDU = rear differential unit (the back half of the AWD system) - controls power to the rear wheels
CAC = intercooler - sits up front next to the radiator to cool the air charge; air-to-air system
