If you’re on the hunt for a reliable transfer case, let me tell you about the Zumbrota transfer case. This isn’t just any remanufactured part; it’s rebuilt with a level of care that you don’t often see. I mean, we’re talking about over 150 years of combined experience from the folks who put these together. They know their stuff. Each unit is inspected for all the usual culprits of wear and tear—think cracks, stripped threads, and gear wear. You can rest easy knowing that every inch of it has been scrutinized before it even leaves the shop.
And when it comes to the rebuild, they don’t cut corners. Every single bearing, seal, and viscous coupler (where applicable) is replaced. They even use a unique hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting technique to get both the inside and outside looking sharp, restoring it to that like-new condition. Plus, they don’t just slap it together and call it a day; each unit gets a thorough spin test to ensure it shifts smoothly and is free of noise. You want a transfer case that’s ready to hit the road without any surprises, and this one delivers.
Shipping is another area where Zumbrota shines. They pack these transfer cases in heavy-duty plastic totes, which means they won’t show up at your door with a dent or scratch. It’s all about getting you a product that’s ready to install right out of the box.
Features:- Thorough quality inspection at every stage of the remanufacturing process.
- Advanced hydro blasting and rinsing to bring cases back to OEM finish.
- Complete replacement of seals, bearings, and other common wear components.
- High-density plastic totes for safe shipping, so you get it in perfect condition.
- Ford Explorer AWD 1996-1997
- Mercury Mountaineer AWD 1997
If you’ve got a 1996-1997 Ford Explorer or a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer, this is the transfer case you want. It’s the RTC4404F-1 Zumbrota BW4404, and it’s built to keep you on the move without any hiccups. Don’t settle for less when you can have something that’s been crafted with real expertise.
The shipping fee quoted in the shopping cart includes transportation of the product to your location as well as the return of your core to the manufacturer. If you opt to send your core in advance, we offer a 50% refund on the shipping cost. However, please note that this option may prolong the overall process, so we generally advise against it.
