If you're in the market for a transfer case that won't let you down, the Zumbrota transfer case is worth a serious look. Trust me, I’ve been around the block a few times with these things, and I can say with confidence that Zumbrota knows their stuff. When you grab one of these bad boys, you're not just getting a part; you're getting peace of mind, backed by a solid 2-year, unlimited mileage warranty. That’s right—no worrying about how far you’re driving.

What sets Zumbrota apart? It’s all about the craftsmanship. Each unit is rebuilt to a standard that’s hard to beat. We’re talking about over 150 years of combined experience in the industry here. They don’t just slap these together; they inspect every nook and cranny for wear and tear—cracks, stripped threads, shaft warps, gear wear, and chain stretch are all on their radar. If it doesn’t meet their high standards, it doesn’t make the cut.

Every transfer case gets a full makeover. All the bearings, seals, and viscous couplers are replaced, so you know you’re getting a unit that’s ready to roll. The cleaning process is something to behold too. They use a hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting to get both the insides and outsides back to that shiny OEM finish. Then, they go the extra mile with a deep cleaning that really makes a difference. Once it’s all put together, each unit gets spin-tested to ensure it shifts smoothly and runs quietly. You can feel confident knowing that it’s been thoroughly vetted before it lands on your doorstep.

And speaking of delivery, Zumbrota packs these units in high-density plastic totes to keep them safe during transit. No one wants to deal with a damaged part arriving at their door, right?

Features:

  • Each unit is quality inspected throughout the remanufacturing process, ensuring you get a reliable product.
  • Cases are cleaned using a state-of-the-art hydro blasting and rinsing process that restores them to an OEM finish.
  • Every unit features 100% replacement of seals, bearings, viscous couplers (when applicable), and other common wear components.
  • Shipped in high-density plastic totes to minimize the risk of in-transit damage.

Fitment:

  • Ford Explorer AWD 1998-2001
