- '97 Explorer XLT
I have a 97 Explorer XLT, VIN # 1FMDU34E3VUB80907. It has 206,000 miles and my transfer case is gone for the third time. I had it rebuilt by a local shop here in San Antonio, Nogalitos Gear. Obviously a bad choice. I even took it back before the warranty expired the 2nd time, but they didnt find any issues. 30 days later, it went out again. So, I'm going to a junk yard in Austin to pick one up tomorrow. I found a website that said I had a Borg Warner 4405 with ID #F57A-7A195-CA. Since I can't see it on the mounted transfer case(I can see Borg Warner and my receipt does say 4405), can I assume the ID is correct based on the VIN? I'm trying to avoid pulling the old one until I have a new one ready to go up, but no returns once purchased. Thanks in advance.
