Hello all! I need some information about the transfer case in the 1997 AWD V8 Explorer.
A friend had me drive her's today and when I get on the gas, especially at low speeds there is a loud "Poping" sound coming from what I think is the Transfer case.
I've found allot of information about the dis-engageable transfer case for this model, but I am having a ruff time finding any data on even what transfer case is used in the full time 4 wheel drive model.
What transfer case is in this vehicle? (part number?)
Do you have a link so I can see what the inside of this thing looks like?
The only off road this truck see's is gravel spilled into a parking lot,.. is there any reason why I can't simply remove the front drive shaft?
She wants to get a new explorer, but needs this one to last another few months before she can afford the new one. We are looking for a cheap easy solution to limp her by
BTW,.. this would be the second time this transfer case has been replaced in 170K miles,.. last time it cost her 2K.
Thanks for the help!
