Sorry if this has been answered before - I couldn't find it via search.
Q: Did Ford ever sell the 5.0 explorer with a low-range transfer case? If so, please let me know what that option is called, and what years it was available.
Otherwise, can a 4WD transfer case be easily swapped into a 5.0 AWD? Any other suggestions? Thanks!
(My '96 XLT 4X4 with the 4.0 is horribly underpowered and gets 13 mpg city / 17 mpg hwy - I'd like to get an identical vehicle with the 5.0, or as close as possible. I'm NOT interested in swapping a 5.0 into my X - what a pain!)

Check out Stadx2's thread on switching from an AWD transfer case to a Control Trac t-case with 4Lo.
