...found a 7ga with a speed sensor, but it didnt have the tod sticker like all the other tod cases have. it had the 4 bolt output to the front not the cup. but this is the same number as mine and yours but was diffrent what gives?
my guess is that this is from a 95 or 96 explorer - those might have came with the 4-bolt front output to mate with a double-cardan front driveshaft. below is an image of such a driveshaft (except this one is purely from a first generation - 91 to 94 ; ignore the arrow).
here is a cluseup of the end that connects to the transfer case:
does that look like what you found in the junk yard?

i dono what to do next, i mean i could pull it back out of the truck open it up and hope its obvious why its not working correctly, but i doubt it will be obvious. any ideas?
you could go with that 7GA case that you found and get the driveshaft thats hooked up it (slide it in ur pants, the ppl at the yard will never know - and if they ask, just tell em u got the stiff leg from the vietnam war - even if ur not old enough
). the other end should be the same (the end that goes to the differential) as your current driveshaft; so that driveshaft should bolt up to the differential.
this is what i did when i did my manual 13-54 transfer case swap - i used a driveshaft from a first generation (thats why i have those pictures above).
the only difference is that this driveshaft might a tad longer - so u just need to really compress it (the red arrow in the first image points to the compressible part) in order to get the u-joint to sit into the differential's input.
if u go with this transfer case aand driveshaft idea, one thing i would make sure before forking over money is that the electrical connectors are the same as your current case.
