Question. So I found out I have a bad transfer case on my 98 explorer. My mechanic told me that I can "deactivate" it by removing a rod and the truck will be a rear wheel drive truck. My question is, is this a good idea? The transfer case is pretty expensive. The cheapest I found brand new was over $800. A reputable used car parts place has one with 89,000 miles on it for $350. If I can do this to allow me to save the money to repair correctly. What are the pros and cons of "deactivating" the transfer case?
