Let’s face it, sometimes SUV’s, 4×4’s and other Offroad vehicles, are a necessary part of life. Use your off road vehicle wisely. We replace all bearings, seals, fork pads, viscous (when the unit has them) and chains (chains are Morse and only Morse chains). Each Transfer Case is unique and specific to the vehicle. Please locate the identification tag on your transfer case and write down the Model & Assembly Numbers. These numbers are critical in determining the exact transfer case for your vehicle.
