When it comes to transfer cases, Zumbrota knows their stuff. I’ve had the chance to work with their remanufactured BW4412 Transfer Case, and I can honestly say it’s a game changer. Each unit is rebuilt with a level of care that’s hard to find these days. The craftsmen at Zumbrota really take pride in their work, inspecting every nook and cranny for wear and tear—think cracks, stripped threads, and even gear wear. They don't just slap it together; they go the extra mile with their Hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting process, ensuring every part is as clean as it can be. That’s the kind of attention to detail that gives you confidence when you’re behind the wheel.

What I appreciate most is that they replace all the bearings, seals, and viscous couplers. You’re not just getting a refurbished case; you’re getting something that feels brand new. Plus, they put each unit through a rigorous spin test to make sure shifting is smooth and quiet. You can really feel the difference when you hit the trail or the highway.

Now, let’s talk about some key features. This transfer case is designed for the Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4WD from 2008 to 2010, so if you own one of those, you’re in luck. It’s got a 5-speed automatic transmission and the Torque on Demand (TOD) feature, which is fantastic for those unpredictable off-road conditions. The aluminum housing keeps it lightweight yet durable, and the electric shift operation makes it easy to engage.

Here’s a quick rundown of the specs: it has a rear output type that’s bolt-on, and it holds about 1.3 quarts of Mercon LV ATF fluid (just a heads up, you’ll need to grab that separately). And yes, the transfer case motor is included, so you won’t have to hunt for that piece.

What’s more, Zumbrota ships these units in high-density plastic totes, so you won’t have to worry about damage during transit. It’s all about getting you back on the road (or the trail) with confidence.
