If you're in the market for a transfer case that won't let you down, the Zumbrota transfer case is worth a look. I've used my fair share of aftermarket parts, and I can honestly say that Zumbrota stands out for its quality and reliability. You get all the benefits of a solid rebuild, plus peace of mind with their 2-year unlimited mileage warranty. That’s a nice touch, especially when you’re pushing your vehicle to the limits on and off the road.

What makes these transfer cases special? For starters, they’re rebuilt by skilled craftsmen who bring over 150 years of combined experience to the table. These aren’t just slapped together; each unit is inspected and tested for any signs of wear—think cracks, stripped threads, and gear wear. They really go the extra mile to ensure everything is up to snuff. When you get a Zumbrota, you're getting a product that’s restored to like-new condition, which is a big deal if you want something that lasts.

They don’t just replace a couple of parts and call it a day, either. Every unit is fully rebuilt with 100% replacement of seals, bearings, and viscous couplers when necessary. Plus, they use this impressive hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting process to clean both the inside and outside of the cases. This means you’re getting something that looks good and works even better, bringing everything back to that OEM finish we all appreciate.

Before they ship out, each transfer case goes through rigorous spin testing to check for shiftability and noise. You want to know that when you throw it into gear, it’s going to respond without any weird sounds or hiccups. And speaking of shipping, Zumbrota packs these units in high-density plastic totes, so you don’t have to worry about them getting damaged on the way to your garage.
