How to Identify Your Ford Transfer Case
Identifying your Ford transfer case can be done by following a few steps. Here’s a guide to help you:

The decal typically contains a bar code, serial number, and other identification information.
2. Check for a round tag: For parts identification purposes, a round tag is often affixed to the back of the rear case. Stamped on the tag are the model number, assembly number, transfer case build date, and low range information.
3. Locate the BorgWarner identification tag: If your Ford transfer case is a BorgWarner model, the identification tag is typically located on the rear of the transfer case, just below the output shaft. The first four digits of the tag sequence identify the transfer case model.
4. Consult a transfer case guide: There are various transfer case guides available that provide information on different transfer case models, including Ford models. These guides outline the transfer case applications, type, and low range ratio.
By following these steps and using the information provided on decals, tags, and guides, you should be able to identify your Ford transfer case.
