Buying a used transfer case: what to check
- Match the exact model code. Gear ratios differ across trims of the same truck.
- Ask whether fluid was inspected at removal; metallic fluid means walk away.
- Confirm electronic vs manual shift versions.
- Check the output shaft splines for wear before install.
