Transfer Case Identification

96 Powerstroke 4wd auto with manual shift transfer case.. transfer case slips and ratchets in 4h.. luckily I was able to get it back into 2 and it seems fine (for now)

i see there are two possible tcases in 96, bw1356 and bw4407.. pics I have seen on net they look pretty much identical.. anyone know how to identify between the two???

are there any differences in the cases between applications? diesel - gas - auto - manual?

thanks much in advance

You probably have a 1356, the 4407 is called heavy duty.
The 4407 is more rounder than the 1356...it's flat on the long sides...if that makes sense.
I have pictures if you need them.

That's the easiest way to tell.

95 was the last year of the 1356, starting in 96 they came with a 4407
The 4407 has the number cast into the housing, probably the 1356 is the same but I'm not sure.

if your truck is a 96 then the heavy duty emblem on the tailgate isnt supposed to be there. Heavy Duty badges were 97 only, because there was a light duty (new body style) offered in 97. does yours have heavy duty under the F-250 badges on the front fenders?

My '97 has the 1356 and 2 '97's I maintain have the 1356 transfer case in them. so this is not always true.

borg-warner 13-45/13-56 transfer cases
