Product Details

Cardone Transfer Case Motor 48-105 is remanufactured to meet or exceed original equipment performance targets. The remanufacturing process is based on reverse engineering of failed units, which helps identify original design weaknesses and correct them before the part is returned to service. This approach supports dependable transfer case engagement in GM 4WD systems across a wide range of trucks and SUVs, including Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Sierra, Yukon, and related applications.

This part cross-references Cadillac 12474401 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Resolve

• Service 4WD light illuminated
• 4WD inoperative or inconsistent transfer case shifting
• Weak or incomplete motor engagement during shift commands
• Transfer case motor failure in 2HI, 4HI, or 4LO positions
• Electrical or sensor-related transfer case motor issues

Installation Notes

Before installation, manually shift the transfer case into the two-wheel-drive position at the shift shaft. The replacement motor drive is factory-set in 2WD, and the transfer case should match that position before the motor is installed. Do not operate the motor off the transfer case, or damage and an error code can occur. A crescent wrench can be used for this operation.
