Product Details

Cardone’s transfer case motor line is built from decades of remanufacturing and reverse-engineering experience, then applied to a new replacement design. This transfer case motor is intended to match original equipment fit and performance on Ford F-150 and Lincoln Mark LT applications, helping maintain reliable transfer case engagement. The part number 83-208 is a practical OE-style solution for drivers needing a replacement transfer case motor for 4WD operation.

This part cross-references Ford and Lincoln OE numbers such as 4L3Z7G360BA and 5L3Z7G360A for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Service 4WD light illuminated
• Transfer case not shifting into 2WD, 4HI, or 4LO
• Weak or inconsistent transfer case motor engagement
• Erratic 4WD operation on a Ford F-150 or Lincoln Mark LT
• Noise or failure during transfer case shift movement

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, manually shift the transfer case into the 2-wheel drive position at the shift shaft. A crescent wrench can be used for this operation. Do not operate the motor while it is off the transfer case, as this can damage the unit and set an error code that must be cleared before operation resumes. The replacement motor drive is factory-set in the 2-wheel drive position.

Compatible With: 2005-2008 Ford F-150, transfer case motor; 2006-2008 Lincoln Mark LT, transfer case motor.
