Ram 1500 Transfer Cases & Parts

The transfer case is an ever-present component in the drivetrain of four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles. It splits engine torque and transmits it to the output shafts that are connected to the driveshafts, finally ending in the rear and front axles. While the differential allows the inner and outer wheels of your four-wheel drive Ram 1500 to spin at different speeds, the transfer case is designed to handle these different speeds, synchronizing the rotation. Ram 1500 trucks are available with part-time 4X4 and On Demand 4X4.

A top shape of the transfer case is essential for the proper function of four-wheel and all-wheel-drive vehicles on whatever terrain. Drivers can usually choose from low or high range gears, depending on the terrain conditions; low range gears allow a vehicle to cope with extreme situations, while high range ones work better in ordinary driving conditions. Common symptoms of a malfunctioning transfer case are a grinding noise from the bottom of the vehicle, excessive effort needed to shift gears, and a continuous engagement/disengagement of four-wheel drive. In our online store, a large selection of Ram 1500 transfer cases and components is available, including shafts, seals, and switches.
