Does anyone know what vehicles used the Borg-Warner 13-54 transfer case? From my reach I have identified the following:

1) Bronco II 1983 to 1995
2) Explorers from 91-94
3) Rangers - but not sure of exact dates?

Did any other vehicles use this case?

I'm pretty sure my 99 Ranger has a 1354 case.

Rangers and Bronco II's from 83-89 will have the 1350. I think the 1354 transition occurred in 1990 but someone else can confirm.

Full size in those years is a 1356 as I recall. Definitely not a1350/1354 though. After that they started getting the 4406.

That's what I was thinking.
I got mine from a 90 b2.

I am concerned by the fact that the OP thinks he learned the 1995 Bronco II had a BW1354 since 1990 was the last year for the BII.

Basically every RBV with a part time 4wd setup used the 1354 transfer case after ~11/89. Simply put if your RBV had a D35 front axle stock, it also has a 1354 transfer case.

Manual transfer cases can be found in rangers all the way up to 1997 (excluding the limited production '02-'03 FX4 Level II units).

Thanks for your replies.

Out of the vehicles that used the 1354 transfer case, do you know if any used a metal mode fork in the case? As most the ones I have seen are plastic.

If the transition occurred in 1990, what is the latest year of a vehicle with a 1345?

You have 2 threads with 2 accounts asking the same questions or am i going crazy? What are you trying to accomplish by discovering the transitional timeline of the mode fork material. Early ones are a cast zinc/aluminum alloy. Later and most aftermarket replacements are plastic but the 1354m i think were all metal. What are you trying to do?
