You can use an adapter on the explorer trans to keep your stock t-case, or you can swap in a manual or electric shift f-150 case.

just gunna start to take out the 3.0 and tranny next week i got a 1999 explorer with a 5.0 and tranny with only 70,000 miles on it still not sure on a transfer case i would like to get a electric one to just wire to the switch already in my ranger any ideas?

Electric shift case out of a 97-04 F150 will work. Wiring it will be the tricky part, i'm not sure if its been done before. Most of us just run the manual shift case.
