Which transfer case is this?
 

Would the transfer case with this 2.9L be a 1354m?

Click me

could be a 1350M

I think you're right.

I'd ask him to check it for you just to eliminate all doubt

Something to remember....

'89 and older: 1350
'90+: 1354

Regardless of BroncoII, Ranger, or Explorer (which all have 1354 anyway since they're 1992+)

Also, 1350 front shaft is a slip yoke design, 1354 have a bolt-on front shaft.

I am running a 1350m, bolted right up to the tranny but i had to buy a bronco II drive shaft and have it shortened by a shop for it to work on the ranger. Hasn't given me any problems but it took a little while to figure out how to make it work on this truck.
