Anyone have the 15-17 transfer case skid plate part #

[Trainmaster]

The one I posted from my 2008 (7L1Z-7E063-AC) goes nowhere near the sway bar. It goes right behind the middle cross member under the front door that supports the transmission. The two bolts on the flat part bolt to that crossmember, which is right behind the exhaust crossover pipe.

Makes no sense as to why a sway bar is shown in the parts diagram with it.

That's right Black... it makes no sense at all. It's nowhere near the sway bar. The only thing it shares in common with the sway bar is that they are both under the truck.

Here's the transfer case skid plate for my 2008:

7L1Z-7E063-AC -- Ford's book says it fits builds 08/2007 - 08/2014. About $60.



This was one hard part number to find. Good luck finding one for a later model. Note that it mounts onto the outside sides of the frame rails.

There's a FL1Z-7E063-B but I can't find an accurate picture of it.

EL, shortie, or both?

 

[Trainmaster]

I didn;t look it up, but they look the same on both the EL and the regular SSVs

so that skid plate will NOT fit an '04 4x4 Expy?

If anyone needs/wants the skid plate that fits the 2017 model drop me a note. Pretty sure I have one, still in the package, in my garage that I ordered in anticipation of fitting it to my '17.

I'm quite certain it will not fit the 04. Look it up in the parts book. The 04 has a different one, as does the 99.

Was there any resolution to finding the '15-'17 transfer case skid plate? I'm installing the RCI engine plate now, but I'd like to find something for the transfer case area behind that. I've got a '15 4x4.

Thanks @Hamfisted - just saw this post:

15-17 Owners just get the SSV transfer case skid plate. It costs $35 including hardware!

Pretty sure this info is only good for the 15-17 Expeditions as there are some extra cross beams around the transfer case. SSV Transfercase Skid FL1Z-7E063-A $12.82 from my local dealer that is not a typo! It is the same galvanized steel as the engine OEM engine skid. Sure not RCI 10 gauge...

didn't realize that the part shown earlier in this thread was the transfer case skid plate. The one you show is under the engine, where I now have these RCI plates:

thanks for the help though!

Not sure how I missed this post.
Do you have a picture of it installed??

That is clearly the part in the diagram I posted earlier that the parts guy gave me but the part number he was able to find for it was different and so was the part.

The part I received is clearly a skid plate of some sort just have no clue where is goes.

I have a 2016 "XL fleet" or SSV and it has a flat sheen galvanized plate looks identical to the one pictured above, just less "chromy"... mine has 3 lines of stamped part numbers line 1: L1QOB line 2: 149 15 Line 3: FLI4 7E063 AA the crossmembers fore and aft of the transfer case have a square layout pattern where the plate bolts up.. the best link i found online for accuracy was https://www.fordpartsgiant.com/parts/ford-plate_fl1z-7e063-a.html and the bolt kit pictured below it. the t. case is up above it sort of protected by the rails - i assumed this stiffened the rails together, but dunno. honestly, i took it off and left it off..
