Expert Volvo Drop Box Remanufacturing: The Process Behind Restoring the Volvo 22737 Model
At Industrial Reman, we pride ourselves on being an expert in remanufacturing Volvo drop boxes, including the popular 22737 model. With years of experience, our team of skilled technicians follows a meticulous and highly controlled process to restore these transfer cases to like-new condition, ensuring superior performance and longevity for every unit we handle. In this article, we will walk through the detailed remanufacturing process, outlining how our commitment to quality ensures you get a reliable product, every time.
The Importance of Volvo Drop Boxes in All-Wheel Drive Systems
Volvo drop boxes, or transfer cases, are essential in distributing power between the front and rear wheels in all-wheel-drive (AWD) or four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicles. In particular, the Volvo 22737 drop box is a critical component that ensures optimal power transfer and performance, especially in challenging driving conditions. When these units experience wear or damage, remanufacturing becomes an excellent option, restoring the part to its original specifications and extending the life of the vehicle.
Step 1: Disassembly and Initial Inspection
The remanufacturing process begins with a thorough disassembly of the drop box. Our technicians start by visually inspecting the unit for signs of external damage such as leaks, cracks, or signs of overheating. Following the initial inspection, the transfer case is completely torn down into its individual components, including the gears, shafts, bearings, seals, and other critical parts.
Step 2: Cleaning and Debris Removal
Once disassembled, all components are subjected to an extensive cleaning process. This typically involves the use of powerful solvents and ultrasonic cleaners that remove oil, grime, and debris from even the smallest nooks and crannies. If necessary, components may undergo media blasting to remove surface rust or corrosion, preparing them for inspection and potential reconditioning.
Step 3: Detailed Inspection and Measuring for Tolerances
After cleaning, each component is carefully inspected for signs of wear, cracking, or damage. Our technicians use precision measuring tools, such as calipers and micrometers, to check the tolerances of gears, shafts, and bearings against factory specifications. Any component found to be out of tolerance or damaged beyond repair is marked for replacement. This step is critical in ensuring that the remanufactured drop box functions as reliably as a new one.
Step 4: Replacing Worn or Damaged Components
During reassembly, worn or damaged parts such as seals, bearings, bushings, and sometimes gears, are replaced with new or refurbished parts. At Industrial Reman, we source only the highest quality replacement parts to ensure durability and performance. Additionally, if there are any known manufacturer upgrades to parts, we may incorporate these improvements into the remanufacturing process to enhance the longevity and reliability of the unit.
Step 5: Machining and Surface Refinishing
Some components, like gears and shafts, may be salvaged through precision machining. Surface refinishing ensures that these parts meet exacting standards, providing smooth, reliable operation. Our team uses advanced machining techniques to restore parts to factory specifications, improving the overall function of the drop box.
Step 6: Reassembly and Calibration
Once all components are ready, the transfer case is carefully reassembled. During this process, new seals, bearings, and fasteners are installed, and the drop box is calibrated to ensure correct alignment, proper gear engagement, and torque distribution. All internal components, including chains and clutches, are tested to ensure they are working in perfect harmony.
Step 7: Testing and Quality Control
At Industrial Reman, quality control is the cornerstone of our process. Once reassembled, each drop box undergoes a rigorous series of bench tests. These tests simulate real-world conditions, allowing us to check torque distribution, ensure smooth gear shifts, and identify any potential sources of noise or vibration. Additionally, the drop box is subjected to a leak test to ensure seals and gaskets are functioning perfectly.
Step 8: Final Inspection and Warranty
After passing all testing phases, the drop box is given a final inspection by our quality control team. We ensure that it meets or exceeds OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) standards before it is approved for shipment. As a further assurance of quality, all remanufactured Volvo drop boxes, including the 22737 model, come with a comprehensive warranty, giving you peace of mind in the durability and reliability of the product.
Step 9: Packaging and Shipment
Once the final inspection is completed, the transfer case is carefully packaged to prevent damage during shipping. Every remanufactured Volvo 22737 transfer case is delivered ready to install, offering a cost-effective solution to maintain or restore your vehicle's AWD system.
