Well, this is new to me.

I've never seen this before. Actually kinda amazing if you ask me.

Funny thing is, i was actually able to drive the truck home just no more 4wd. Anyone know if people get their transfer cases built to withstand the abuse? My stock tranny did this too my case. I can't imagine the stress a built truck would put on a stock case.

That is odd. Is the front drive shaft damaged?

Not that I know of. I'd have to check tomorrow in some day light.

This is odd did you hear anything when it happened? These transfer cases can take quite a bit of abuse before they have any issues. I'd be surprised if power was the problem. But weirder things have happened:shrug:

Hmm... What were you doing? Was there a lot hoping involved?

 

[jdgleason]

Yikes! That looks expensive! lol

 

[Dzchey21]

i dont think i've ever seen someone break a case like that.

JB weld...
I always wondered how much they would take. Were you launching in 4hi when that happened?

 

[HOOV3R]

Weird... Must have caught traction a bit hard with the front end. Usually you just break an axle shaft though.

 

[cbrown]

Interesting...whats the full story lol?

 

[OBS F350]

Only time I've seen a T-case broken like that is from the front drive shaft being pushed into it, very very hard. It was in a lot of pieces lol.

 

[nickg3130]

4wd launch in the sand I assume there was a lot of hopping. I made the mistake of letting my buddy drive the truck. I think I'm gonna end up searching junk yards for a new t-case. Hopefully that works.

 

[nickg3130]

I took a video and I know he launched a little, let off the throttle then mashed it again and that's when it went.

 

[97stoker350]

this is exactly why friends dont let friends drive thier trucks lol thats crazy though

 

[rray37375]

Only three people drive my truck. Me, my wife (infrequently) and my son (rarely). Both my wife and my son know how much I value my truck, and treat it accordingly.

 

[nickg3130]

That's ok I'm not gonna blame it on him. Plus he's coming with me to pick up the new case and is gonna do most of the install for me.

Thats unreal. It must take some sort of talent. Ha ha. Just kidding.

Rivets are the new duct tape.

I did it in a bone stock truck before. Spinning hard on gravel and it grabbed some concrete below. Chain broke and wedged in between the gear and case. Case is the weak point.

Man, you did a number on that one.
