Yes it did have oil in it. It was ALL over the undercarriage, but the pic was taken after it had been wiped down.
xmontex4 it never lost power, but I shut it down as soon as it went BANG. There was a period of 10 or 15 seconds right before it blew up that it was grinding super loud. But I was in heavy traffic and didnt have time to react.
While one of the U-Joints is wearing out, you could still easily move it by hand.

Well the truck is all done and I ended up having the driveshafts rebuilt to be on the safe side. Seems to be running/driving really well now.
I'll post some pics of the inside of the T-Case tomorrow. Really glad to have it back on the road, but the repair bill always hurts... just life i guess!
Thanks for the comments/info guys.

Well I went the used route and the shop owner is a really good friend of mine (and I used to be his assistant manager...)
The used case was a $1000 with 59k miles on it and a short warranty.
A reman jasper would have been about $2500 which is on par with a new one from Ford.
I took the safe route and rebuilt both driveshafts too, so that was quite a bit extra.
I have way too much money into this truck (I put a new bed on it last year), but the way I look at it is it's still cheaper than a new Super Duty.
