TO bearing failed due to WVO fuel

Ok, I just thought before Joe or one of you other wahoo's said it was 'cause a french fry got caught on a chicken bone and made my truck break again...

Seriously, we pulled up to the boat ramp and heard a cat-in-a-blender sound for a second and it went away. A few minutes later it starts again, but doesn't go away - unless I put pressure on the clutch pedal...

Could it be something else? Why would this fail in 25k miles? (SB Con OFE set)

I was planning to put a rebuilt ZF6 in there in the next couple months - when I had more TIME!!!

It failed cause you don't have the time yet! Maybe it was just a bad one from the start?

fork

Any chance you have a bent fork that is causing it to not fully disengage? had issues on a chebby way back that I finally tracked it down too. I am thinking it had to be a turkey bone that bent it......
