I'm driving this morning out in the country, hit a bump and WHAM! wtf was that? Truck slowed down making all kinds of awful noises. The only thing I could see visually is that the spacer between the transmission and transfer case was cracked all the way through and my son said it was moving around, he's 11 but I probably wouldn't have seen it without his input. Has anyone had this happen? This really sucks because my truck is in BFE and I'm leaving the country tomorrow morning at 530. Hopefully my towing company/mechanic will come through for me with minimal communication. It being Sunday I had to leave the key and a not in their drop box, suuuuuuuuuuucks.

 

had that happen on my 88 diesel once. the part was $300 back in 2005.

 

If you can get one from a 4R100 4X4 trans , they are made of steel and less likely to crack.
