Transfer case KABLAM!
I happened to catch the truck misbehaving on the dash cam. Thought others might be interested. For anyone with transfer case expertise, what exactly would you guess failed?

Mine failed, see my thread on t-case leak, they kept replacing the seal and it finally started throwing metal with the oil. And the seal would get destroyed in about 5 miles. I believe it was a bearing issue, and that it was spinning in the case, causing the tail shaft to wobble, destroying the seal. They never told me exactly what it was. They finally ended up replacing it.

im not sure how the electric shift tcases work. my only experience with them was about 6yrs ago when i was shopping for a small truck and test drove a ford ranger. the electric motor wasnt working correct so i returned the truck and bought a tacoma with manual shift tcase. luckily a tcase can be swapped out for a new unit in about a hour or less so the dealer shouldnt need to keep your truck very long
