Probably just the bull ***** swinging and hitting the bed.

Whaddaya mean "hop"? Was the front bouncing? Or the rear? Or was it swerving side-to-side? Or was it the engine coughing? Did it only feel like one wheel? Was the road smooth? Was there any noise associated with it?

How the #E!! did you break the crossmember????? Fix it & the engine mount. It could have been nothing more than a random misfire shaking the engine/transmission. Pull the codes.

My problem is cured!!! The nut(that holds the yolk) on the back of the t-case spline had broke and when I would shift it would fall down and bind in the u-joints which would cause the wheel hop feelin i had felt. Its goin to cost be about 800 bucks for a used transfer case and all the labor, which is less then I thought that god.
But this forum is awesome keep on postin men this has helped me with many problems Thanks men

$400-600 in labor? Is yours the electronic t-case or the manually-shifted one?

BTW "Yoke" on the u-joint; not "yolk" from an egg.

$800 seems pretty high. They better give a helluva warranty!
