Went drive shaft pole vaulting after spending over a grand on new tires...
The clips on the universals at the back of the transfer case werent properly seated.
I had busted ribs and had to play supervisor when the Tcase was reinstalled after I rebuilt it.
Wife couldnt understand why I hate letting others work on my vehicles. Not only did this take out the pumpkin, there was a brand new set of gears in it, and the drive shaft was destroyed inthe pole vault that busted up the housing.
But this does settle the Quadratrac controversy. As I have been telling everyone, it IS a front wheel drive unit and the fluidic clutch engages the REAR drive when it slips, I drove this thing home ten miles like this. And since it is front wheel drive when the front end ginds and jerks whe turning it is the CV joint(s) again as I have been trying to explain all these years, that are shot, and not the 249 transfer case...
