Jeez I thought mine was bad but all I did was break the case in half. How did you do that?

What is the mileage on that transfer case and how many times has the fluid been changed? What brand of ATF were you using?

Looks like the chain let go. Was it making any noise? Did you have any leaks at the transfercase? Sure sorry about your bad luck!!

Wow! It looks like it blew through the cab floor. Glad nobody was hurt. My transfer case has always leaked a little. But you said there was an oil trail to your truck so it must've had something in it. It looks like the driveshaft yoke let go. Were you in 4 wheel drive? I think my front shaft turns freely when not engaged. That's weird. Good luck with the fix.
