Was going along in 4hi about 10mph in a couple feet of snow and was kinda going down a hill not even giving it any fuel and all the sudden with no warning -- bang,bang,bang. I immediatly stop and look underneath thinking it was a axle U-joint or something and then I saw the fluid pouring out from somewhere in under the transfer case. It was dripping down on that skid plate and then down off of it. I couldnt see exactly where it was coming from as there was snow packed in all around it. Wasnt much I could do so I rolled on and started up the next hill and no front wheel spinnage. So I bord around in 2wheel until I came to a place to park it. Havent got to go get it yet and tear it out to look yet. What does DTR think happend ?

The chain broke and busted out the case is my guess.

Im going to have to agree with nitrousn on this one, thats what sounds like happened broke and then bound up and broke the case..

good luck with getting it fixed..

Mine did this on Friday night. Front driveshaft came loose, and hit the t-case, busting a hole in the side. Time for a new 241.

I'll guess the rear shaft retainer c-clip came off and allowed the shaft to walk causing the gaers to misalign with the chain.They sell a c-clip eliminatitor that is a locking collar.Gilleys t-case saver..... search.
