When it rains it pours.
I was cruising along the interstate and someone got in my lane and slowed down, I gave it some gas and starting hearing something that sounded like my exhaust was loose. I get it home and crawl under to find this.
Which this would be my transfer case. The output shaft area.

THat's one hell of a failure there. The casting looks like it was already gone prior to that incident in terms of the amount of shearing and torsional strain that finally caused it to break free. In one pic, I can see the striated pattern vs a clean break.
Basically, the section that contains the bolt pattern twisted the base casting enough to shear / tear it apart like that. I've seen CV joints with that kind of failure and, I've seen holes punched out in transmission castings but, this is the first time I've seen this one before.
Very interesting failure there. Part torsional tearing / shearing at the casting no less.
