I was expecting something newer..... they had the recall on the pinion nut on the newer trucks.....

Think I would drop the cover on the rear, and see if there is any other damage. Likely gonna have to do the same for the front. See what's up.

Moving to second gen ram tech for ya.

Basics first: Can you shift the transfer case normally ? Put it in neutral and see if the front wheels turn. Also check with the transmission in N.

Can you describe the sequence of events ?
