Default Transfer case busted

Since its raining today I couldnt work on my fuel problem so I thought i would show some pics of what happened to me while i was towing a uhaul with everything I own in it. there was a shimmy in the truck at 55+ mph and i prayed it would make it to my destination 600 miles away...it made it 500 miles before the transfer case blew...I crawled under it on side I-75 and pulled the front drive shaft off and somehow made it the remaining 100 miles.

yeah but when it broke...that was the sickest pit in my stomach. soooo close. and pulling a drive shaft off in the dark on side the interstate was quite...umm..lets just say i never should have watched those TV shows that show people getting rear ended on side Interstates.

BTW the cause was a busted yoke on the front drive shaft..it was bent at one of the holes just enough to bind.
