Hi, I am looking for some information, or other people who have had similar situations. My truck has 150,000 miles on it without any truly hard use. Has had fairly regular preventative maintenance. About 1 1/2 weeks ago, a regular clunk developed under the hood. It would get faster as the truck moved faster. I took it to two different shops and asked them both to please check the U-joints. The first shop said, Yeah, they're a little loose, but not bad. The second shop told me I needed the ball joints replace. I know the difference between ball joint noise and U-joint noise. Well needless to say, last Friday evening, I had a catastrophic failure of the transfer case. Not only did it basically disintegrate internally, but the outer case broke into parts. I lost the front driveline, the transfer case, and have a huge dent in the transmission oil pan. Has anyone else had similar problems? Thanking you in advance. Ardis @ Eagle View
