Howdy everyone. I’m having some very troubling issues with my ranger. I snapped 2 of the tiny 1210 u joint on the rear drive shaft wheeling. I removed the rear shaft and used the 4hi with the front drive shaft to get home. When driving to the drive line shop I hear a loud crack/pop and all my tcase fluid is on the road, when I pull over there is a massive crack from the rear output shaft housing to the fill hole and a large chunk of the housing is missing. I assume I need to get a new tcase, I was considering getting just a new housing half but I assume there is bearing damage as I had to drive a short distance before pulling over. The transfer case is a borgwarner 1350 manual shift. What vehicles did this tcase come in? I’m trying to source one from a local junkyard but I might have to end up ordering one on eBay. Any idea what caused this failure? Could running in 4 with just the front shaft cause this or could it of been the rear shaft failing and starting a crack in the case?
Thanks.
Thanks.
