3 spd t-case out put shaft twisted off . (1 Viewer)

[pbgbottle]

had some carnage today ,twisted off my t-case out putshaft . is this common i have never heard of anybody mentioning this happening before,i was wondering why this would twist off instead of my case splitting apart .i new it was a weak link (the whole early case) .but. also does anybody have a spare shaft . or should i just pull the case apart and ugrade to the later fine spline shaft .which i have 2 of on the shelf .i'd rather not pull it apart right now want a quick fix to get her back on the road .

If you got to pick a shaft to twist off, that would be the one. Just put a new one in and you're done.

What were you doing when that happened?

 

[pbgbottle]

actually wasn't doing much exciting . i was pulling out another rig in soft gravel .
but i guess with lockers and 38's aired down digging some big holes .it really started to dig in .stopped pulling for a min.to asses the sitiation, got in and put it in reverse .put a bit of gas not much and heard a pop .,thought it popped out of gear .but i guess it didn't .

one more for the fun of it ,gotta love those diesel's

the rig had made it across before getting stuck but when coming back got stuck on that big rock in the pic above ,we had to drag that rock out first then it came right out .meanwhile my day was over .

anybody have a new one ? all i have are the later fine spline ones . i may have to pull the whole case
