Yeah you were definitely lucky on a few fronts. I’m glad mine didn’t come apart on me. I started feeling some extra vibration on the freeway for about 20 miles but then when I slowed down at the end of an exit ramp it started shaking like crazy. I drove another 200 yards to a gas station and pulled it in the parking lot at 2:30am. Dodged a bullet I think. All the needle bearings in the center section are gone.My DC shaft grenaded in the middle of Utah, on the freeway, doing about 80mph. I consider myself extremely lucky that all I got was a dented trans pan. Could have been so, so much worse. Pulled the mangles mess of a shaft, locked the center diff and motored on my way to Phoenix where I found a shop that fabbed me a new shaft same day.
