So i didn't notice that the shifter had been bumped and i was in 4wd and at 60mph my front driveshaft Ujoint exploded and took out the rear tail housing. Completely snapped in half..ratchet strapped back together and it runs and shifts belove it or not with minimal leaks . Cant find a tail housing anywhere. Im about to buy a tig welder. And experiment cause im out of options unless anyone knows or has a transmission, tail housing or what would fit?.the one i put in was a 2wd using parking brake to mate transfer case..thanks
