I'm dreading the day when this happens to me. Hopefully I take it as well as you did. Good luck with the rest of it

The way I look at xfer case destruction is inevitable. It only takes one launch with wheel hop to cause a bunch of crap to take dump. That or one slip up at the line.

I'm curious if there is a better solution for the ACD case such as a quaife. I'd be interested in upgrading mine before blowing the stocker and losing the case in the process.

Just went though my first TC replacement... wasn't too bad so far. And a few weeks ago Shep did mine, and he was done with it only like 2 or 3 days after he got it I was very impressed.
