No, Tcase saga over and done. Now that I have a spare and figured out why I kept blowing them up, clear sailing buster.

What was the cause? I don’t remember what you had said if you even did.

Somewhere along the line either the shop I use or I installed the wrong yoke nut on the rear of the tcase. It sat on the oring and didn't fully seat on the shoulder of the yoke

How did you manage to crack the case?

That's actually the second one I cracked. The first one was a catastrophic event in Nebraska on I-80.
So it was either myself, or a shop that did some work for me, installed the wrong tcase yoke nut on the rear output. Somehow it had a smaller flange that allowed it to sit down inside the yoke instead of up on the shoulder. So the nut was compressing down on the oring but not on the shoulder of the yoke and it must have allowed just enough wobble or a harmonic that caused the cracks.

I had to check the date on post. Make sure I wasn't reading an old one.

A few spring mods going on. Rear driver side shock res keeps smacking on the track bar bracket so time to fix that. Old one is now scrap.
Also decided to ditch the mounts for the shocks/coilovers that came on the front axle from Dynatrac and install the Synergy mounts that go with the rest of the kit already on it. I know it's really not a lot but I'm thinking this will lower my COG an inch or so. So, off with those brackets too

i also like how they wrapped the knuckle in a plastic wrap. Guess it is some sort of a new welding protection
Kept all of the metal dust out of the brakes while grinding the remnants of the mounts down
