It developed a slight vibration not too long ago. we checked all the steering joints, bushings, driveshafts, ext for any damage or bad components an found nothing. a fwe of the tires were replaced recently and we thought that maybe the tires had started to flat spot. So we took it for a ride and vibration started to get worse so i backed off the gas a little, but it didnt help. Suddenly the truck began violently shaking and making a hellacious noise, followed by screaming metal and even mor shaking. I managed to get the truck to the side of the road and shut it down. A look under neath revealed the carnage, shattered bell housing, the trans was twisted and pushed back 6inches, front PTO shaft was pulled apart, trans to T-case shaft was ripped apart, the shifter pulled back and put a hole in the floor, bent crossmember, and a bunch more mangled parts. Needles to say the truck will be heading to the parts yard in the sky. Sorry no pics now but i will get some later.

Don't throw it away dude. If I was closer and had a place to put it, I'd take that for a project.
