Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
I always hear guys wanting to go bigger and badder in the transfer case area.
When I first bought the truck, I thought it would be a weak point also. But after 150,000 miles, with 4 years of sled pulling on it, it has never let me down.
I removed the Fast Cooler, to adjust the 5" exhaust on the new (CENSORED) turbo, (LOL). There was a large snap ring inside it. The case was still working, but I thought it was smart to tear it apart, see where it came from,etc. .
Ordered a new chain, and a rebuild kit, because I was told, the chains are only good for a year, sled pulling. And if you break other drivetrain parts, it stretches them. (I have, plenty. )
Well, after looking inside, we put it all back together with the original parts.
The snap ring came off of a synchronizer clip, which may have jumped loose after my terrible launch back at Muncie.
I could see no measurable wear on anything, and the chain was identical length to the new one.
I have also had guys insist ATF is not heavy enough for it. I agreed with them, but never bothered to change it from what I was running.
Not anymore.
I won't bother telling you what lubricant was in it, anyone who knows the truck, already knows!!
I'm sure I jinxed it, now, but it has been a helluva run.

No doubt!
:--) I can't believe Sleddy's t-case is in such good shape after all of the abuse its recieved, and the current owner of my previous truck managed to shatter its T-case into two pieces at probably 1/2 the power of Sleddy's Twin'd Truck.
