Wow, wouldnt have thought it was the diff. Guess we will all know for next time if it happens again. I thought for sure it was the t-case. Glad to know even with the chain drive they are apparently stronger then the diff. Would have thought cv's would be snapping before the diff did though.

If I knew it was the front diff instead of t-case we could have easily gotten you home in rear wheel drive. Just leave the front shaft disconnected and pull the front flanges for the cv's. Swap on some manual hubs if we had to.
