Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK DOWN A BACK COUNTRY ROAD ON THE SWAY TO WORK WHEN I NOTICED A WHISTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE TRUCK. I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN FROM 55MPH AND THEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. I GOT OUT TO FIND THE TRANSFER CASE BLOWN APART AND THE REAR END WAS LOCKED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS MATTER IF I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR HAD NOT BEGUN TO SLOW DOWN. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I HAVE FOUND MANY RECALLS ON MY TRUCK. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS GOING TO RUN ME AROUND 3 GRAND, IF THE TRANSMISSION ISN'T MESSED UP. *TR
