Consumer Description

DRIVING HOME TODAY IN MY 2010 DODGE RAM 1500, HEARD A HUM WHEN I LET OFF ON THE GAS. AS I MADE A RIGHT TURN TO GET OFF THE ROAD, I HEARD A BUNCH OF RATTLING AND THE TRUCK STOPPED. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK MY DRIVE SHAFT WAS LAYING IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME. I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND FOUND THE TRANSFER CASE SNAPPED AND LAYING ON THE GROUND UNDER THE TRUCK. A COUPLE OF BYSTANDARD OFFERED TO HELP PUSH THE TRUCK OFF THE ROAD BUT WHEN IT WAS IN NUTRAL IT WOULDN'T MOVE. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK PUT IT UP ON THE FLAT BED THE REAR AXCEL WAS LOCKED UP AND THE TIRES WOULD NOT ROTATE.
