Apparently, bolts are pretty important in some situations. Glad it was an easy fix.

It's always a relief to find out it's something simple like that.

A little baling wire and top it off with a few wraps of duct (or duck) tape and good as new, maybe even better.

Looks like the glue didn't hold. Better get some good bolts in there.

Hmmm looks like someone forgot to tighten the bolts when they re-installed the driveshaft

Hi Thats good news. A guy needs some luck sometimes. My customers will say to me how come I always give the negative worst option, and price to fix something before I rip it apart.

I always say, If i gave you the cheap not needing any major parts price or shop time. Your gonna be pretty mad, when I call and say we need $3000 to do it. If we both have that figure in mind. one of us (the customer, saving a lot of money) is going to be happy. when it might only be $150 for a bearing and fitting it. when I get in there!. Most times the high side is right, with what comes here guys beat to death for 4 months before calling when it started going wrong, the first day.
Regards Robert

I thought that transfer case chain diagnosis was a reach since you were not in 4x4 at the time. Glad it was simple.

Yep,

Fell clear off. Screwed in some new bolts and we're back in business.

Looks shiny around one hole but the rest that I can see look rusty. I must have run on two or three bolts for awhile. When I find something that's missing a few bolts on my machinery I get all uptight real quick even though it probably ran that way for months before I caught it.

Well, there's your problem. No charge from me for the diagnostics.

Funny, when I read the first post I was thinking that in all the years I was a mechanic and working on 4WDs I don't remember ever seeing a snapped chain.
