Well, today I started pulling it all apart.
here is what i found, looks like a torque tube that goes from the center diff to the transfer case shattered, cracking the TC cover, bearing race, outer torque tube, and wedged into the TC carrier. the end of the tube is still down in the center diff. tomorrow when i get to the shop ill check the spiders in the TC carrier.

pics...

If you preload on the e-brake this type of failure usually won't happen unless you are making lots of torque.

Call Shep and tell them about your situation. John is knowledge and can replace that case and probably other parts too. Goodluck.
