Have you confirmed what it was?

99% of time, such symptoms are caused by transfer case (it has the least amount of oil and had tendency to leak from the driveshaft yoke - NOT a good combination!).

I mentioned it on page 1, the t-cse drain plug fell out, dropped all the oil, and seized. I just got my replacement last night and will be installing it tonight if all goes as planned.

Sorry, I missed that with that talk of rear end . But once you start talking loosing plugs, that can happen on anything.

I once seized a rear end about 2 miles from my house, when I forgot to refill it... Well, I didn't forget, I asked my friend who sold it to me and he assured me it was full, I neglected to check it. That aside, I can't recall another story of DSM rear end seizing.

No worries. I'm just glad I found the problem and I'm heading to install the new t-case in a few minutes. Got lucky and found it for only $120, and didn't even have to pay to ship it. Got exactly what the seller promised it was and couldn't be happier. Will definitely not forget to enaure the drain is torqued down properly this time.
