Yup mine has a crack all the way around. My brother was going 55 and the truck started hopping because he didnt retighten them after he redid the clutch and trans. I just ordered the new piece for it and it was only $55 plus my time. I'll take a picture of it when I get it off.

Yea my old 97 5 speed cracked where it meets with the transfer case...i guess you can buy the adapter seperatley instead of buying a new case but I am not positive.

Is it the tranny or the bell housing? 2wd or 4wd? In any case replace your engine mounts and tranny mount while you at it.

Wow. I have read about that happening on the e40d also. The bell housing cracked on the 86. Poor truck was never the same again. Take some pics if you can and post em up. Are the cases aluminum or cast iron?

Same place mine is. You dont even have to drop the tranny. Just remove the crossmember and remove the broken one and put the new one on.
