I was rolling through some barriers on the Air Force base I live on and when I went to accelerate the truck, just went way up in rpms. I was in the truck with my 3 month old daughter and wife and thought I had just blown a tire till I heard the driveshaft slamming around under the truck. It tore apart the transfer case and the yoke on the rear end. Insurance did not cover it with every excuse they could find. Ended up having to repair the truck myself with a lot of money out of my pocket.
