That's a ring gear not gears inside the transfer case but shredded for sure But yeah @Snacktime has some recent experience with that.This is what I call shredded. This was my 19 ranger. same case.

I only have the rear lockers on my non SAS black diamond, but I did engage them as soon as I realized the wheels were spinningFor the snow did you have the lockers engaged ?
Front & Rear ?
If stuck in snow I'd go 4-Low and engage both front & rear lockers. Then not too heavy on the gas as @Brian_B mentionedWell that’s gnarly. So aside from trying to avoid spinning the tires how does one avoid doing this?
Oh, no front locker. And you did engage the rear lockerI only have the rear lockers on my non SAS black diamond, but I did engage them as soon as I realized the wheels were spinning

Now if only there was some kind of setting for such instances like a GOAT mode or something that would decide what is best to take some of the guess work out of the equation (jk).4H in the bronco in snow at higher speeds sounds like a time bomb, seeing a bunch of failures reported over the last week whether its spitting the FDU out or transfer case. Me thinks 4A (or slower at 4L) would be a better choice since it uses the clutches.
fully kicking myself for not using the GOAT modes. I think part of me just brushed them off as a fancy gimmick. Guess I know better nowNow if only there was some kind of setting for such instances like a GOAT mode or something that would decide what is best to take some of the guess work out of the equation (jk).
On a side note, that does help with certain things, but ya know owners don't read the manual. Point in fact, if you put a brapter in baja mode it reduces the sensitivity of the air bags which I thoroughly testedNow if only there was some kind of setting for such instances like a GOAT mode or something that would decide what is best to take some of the guess work out of the equation (jk).

That's a good thing. A guy here was at Pismo (Oceano Dunes) back in Oct that tested out his drivers air bag. Turned out to be a $2K experienceOn a side note, that does help with certain things, but ya know owners don't read the manual.

Sorry for the salt & thankfully they are covering it for you .fully kicking myself for not using the GOAT modes. I think part of me just brushed them off as a fancy gimmick. Guess I know better now
we can all laugh at me because I’m definitely laughing at myself *
* only because it’s being repaired under warranty
4hWere you in 4HI or 4A? Snow wheeling is hard on rigs, but it's usually the transmission of cooling systems that have issues.
Are bet this is the Advanced transfer case? This is one reason why I'm not interested in the Sasquatch package. The standard transfer case is just a gear box, unlike the complicated advanced unit which has clutch packs.I was on about a year ago with the exact same issue after driving in the snow. Was five miles out and had a transfer case failure. Well last week I was on another snow run, 4h (no, not on pavement) and when I got home I noticed a rotational clunking noise when in 2h. Took it in to the dealer (praying it was just the CV joint or a torn boot) and it’s the transfer case again.
For reference I have a 4dr 10spd 6cyl black diamond, non SAS. Zero aftermarket upgrades except the RTR grill. Just curious if anyone else has had the transfer case fail more than once. Fortunately they extended my warranty last time.
I mean I’ve really put this thing through the paces, white rim trail in Moab, unimproved BLM land through Nevada, hairy roads in the lost sierras, and then one time in the snow I’m out a transfer case again?
seeking advice or reassurance. I’ve thought about asking for a buy back but with the current auto loan interest rates and increase in vehicle prices I’m loathe to have to be in the market for a new car.
Ehhh . . . GOAT modes are overrated - mostly a miragefully kicking myself for not using the GOAT modes. I think part of me just brushed them off as a fancy gimmick. Guess I know better now . . .
