At around 60,000 miles the following occurred. No specific event LED to this incident except the transfer pump came loose. When the pump dropped down, this allowed the drive shaft to wear the transfer casing as well. The transfer case and the drive shaft yoke had to be replaced. This was not covered by the warranty.

Bearing in front axles came apart. Causing metals to go through all of the front differential drivetrain. Complete front drivetrain needed to be replaced. Truck was 1500 miles and 2 months out of warranty and dealer could do nothing to help out with cost of repair. This bearing should have not came apart. Fluid levels were good, no leaks, and maint per manufacturers schedule was always performed.
No specific event LED to this incident other than faulty engineering. The pump within my trucks transfer case has worn a hole through the casing. This is a very prevalent problem in this model truck. I have this problem temporarily patched. I just noticed the problem a couple of weeks ago. Here's an example of the problem: http://adaptacase.com/tc236cbrny.html
Injectors number 2 and 7 loose connector and oil pump rubbing through transfer case on chevy silverado hd2500 traveling down the highway pulling a horse trailer the truck went into limp mode and would not keep up with highway speed. Had to pull over on an interstate and attempt a quick repair along the road. Transfer case has not yet caused a problem, however, the aluminum residues in the case oin are very high and when pump goes through case all oil will be lost and the vehicle will stop.
Left rear-axle seal has blown a total of 4 times. The brakes were soaked with axle fluid each time and we were told that it could catch fire if brakes got hot enough. The brakes have smoked, but have not caught fire yet! The axle-seal was replaced by the manufacturer under our warranty. The axle assembly needs to be replaced to stop the problem but, the manufacturer refuses to do this.
