You know you can pick up a tilt meter at Central 4 wheel drive for 10 bucks.
I'm glad you're getting your rig fixed.
I took mine in for a clunk in the transfer case once when it was new, and when they put in 4 wheel drive in the shop, it blew up all over the floor.
I considered myself lucky, and told the guys it couldn't have happened in a better place!
Glad you made it out safely.
