Been having a noise randomly. Drained the T- case today and found this. Any idea wear it could be before I split it.  It's coming apart either way,  just not sure it'll be tonight. 

Are you sure that it's plastic?

 

The only components internally that have any kind of plastic like material, is the oil pickup tube inlet screen, and the shift fork pads, but that chunk of material doesn't look like it's from those internal parts.

 

Can you just grab them with a pair of long needle nose pliers, or a 3 finger grab it tool and pull them out through the drain hole?

It was the pick up. It split apart somehow. Tube was bouncing around in the case.

What's this for? To order parts? This is the 2nd transfer case I've put in it. Shelled out 2 DLD's before I got ahold of a DHD. I've got another pickup screen that will work. I'm just stumped on how it happend. I know that I had the screen in the slots when I reassembled after doing the rebuild.  

 

Some things just don't make sense. 

It's just a link for transfer case parts. Usually they have them in stock and ready to ship out.
