Transfer Case Problems of Chevrolet K1500

I was driving down the highway at 65 mph and my transfer case on my four wheel drive threw itself into 4 low. Which caused my truck to skid out of control . I managed to gain control of my vehicle and pull of onto the shoulder where I disconnected the box that controls the transfer case. This gave me two wheel drive which got me home. But I am afraid to hook the box back up in fear of killing myself or others if this should happen at high speed again.

At 70,000 miles the transmission on my 1996 chevy z71 went out, which also took the transfer case out. The truck was always maintained on time and babied. I have owned it since it was new. Of course the warranty is up so I am stuck with the bill. I have been researching online and I am not the only one with the same problem. These problems seem to be very common among 96-98 owners. Calling gm does nothing. Please force them to do something about this problem.

After coming to a stop after driving on freeway with transmission hot vehicle will slam hard into 2nd gear upon acceleration from initial stop. Dealers are recommending transmission replacements and or expensive repairs. Numerous web sites show owners complaining about this as early as 40k miles. I have contacted gm but fail to acknowledge any problem even though they have a service bulletin out that states quote: "the condition may be caused by a slip-stick condition between the propeller shaft slip yoke and transfer case output shaft" corporate bulletin # 99-04-21-001 and I believe this to be the case with my and many others vehicles.
