There are so many shims spacers and bearings in the 5 ton transfer case. It (the debris) could be from any one of them. Change your oils, Add molyslip. Just keep a general eye on things..

Thing is..I watch these videos, and it always amazes me that "they" don't run over, or crash into submerged bikes, motorcycles, cars, and other obstacles. I never hear them voice any concerns at all..I would MOST certainly be concerned. The boundaries of the roads can not be discerned even..Or...
