Transfer Case Came Apart

I've also got this posted over at DTR, but I'm hoping I can get some valuable information by posting it multiple places. If you see it over there too, I apoligize if it bothers you.

At a red light, 4 wheel drive High range, 3400 rpm, 2nd gear clutch dump, and shortly after take-off there were some horrible noises. Pulled over with fluid draining onto the ground. Towed it home and found transfer case pretty much broke in half, about 3 inches back from where it mounts to the transmission. I can see some planetary gears in there, and there is about 1.5 inches of separation. Not sure exactly what happened here. Anybody got any ideas? I am sure the input shaft is still together. When I had this remanufactured transmission put in my truck 30 thousand miles ago, I had the 5th gear nut tacked onto the mainshaft to prevent it from coming off. Since I've not heard of many transfer case failures, is it safe to assume something went wrong with my transmission mainshaft? Any help here would be greatly appreciated. What transfer case should I go back with? Does anybody have a spare? Dad is coming over tomorrow to help me pull it all down to see if the tranny itself suffered any damage as well.
