Transmission Failure while towing NV5600

OK here goes....... 04 3500 dually pulling a trailer that is 15-20K lbs most of time.... truck now has 216K miles and has never gone through a full tank of fuel with out a load.....

On the way back from Missoula MT yesterday..... 70 mph on the interstate....heard a bad pounding sound from under the truck..... and had to limp into a small town off the interstate..... 2-3 miles or so....

Called the shop and had another truck come with a flat deck trailer to haul the truck home on.... and a local logger on the way to Spokane hauled my trailer back for us..... Gave him a 100 buck tip for the trouble.....

Pulled the transmission this morning..... Pile of metal in the bottom of the case... Closest exhange unit is in Boise and is $2800.00

No clue on the cause..... we've changed the tranmission fluid our self every 50K or so... and did it about 3 or 4 weeks ago.... We've always used and approved fluid....

The stage 1 clutch we installed at 100K miles looks almost new... but we're changing the release bearing and pilot bearing to be on the safe side...
