12.7 series 60 chunk of metal on drain plug

I was being nice and not saying a word about it coming from the flywheel or tranny I know that its not from those for obvious reasons.

As i have been sitting here thinking about where the piece came from I remember that when the truck was idling Thursday it sounded a little rough with that in mind I'm leaning towards the bull gear. Just waiting for the snow,sleet and freezing rain to stop so I can go pull the parts off to check due to shop to put the truck in working on it in the driveway SUCKS.

 

I pulled the acc drive today found NOTHING bull gear looked fine found the problem when I pulled the power steering pump the drive gear exploded for the pump. It cracked the air compressor drive gear as well now its a waiting game for parts going to drop the pan and use a magnet to try to get all the metal out I can without pulling the bull gear cover.

 

I should of pulled the pan before I posted the whole bull gear needs to be replaced Crank gear is missing a tooth as well. If I'm going to tear into it this deep might as well do it right and do a inframe just what I didn't want to do this time of the year with a dump truck, with no hour meter on it I have no clue how many hours are on the motor this way I will basically have a new motor.

 

I backed off the in-frame for now the $22,000 for a in-frame and 2-3 weeks to get it back (From Detroit) will kill me so I'm going to just replace the bullgear that's still going to cost $11,000 and wont have the truck till next Friday at the earliest hope I haven't lost my spot on the job for this winter

 

Heres the part that failed the coupler from the powersteering to air compresser
