    So Well I was under my truck changing the fluid in my transfer case I noticed that it was not mounted to the frame. it looks like there is suppose to be 4 bolts that hold it in place but those holes dont match up. Wondering if this could be why my truck has a harsh engagement from reverse to drive? I was thinking about trying to put a couple u bolts on it to keep it in place, so im really wondering is my transfer case suppose to not be mounted, or did the last person who tinkered with the transfer case just half ass his job?

    (arrow in the photo is pointing to under the transfer case where it is not bolted to the frame.)

    That definitely doesn't look right. Looks like your bushing is pretty beat up as well...

    ...too much shit to list.
    Yes the four holes on the bottom of the crossmember are supposed to have 4 bolts running into the bottom of the mount.
    Yes that can be your harsh engagement.
    And yes, that mount is shot and its time for a new one.

    Thank You! Now I just need to know what size bolts those 4 are.
