I can't help but wonder what would be your first clue something was wrong if you were towing that Jeep. It seems a bit extreme, to not know something was wrong, but then again there are a lot of clueless people out there. Cheers!

The engine revved so high that the crankshaft sheared off, sending the two rear-most pistons and rods through the block. The clutch and flywheel also went flying through the transmission's bell housing and lopped off its input shaft...

...the final bill of replacement parts is close to cresting $30,000, and that doesn't include labor.
