It could have lost a tooth for one reason or another, mucked up the clearances, then as the damage from the broken pieces spread, caused the heat damage you describe. When I was doing my rebuild, an experienced tech told me to avoid made in china planetary assemblies at all cost. They are not OEM quality and have a reputation for failing. There was a video comparing OEM to the China replacement on youtube, I can not find it now. Either way not a huge difference now as even one rotation with a broken tooth probably would have required the replacement of the same parts.

Anything is possible. One thing I know it's not from is abuse, which is what the shop tried claiming yesterday. Stuck to my guns as far as never beating on the truck and little to no towing in the roughly 22k miles since it was rebuilt. That's where things left off at this point, hoping for good news today. But I have a suspicion they may try to put it on me still. Time to hurry up and wait.
