I bought a used t case from Yellowchevy on duramax diesels. He just about gave it to me. There were no rebuild kits available then.

@smokinlmm I looked at used t-cases and holy smokes they are not cheap. Rebuilding it costs a tenth of what it would be to just buy a unknown used one.
I do see that there is an updated shift fork part number. I don't really know what the difference is between the two or when/why it came out. I'll have to do some digging.

I added fluid and no change, still same issue. I checked for codes and there are no codes. I would imagine that if this was the transmission it would feel different and also throw codes.
I've pulled the driveshafts and dc'd the electrical and skid plate. I will need to buy a trans jack before I continue.

Mine can still move.

I found something last night that I must have overlooked when I first checked.
The entire time the truck shuddered and shook when I was reversing it felt like it was coming from behind me. I had previously gone over the brakes to make sure everything was there and working but I must have overlooked something. I found the top caliper bolt missing from the driver side bracket. I must have looked right at it and it didn't register. Which is funny/not funny because I was specifically looking for bracket bolts still being attached. I have a new bolt coming and I will refill with ATF and do a test drive on Wednesday.
Also I did not torque these properly, apparently they are supposed to be 221 ft lbs with red loctite. I only did something like 85 no loc tite. I must have misread the torque spec.
The brightside is I would never have known the t-case had no fluid in it lol
