A turbo shaft can break due to several factors, including material fatigue, excessive temperature, improper lubrication, or mechanical stress beyond its design limits. Over time, repeated thermal cycling and vibrations can weaken the material, leading to failure. Additionally, foreign object damage or manufacturing defects can also contribute to a turbo shaft breakage. Regular maintenance and monitoring can help prevent such failures.
the 2wd turbo 350 has a longer tail shaft NEW ANSWER: The center shaft in a 4x4 transmission is longer then a 2 wheel drive trans. The reason is that it has a transfur case on the end of it, and the center shaft must fit into the transfur case to make it work.
If the seals in the turbo are bad on either side it would cause smoking. A sure way to tell is to inspect the turbo for sings of leakage into either the compressor (intake) or turbine (exhaust) sides of the turbo. EXCESSIVE shaft play can is also a tell-tale sign.

No it will NOT interchange. The 350 and 400 turbo are actually VERY different transmissions.
no it will not fit at all
The rear output shaft from a Turbo 350 transmission is not directly interchangeable with that from a Turbo 400. While both transmissions are used in similar applications, they have different designs and dimensions, including the output shaft length and spline count. If you need to swap shafts, it’s advisable to use the specific shaft designed for each transmission to ensure proper fit and function.

The mine shaft was over 500 feet deep. The shaft of the wagon was broken.
Exhaust gasses drive the shaft as it passes the wheel on the way out of the exhaust system
