the the T-case is messed up one way or the other.
theres no way for the power to get down to blow the diff. the reason that you cant have 2 different ratios is do to the gears inside the T-case. With to different ratios the driveshafts bind up and can rip apart the insides of the T-case
The unit that is hit first will be destroyed which would be the T-case.
But like i said early in another post. Ford may have some type of safty mechanism in the t-case that if this happens it breaks a less expensive part than destroyin the whole t-case. Thats just a geuss though.

I have never owned a 4x4 and know nothing about them, but common sense tells me that if I change ratios in the rear and not the same in the front, that I have just effectivly made it a 4x2 with a lot of extra weight up front.
