Yeah, I would think it was 4lo and that locks up the t-case. The system operates similar to the H2.

I am curious if it popped the ring gear totally or if it spun some teeth off. If it shattered the ring under those circumstances, that could be a problem. I could possibly see losing a tooth off a gear and it failing that way but it's so odd that it happened on 2 of the same vehicles at the same obstacle.

There may not be enough teeth on the ring and pinions.
