Exploded Transfer Case

Bought a broken down 2000 EX. See thread:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...x-worth-2.html

I got it cheap because transfer case exploded.

Hubs in auto but locked in, switch on dash was in 2wd.
Drivers side front tire much lower pressure than others.
Previous owner serviced transfer case last year with Mercon V



Guess all three of the above factors may have played a role...as Ford now says to use XL-12 in our transfer cases NOT mercon V.

These seem to be popping up more lately. Will have to swap out my Mobil ATF for the correct stuff soon.

That doesn't look like a lubrication issue
