Edit: interesting. What, exactly, blew up? There's been a lot of talk about how much of a difference the VC can handle. The ratio of 1.090 to 1.074 would suggest that it can't take much of a difference at all, if the VC was involved in the failure.
Of course, there's a tiny torque bias to the rear built into all 2Gs. Yes, it's tiny, but if you work it out, the final drive ratio to the rear is slightly higher than that to the front. And putting a 1.090:1 transfer case on a car that should have had a 1.074:1 would make this difference even larger. Is that would you believe caused your failure?
