At least on the 80 (and I assume on the 100 as well) there are zerks on the shaft (slip joint). If he hit one of those, and enough grease was going in to actually fill the tube and cause the shaft to extend, then it is too full and will not be able to compress adequately with suspension travel, causing possible catastrophic shock load to the T-case under the right circumstances.
