Not real good for it but it sounds like no major damage was done. I'd probably not let him drive my truck again but not worry too much about it after that.
I did find that there's a spot in the super duty transfer cases between 2wd and 4 high where it will drive forward but isn't totally shifted into either range and no indicator lights are lit... but you get a loud bang and it ends up in neutral pretty quick.
Curious why 4 high would do that. The way that read, it sounded more like it got slammed into park or 4 low to do that much damage... 2wd to 4 high can be done at highway speeds. Most of the old full time 4x4 trucks had the front wheel drive components spinning all the time anyway. Obviously it's not good for anything to drive around on dry pavement in 4x4 with the hubs locked but it shouldn't blow up everything.I once had an F550 pipe-hauler land in my bay after it had been driven out of the oil field onto the highway and gotten bumped (manual t-case) into 4-hi at 65 MPH with the hubs (manual hubs) still locked in.
