Soon ill be flushing the radiator, changing the oil,changing the trans fluid, changing the fluid in the front and rear diff, and the transfercase.
Ive of course flushed a radiator, changed oil, and changed the trans fluid and filter.
Now this is my first 4x4 so ive never done a front diff or transfercase.
Any helpful imput?
Thanks, Brian

Pretty straight forward there is a drain and fill plug on both of them, just drain it out and fill until it runs out the fill hole.

You may not have a drain plug on the front diff. In which case you will need a little siphon pump to pull the old fluid out. The same pump will make it easier to put new fluid back in.

80w90 GL-5 or 75w90 Synthetic fluid for both the front and rear differentials.
As far as the transfer case goes:
As far as the transfer case goes:
- Dexron III ATF if you have the three button 4wd switch on the dash
- GM Autotrak II if you have the four button 4wd switch on the dash with Auto4wd option
