Default Damage from Towing behind RV?

Hey,

We just purchased a 1998 Blazer LT that had been towed behind an RV. It had a Remco rear drive shaft that could disengage but I am more worried about the front transfer case and if there was any damage caused due to the vehicle being towed. The hubs obviously don't disengage so the front diff and the transfer case would have been turning the whole time. My only concern is how oil gets circulated (by a pump in the transfer case maybe?).

Thanks.

also the chain splashing around lubricates it. if the transfercase was left in 2wd or neutral i wouldnt see any problems, but who knows what the previous owner did
