ok so since it makes it a lot easier where is the drain plug and the fill spot, and does it fill and drain the xfer case as well or is it seperate?

Page 16 the two plugs with gaskets looks like drivers side.
The Transfer will have it's own drain and fill plug I'm sure, didn't find a picture. It should be easy once you get under there, it's no more complicated then the diffs.

thanks for the info
No problem, check the owners manual for the fluid type and amount I don't know off hand.
To drain your tranny all the way, it would take a machine (dealer). But you can drain most of it. I've done it once with the pages from the repair manual in front of me.
There is a typical drain plug (bolt)on the driver's side of the pan, and the other is a flat hex key design. This is the overflow.
Drain the tranny. I let mine drain overnight. Replace the plug and fill with fluid.The filler hole bolt is a 19mm on the passenger side about half way up. Start the vehicle and cycle through the gears slowly ( about 10 sec, each), then with vehicle running, remove the overflow plug. Fluid should just trickle out. If it doesn't, replace the overflow. Stop vehicle and add about 2 cups of fluid. Repeat as above until it trickles out. Check level after 500 miles.
Fun huh?
