Default Fluid Change Time

Im getting ready to change my fluids i think im going with Amsoil and have a few questions. i got my trans rebuilt a little over 10k miles ago and i want to change the fluid/filter is amsoils ATF fluid good enough to be ATF+4 or not ?, also any other suggestions that i should look at/do after a rebuild ? Im also going to be seeing if i cant find someone to weld a nut in so i can put a drain plug, is there some sort of kit or just a random nut/bolt work ?

Also i want to change the oil in the Front/Read Diff do i have the dana 44 or 60 ?
Transfer case where can i find my model ?
And if anyone has any pointers on how to replace the fluids in the differentials or transfer case it would be much appreciated.

I use Lucas oil in the diffs on my truck and my JEEP and in the Xfer case in my JEEP. As for oil in the truck, I use what ever I can afford at the time, but I change that so often I really dont care, the JEEP I use high Milage oil mainly because it is a 30 year old motor.
