Do you have an owners manual? If not, I would suggest getting one, they are readily available and cheap on ebay....They work wonders for reducing/eliminating dumb questions...

You can download the parts and service manuals in the DIY section if you would like. They are free.. Before you go out and get new fluid for the t-case I would be sure to check and see if you can get the plugs to come loose.. You dont wanna go spend the money on fluid to find out they wont come out

Atleast you have a working transfer case.. Be sure to download the manuals for any future reference or questions.
