Hey all. I have a buddy of mine doing some maintenance to my truck before landscaping season starts. He asked me to run out and buy some fluid. I have a 97 k1500 with a 5.0. It's a short bed. I need to know what fluid I need for the front and rear diff, as well as the transfer case. Advice from the experts here would be very helpful. Thank you.

It’s been real
Just ask the auto parts store. They can look it up for you.
Front and rear diffs are GL5 rated 80W-90 with no friction modifiers. Transfer case is Dexron 3 if you don't have the "Auto" button for the 4WD, GM AutoTrak 2 if you do.

What fluid for if you have the electronic shifter? Electronic shift is what you mean by auto right?
GM DEXRON IIIH
Same as your Automatic transmission fluid.
Am I turned around here? I thought this is what we use for the rear diff:

Yes, your right, got mixed on my comment threads.
K1500 4x4... attached is a RPO code sheet with all the options.
Regarding the owners manual picture, I have checked that, and just wanting to verify, etc... I can't remember what it was for, but I was watching a youtube video fluid change and they said that 'xyz' fluid no longer made so it is now 'abc' fluid. So owners manual info was out of date.
