Put the front of the truck up on ramps, do the front diff first, then remove the fill/check plug on the transfer case and drain the t-case.
Then refill the t-case and replace the fill/check plug.
Now put the rear of the truck up on your ramps, top off the t-case, then drain and fill the rear diff.
You will want a hand pump, it will cost you about $10 at any store from the sutomotive section.
Like Mike said, 7 qts of gear lube will be needed.
The diffs and t-case are full when fluid comes out of the fill/check hole.
And make darn sure that you top off the t-case after you put the back of the truck up on ramps because it will be to low on fluid if you only fill it with the front of the truck up on ramps.
Then refill the t-case and replace the fill/check plug.

Before you do the t/case, find the fill plug first or you won't be able to refill it.
Also on all e, when you remove the drain plugs, look at the magnetics and make sure there are no chunks of metal.
What about the tranny, when was the filter last changed? Does the tranny oil look real brown, maybe smell burned?
