I am sure these questions have been asked before, but I want to start doing my own maintenance. My truck has always been dealer serviced, and I don't want to screw anything up. I want to change the front diff fluid, where is the drain plug and fill plug? And where are the drain and fill plugs on the transfer case? I also plan on changing the rear diff fluid. Do I need any special tools, hoses or funnels? How much fluid goes in the front/rear diffs and the transfer case? I plan on using Amsoil Severe Gear synthetic 75w90 in the diffs and Amsoil 5w30 synthetic motor oil in the transfer case. Thanks in advance for your help.

I looked at my front diff today. There is a white vent cap on the driver's side towards the top of the diff. Then I saw two more bolts or plugs, one is on the bottom, and one is about half way up. Are these two bolts/plugs the fill and drain? Could someone please post pics, I don't have a camera. Thanks.
