so how do you know its enoth or not ? i know there is a way to check the oil in gearbox but i really dont know yet how we do that ....this is funny case i went to open my gearbox becase my first and four gear was jumping and i found out i had less that half Lt inside and now checking all the pieces everithing is good and nothing damage .. i will have to pay more attencion in future case all my woark now was useless and i presume the problem was only the oil
Manual = fill till it flows out of the fill hole
Automatic = fill till the dipstick reads full (engine on, gearbox in park, warmed up)

Why in the world does my tcase grind as soon as I put it into full time? Or sometimes even part time? It grinds immediately when I put it into drive then ill stop and throw it in neutral and it'll stop and be fine. Why is this lol? Also in part time and full time the shifter seems loose, should it feel tight?

Are you shifting it like the factory recommends?
Here's how the factory suggests you shift the transfer case and I've been doing this since these things were new and I worked at the dealership. Quoted from the owner's manual.
"To engage, shift the transfer case lever from 2H to 4H while the vehicle is moving at any legal speed". I let off the gas, throw the lever, and then tap the gas and let off.
4L position: " To engage, slow the vehicle to 2-3 MPH , shift the transmission to Neutral, then shift the transfer lever to the right and pull firmly rearward to 4L".
