Default Preparing For Winter

I live in MD and last year we received a ton of snow. I used four wheel drive a ton. This weekend I'm going to change the drivetrain fluids. Let me know if I'm forgetting or need to add anything.

Engine Oil
Front and Rear Differentials
Transmission Fluid
Transfer Case Fluid

Do you have the limited slip in your rear diff? You should verify if you do or don't. If you do, then you need some limited slip additive in the diff fluid when you replace it. If not, then you don't

Might be a good time to flush and fill your coolant system, if you haven't done it lately.

Thanks, I do have LS so I'll need the additive. I had the coolant system flushed in the spring so I'm good with that.
