It sounds like it’s time for a diagnosis from a transmission shop or a GM specialist.

When did the GMC chain drive transfer case come out?

For 1973, GM introduced the heavy, cast iron, NP203 chain-drive, full-time transfer case and used it on most automatic transmission equipped trucks through the 1979 model year. Despite it’s extreme weight and rugged front range section, the 3-section NP203 was overall a fairly weak unit due in part to it’s chain drive and inner-axle differential.

What kind of oil does the transfer case take?

The fluid is probably 75w-90 in front and rear, maybe 80w-90, and ATF in the transfer case. Total scam. Drain and fill will be just fine if everything is working ok. The front and rear differential takes synthetic gear oil, the transfer case takes about 3qt of Auto Trak II fluid if you have an auto 4WD button, or ATF if you do not.
