Putting synthetic in,roll under truck,1qt in.2qt in, maybe 8oz from 3rd qt then oil runs out fill plug..hmm!!. I had a empty gal. jug so I pour old oil in and wow!! Almost a full gallon of old oil..I can only get 21/2qts in. That's with the rear jacked up.. Any thoughts!!

Welcome to guzzle's Transfer Case Fluid Change Web Page
This says that the transfer case holds 2qts.

Could it be possible that the rear seal or front seal on transfer case is leaking causing the transfer case to overfill??.. Going to drive it and keep an eye on oil level.. if it fills again time for a split I guess
