Hit 60,000 miles a few weeks ago so I did some maintenance. Oil, trans, transfer case, front and rear diff and brake fluids. The fluids were just over $300 and I did it myself in about 3.5 hours. Just bought new tires also- Michelin Defender LTX in the OEM 275/65/20 size.
Used these fluids:
Oil: M-1 5W30 EP (7.5 qts)
Trans: Motorcraft Mercon LV (8 qts for drain/fill)
Xfer Case: M-1 Synthetic ATF (2.5 qts)
Rear Diff: Valvoline 75W140 (3.5 qts)
Front Diff: M-1 75W90 (2.5 qts)
Brakes: DOT 3 (2 qts)
Can I ask why you used Mobil 1 fluids on the front diff & T-case but Valvoline on the rear diff and then Motorcraft ATF in the trans?
I'm also planning to use 5w30 engine oil for future changes.

Trans fluid: Nothing and I mean nothing aftermarket I could find is licensed Mercon LV. I just went with the Motorcraft ATF...the fluid is only $6.xx per quart. Got it at O'Reilly's.
Bought Valvoline gear oil because that's what O'Reilly's had. They did not have M-1 in 75W140 and I wasn't going to look everywhere for it. That stuff is $22/qt
