I just did this on my 05 a couple of weeks ago and I only have 23,317 on the odo and it had a little wear spot on the transfer case. I used the merchant automotive front pump housing, really nice piece but a little on the spendy side... Also when I did mine, there was about 5 ozs of tranny fluid in the transfer case to tranny adapter, not sure if that is normal. Also I ordered new fill/drain plugs as they are really soft metal. Merchant has them with a magnet for the drain plug. It took my about 3-4 hours to do the work, to change the front of the pump housing. I also replaced the rear bearing because I have heard the plastic seperating the ***** is known to break and ruin the bearing. It was 50 from riverside gear and the new bearing is sealed with more steel ***** to spread the load as well. If you need pics of the old one I can show you what I am talking about.

200k on mine and it just wore the hole through...I ended up buying the new GM clip and epoxied the hole shut.
When I got the case apart everything looked new, bearings looked great everything was pretty nice as far as I could tell.

Since my fluid was red and not blue it was tranny fluid not autotrac II. I might get the dealer to replace it as i have an extended warranty but it wouldn't cover the transfer case until it breaks. The merchant kit is only 100 with everything needed forthe repair. I thought that was a fair price. Also my bearing was fine with 23,000 or so miles but i heard it was an issue so I fixed it at the same time. Now I have piece of mind.... 200 for everything with fluid a new bearing and lock ring pliers.
