Default I need to do fluid replacement..transfer case, both diffs, and trans!?

I searched this site pretty hard with out a whole lot of luck. Is there a place to find the procedure for these fluid swaps? Does my local GM dealer do them if I cant get the info I need to do them properly? On a site this big shouldnt there be a DIY section that covers all this info? I would be happy to do photo DIY's for this stuff if it has not been done already.
Sorry for the newb questions.

The local dealer here wanted over $1200 to do what you are talking about. If you have the ability, do it yourself and save some bucks.

My dealer did mine at about 50,000 miles. It was about $300 total.

Okay, got home and pulled the repair order. I was off, it was $469 including $37 state inspection and $25 for a rental car for the day.

$400 is still an OUTSTANDING price to have all 4 of those fluids changed at a dealer!
