A few things to consider:

  • Each maker has a recommended service interval
  • Trucks that go through creeks and such may contaminate the fluid, it should be checked for contamination and changed as needed after each use.
  • Trucks that see sever duty, Off road, towing etc should be serviced much more often that recommended by the maker.

How can I return to 2 wheel drive from 4 wheel drive on my 2004 jeep liberty?

While the Jeep is moving 50mph or less, press the transfer case shift lever all the way forward/down into 2WD. The transfer case should release it by the time you slow to a stop - sometimes half a mile or so. If it doesn't, the transfer unit may need fluid, a fluid change, or adjustment. There could also be a similar problem with the front differential (axle drive gears).


How often should transfer case and differential be serviced when using four wheel drive daily?

When refering to "service" I assume you mean fluid change and/or check. I check my fluid every oil change and change my fluid twice a year. Granted i use mine very hard offroad. I also prefer running synthetic fluid, but check with a dealership and make sure yours doesn't take a special lubricant.

No, you WILL lose fluid out of the rear tailshaft extension of the transfer case. If you MUST drive without one, stuff a rag in the tailshaft extension and check the transfer case fluid after you re-install a shaft.
