Why do you need a fitting in the first place? Are you filling through the drain instead of the fill plug?

First of all, why are you filling it with the drain instead of the fill plug? Secondly, how are you going to know when it is full? No offense but I really dont understand your need/desire so please enlighten me...

Pretty much what my follow-up question was going to be.

I guess you could take the "FILL" plug out too. Then when it starts coming out the "FILL" hole it's full. This bring us to the next question?

Agreed.

Just keep track of how much oil you've put in. When it starts to back out the fill plug and you know you haven't put in the amount you need to, wait 5 minutes, then continue. I also give each wheel a rotation by hand. It's really not that complicated, and no need to make a mess by trying to fill through the drain plug.

Me too, works well and once you have all the parts, I'd reccommend keeping them in a Ziploc bag and set it aside so you have everything ready to go next time (and the parts will be cleaner this way too)

I'm thinking a union coming off the transfer case, then and elbow and enough hard piping to get out from under the car, then another elbow and enough piping to get up to convenient pouring height, then maybe a couple of adapters to upsize the pipe so I won't have to pour into a tiny hole. Menards, here I come.
