2) Labor: $105.00
B . Differential Service:
1) M/T Fluid, 75W-80: $17.36
2) A/T Fluid, SPIII: $9.94
3) Labor: $105.00
C. Transfer Case Service:
1) LSD Gear Oil, SAE-90: $17.11
2) Labor: $36.00
D. Synthetic Oil Change: (It was within 100mi of 5000)
1) Oil: $36.25
2) Oil Filter $7.71
3) Labor: $14.95
E. Tire Rotation: $19.95 (They did actually need it)

I would suggest changing the tranny fluid more often than every 2.5 years and 27000 miles.
Sounds like they did the basic maintenance. I'm surprised they didn't charge you more for the t-case service.
Did they not change the SST filter? They better have. That thing is shot by now.

switch to motul trans fluid on your next service with a stainless lifetime filter from ssp. Adding a trans cooler at stock power wouldn't be a bad idea either, the stock one is useless.

I've read extensively about the TC-SST-
Only use the OEM fluid or SSP Pro Gold. There have been reports that other fluids can wear out the gel protecting the submerged electronics. This could lead to problems later.
The SSP stainless steel filter is high quality, and will last forever. I have one.
Change the fluid and filter (or clean SSP filter) before the first 5K miles, and every 15k or so after that. That may be a bit more frequent than is necessary, especially since OP never tracks or anything.
I'm guessing since the OP didnt come back, the TC-SST and diff maintenance fixed his issue.
