Sounds like you did it correctly; however, be careful, this additional fluid is only for early vehicles.
Subject: Inventory Upgrade - Transfer Case Fluid Fill #05550 - (06/01/2005)
Models: 2006 HUMMER H3
From Start of Production to
5GTDN136968105387
Attention: This upgrade should be performed on affected vehicles currently in your inventory prior to sale or delivery.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Condition
The four-wheel drive transfer case fluid fill specification has been revised to improve performance.
Upgrade
Dealers are to add DEXRONŽIII fluid to the transfer case.
Make sure your vehicle falls inside this VIN range.
For anyone else, if you fall into that VIN range, call the dealer and have them check your VIN history to make sure the fill was adjusted. If not, have the dealer add fluid. If you are too far from a dealer, or hate going to the dealer, just crawl under with a few wrenches and some fluid.
Procedure is simple, pull the fill plug, make sure the fluid is at the bottom of the fill plug hole; if not add until it is.
Install fill plug and tighten to 25 Nˇm (18 lb ft).
Remove vehicle speed sensor at top of T/case, then add 250 ml (8.45 oz) of DEXRONŽIII fluid.
Install VSS and tighten to 17 Nˇm (13 lb ft).
Before anyone asks, this added fluid is for the shift fork and high/low range sleeve that engages the input shaft to the mainshaft in 4-lock modes. So, if not doing a lot of 4-lock there will never be a problem. Even if doing Moab once or twice, it should not affect the shaft or sleeve. If, after a few years of doing the Moab area a few times, you might have some premature wear, and I say "might."
Unless someone has been driving up and down Hell's revenge everyday for the past six months, I cannot see any problems. So, check your VIN, and if required, check with the dealer or check it yourself.
At least you don't have to jack up the vehicle, and put it on jack stands to slide underneath.
