i looked in the service guide and at 45K it mentions nothing about this?
we barley use the 4x4 option...just in the winter. should i change the fluids?
can't i get the same results to strip carbon by using seafoam?

For the filters...IF they do both, that's actually not a bad price, but you still could do it cheaper (assuming OEM parts) yourself...order parts online.
For diff service/transfer case...unless you do a lot of off roading (mud, water, etc.) follow your owner's manual.
Carbon build up...unless it is a GDI, I would just do an 'Italian tuneup' once in a while and use good gas.
If you don't use your 4x4 actuators once in a while, they might get 'stuck' depending on what region of the county you live in. About every 6 months to a year, I would go out in a nice flat empty parking lot and put the vehicle through all the 4x4 modes just to 'exercise' the actuators and servos.
