How often should the transfer case fluid and front and rear diff fluid should be changed? I have about 23k miles on my truck so far…

Look at the manual.

Personally, I’m doing the rear diff every 30-40k, the front diff/t-case together every 50k, the trans every 75k

Only one way to find out :) .
I have the same warranty schedule as you but only 43k on mine. I just did phasers, plugs, and rear brakes oil.
At 50-60k i plan on doing:
Tires
Check big batt and replace
Check little batt and replace if needed
Trans fluid
Front and rear dif fluid
Tcase fluid
Front brakes with fluid flush
Power steering fluid
Shocks
75k :
Plugs again
Coolant replacement
Air filter
Induction cleaning of intake valves
At 100k:
Tcase fluid
Check trans
Plugs
Various replacBle bushings in suspension
Brake fluid/power steering
Removing the intake and cleaning any oil from pcv etc.
And repeat.
Truck should get at least 25-35k in that condition even w/ 100k miles with those service records and God willing no accidents.
What are these?
Check big batt and replace
Check little batt and replace if needed

Thats funny it says mine is charging for the last 2 months. Time to reset bsm or perhaps trickle charge?
What does it say is charging? There was a glitch in the app that said “plugged in charging” for some people, that can be ignored.

No it says it (charging) on dash in mpg column. Ess hasn't engaged in months. Now i find out there is no separate battery for ess. Its a function of only one battery ( main agm batt). Mopar uses a small lithium sub battery….

Second battery is a Mopar thing, my wife's 20 Rubicon has it and it is a headache, it powers everything during engine shut off at stops and goes bad left and right.
