If it's Selectable 4WD, Then use SAE 80W90 GL- 5 gear oil.
If it's Full-Time 4WD, Then use SAE 75W90 synthetic gear oil.
The differential fluid on a Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 needs to be changed every 50,000 miles for normal highway driving. If the vehicle is used in 4x4 regularly, then change the differential fluid about every 25,000 to 30,000 miles.
The Chevrolet Tahoe was produced from the years 1992 to present. The type of fluid that is used for the front differential for a 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe is called the SAE 80W-90.
The drive axels can be removed & replaced individually. If you've actually broken the front differential housing you will need to get the gear ratio and find out what kind of diff you have in the truck and make a trip to the wrecking yard and get a used one and replace the diff. as a complete unit.
Inside the tube next to the front differential there is a sleeve that is actuated over the gear locking the diff into 4x4. You can see a plastic cover over the motor used to engage the lock.
Assuming you mean the front differential, API GL-5, viscosity SAE 80W-90 Limited-Slip Differential (LSD) gear oil. If you mean the transfer case, Dextron III/Mercon is used.
I'm sure one with the right tools could fabricate it to work.... But for the general, the answer would be NO. The front is a different type of gear system. It also used different axles and mounts differently.
It depends on the year. from 2003 to about 2005 they used 5w30. After that they used 5w20.
The front axle on these trucks have a mechanical actuator that locks the front differential in. They have used vacuum, thermal and mechanical means for this. The mechanical is the most reliable. This is a common fail point on the Chevys/GMCs. It is located on the front axle next to the differential.

To send more pressure to the front wheels, where it is needed.
On the 1997 Ford F150, the differential could be in both the front and rear. From 1997 and on Ford used two different axles. Your truck could either have the 8.8 or 9.75 differential. If you have a rear differential you would need to lower your spare tire to have access to it.
That will depend on how the vehicle is used and what the manufacture recommends. It could be as soon as every 20,000 miles or as long as 100,000+
