Interesting question
You might be able to split the cases in the truck but to do the repair would be very very difficult, you need the case on a work surface where you can keep track of parts, catch fluid, and align the two halves and parts to put it back together. I think this would be near impossible in the truck.
The V6 case in held in place with 5 bolts
drain case
remove front and rear driveshafts
unhook wiring for shift motor and vss sensors. Unpin the brown wire if needed (or cut it)
Unclip the transfer case vent tube
remove the 5 t case bolts
The top most bolt on the passenger side is the most difficult to reach because the exhaust is in the way, it can be gotten to with a 3/8" ratchet, extension and 13mm wobbly socket
The V6 t case is pretty light, I almost always drop them and stab them by hand, no jacks needed.
You should get a new gasket and iof course fluid for when you re install
