How do I stop my transfer case from pumping oil into the 5 speed transmission

I am not familiar with your model. If everything else is ok it could be there should be an oil flinger disc to keep the majority of transfer case oil away from the seal when in operation. If this has been left out the result could be as you described otherwise if there is no possibility of pressure/vacuum in either unit and the levels are ok there should be no exchange of oil. The fact there is an exchange of oil and only the seal stands between the units then oil must be passing the seal. It would seem the seal is either not man enough for the job or is the wrong design. I don't know what an Fr9n seal looks like but the application demands either two seals back-to-back or a single seal providing a similar two spring-loaded lip design. Is it possible the seal is being fitted the wrong way around...

Wasn't charging. changed battery and alternator. by the gauge it shows 14 volts but with the truck running and i unhook the battery it dies.

Not on new vehicles , you never ever pull a battery cable while it is running ! A voltage spike can take out electronic components ! That was 60's an maybe a few 70's vehicles ! That change when they started using transistors in voltage regulators an in engine modules. If it is show 14 volts it's charging ! I will send a link on how you test the charging system.

How do I test the actuary switch used to engage the front axle for a 1996 GMC pickup with 4 wheel drive

Not sure if you mean the switch or the actuator. The switch can be tested with a test lamp or ohm meter, while the actuator will likely have to be removed and inspected.

How I remove the rev limiter from a 1996 chevy pick up 5.7 litre

It's in the program. You can buy a programmer from many sources and reprogram it yourself. What these things do is raise the rpm limit to increase horsepower and torque. The reason for a limiter in the first place is to guard against overrevving the engine and destroying it.

After ideling for fifteen minutes water is still dripping from the tail pipe

Check coolant level if you are not loosing coolant you do not have a major problem. The catalytic convertor is doing its job the parts inside the convertor reducing the bad air to good at and water . Like the other guy said if your radiator does not have an oily white slime and you do not smell a sweet odour from tail pipe or a blue cloud, it's just your muffler system is just cooling down, could get more technical but that would not be needed. K I S S rule.
