Also, 5 quarts of Dexron VI and filter for the transmission.

It is really simple just to drop the pan, change the filter and then refill the 4 or 5 qts you dumped with pan.

To keep the mess to a minimum, I used the pump that I bought for filling the t-case and differentials (Multi-Use Transfer Pump), and pumped the trans fluid out.
IIRC, I had to get a smaller hose (3/8" o.d.? about 4 feet long) to fit down the dipstick/ filler tube.

just bought some at the auto parts store just doesnt seem to be enough

Yes. According to the list by MAY03LT compiled: http://gmtnation.com/f79/drivetrain-fluids-specifications-197/

You'll need 5.3 pints (3.6 for the rear and 1.7 for the front) for your 2004.

This information and a lot more... It's all in your owners manual.
