Front Diff: 2 quarts

Rear Diff: 4 quarts

Transfer Case: 2 quarts

Allison Trans.: If you're just removing the drain plug, & changing the filter, 7.4 quarts.

Radiator: Sorry, I can't help you there.

The Allison has 21 quarts total capacity. Changing the trans filter & draining the pan only gets about 30-35% of the old fluid out.

Rear diff is filled at the factory with 3 litres, see other threads.
Given that you don't get it ALL out, 3 quarts will get you back to the factory fill level.

4 quarts might make you feel good, but it also needs some AIR in there (-:

Don't you think he might have already accomplished this task a few months ago? Talk about digging up old posts! :rolleyes:
