According to my service manual, which is for my 96, your 4x4 rear takes 10.1 PINTS, or 4.79 Liters. For a 2wd it is 6.8 pints.

When I changed mine Dana 80 on my 2500 it took not quite 6 quarts. Plus a little friction modifier.

No, its a 70 but I would assume the capacity for gear lube is similar.

My 2500 has a Dana 80, it is not the 70, I checked my vin# with the dealer just to make sure.

You're right about that, it is in the DRW trucks, but also in the HO's that are 3/4 ton. I love rubbing it my roommie's face about his "small" little rear axle!
