4.8qts for the tranny although I and alot of others prefer to add 1 extra qt.To do this you must remove the shifter and fill it from the top.

2.37qts on the front axle

2.65qts on the 10.5" rear and 3.81qts on the 11.5 rear

I used 7qts for my differentials, 3 in the front and 4 in the rear. I have the 11.5 housing on the rear axle. I just changed mine last weekend after putting 60K on it since the last time and the fluid was just as clean as what I put in so I will be extending my drain interval next time.
