Off the top of my head, I recall 3 quarts in the front diff... 4 in the rear.

I don't know about the tranny.

Amsoil is an excellent choice for both. Schaeffers is another for the diffs.

The regular Mopar ATF +4 is good as well for the tranny.

For the tranny use Amsoil MTF. Dump in 6 qts.

For the rear you can use 75w-90, 75w-110 or 75w-140.

Front 75w-90.

not for the NV5600, from the 05 manual:

NOTE: DaimlerChrysler recommends using MoparT lubricants or lubricants of equal quality.
