Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Dana 80 2WD vs 4WD fluid capacity

[Bobcat698]

I was reading on Dodgeram.org and it seems that they list 2 different fluid capacities for Dana 80 axles. .

Axles found on 2WD trucks have less fluid capacity. . Is this true, and if so, why would it make any difference?



Seems like more hassle, keeping track of 2WD & 4WD axles.



I bought a Dana 80 out of a 2WD truck. . Should I be worried about the decreased fluid capacity?



Here are the specs I found:

4x2 6. 8 pints ( 3. 22 L ) 3. 4 Quarts

Thanks in advance!
