fluid capacity

[mjjohnson]

Can anyone tell me what the capacity of my nv5600 is. I just recently bought a 2003 dodge ram 3500 5. 9L cummins and would like to change all fluids. Also, front and rear diffs, how many quarts? A friend got me to check out this site, already found so much useful information, its the best 35 dollars ive spent in quite awhile. I was told cummins didn't make a high output in 2003, but i see alot af guys listing there 03's as such, was i told wrong?

NV5600 is around 4. 5 pints. Front and rear diffs will take a little less than 8 quarts to do both.

Welcome to the TDR!

That should be 4. 5 quarts not pints. It might run a little hot and make funny noises with only 4. 5 pints.

and make sure you fill it on level ground! you dont want to much or to little in there!

Darn it!! You're right it is quarts. Sorry. Thanks for correcting me Scott.

Actually, the spec is 4. 5 liters or 9. 5 pints for the NV5600.
