transmission Fluid

[CHolman]

I just ordered 4 quarts of Red Line Manual transmission Fluid and was wondering how many quarts of fluid it really takes? Is four enough, or do I need to get a few more for my HD 6 speed? Also, how many quarts of gear oil do the front and rear diff's hold? I have 96,000 miles on my 04 DRW 3500 and bought it with 80,000 miles on it. I want to go through her bumber to bumber replacing the fluids... Thanks...

you'll need 5 for the trans, 3 qts ATF+4for the x-fer case, 4 qts. synth gear lube for the rear, and 3 for the front.

Thanks, this is some high dollar stuff, so I want to get what I need and a little bit more just in case, so now I'll be good to go. Thanks again

Anyone have any tips or info on how to do these things that may be useful? I know there easy things to do, but it never hurts to ask? Do I need any gaskets or anything for the transmission? I haven't looked very close, but I didn't see a drain plug or screw to drain the transmission fluid, just inspection covers. Any input would be greatly apperciated... .
