Differential Fluid

How much fluid does the front diff hold? How much does the rear diff hold?
I hear .6-.8 for front and 1.5 gt at the rear.

Here you go. I can tell you that you should plan for a tiny bit more diff fluid (and transfer case too if you're doing that at the same time) than is specified here, simply because the way that you know it is full is that it starts running back out the fill hole, so you inherently waste a bit of fluid with each change.

If you get the fluid pump from Harbor Freight, make sure the hose is seated tightly to the pump. When I was changing out my fluids yesterday, the hose popped out twice on me, making a mess. :angry:
