cooling system capacity

Stated capacity on this engine is 30 quarts. Just had my lower radiator hose replaced and coolant changed. Mechanic used airlift to refill. Only took about 22 quarts. Yes he drained both sides of block.

Has anyone else changed or had their coolant changed. If so, how much did it actually take for a refill?

Truck is factory except for the fact that the EGR was changed to the updated one that no longer has coolant flowing through it.

I'd watch that degas bottle...I bet you have to add some. Check it cold every morning for the next few days.

I seem to recall an 8 gallon capacity. Could be wrong.
