OK, now I want to dig a little deeper...I have this parts truck with a Dana 60 in the front end (presumable an open rear). I have a deceased '92 E-250 with a Dana 60 LS 3.73 non full floating rear in it (semi-floating?) (If you have this much stuff you might be hillbilly). Can I install that older LS into that other housing? I suspect it's a smaller size ring gear.

I’m changing mine this weekend and everything I see says exactly what you said, 4 -4.25 quarts. Appreciate you chiming in, now I can still trust the specs I have and I don’t have to start digging all over again.

Highly recommend one of those Lube Locker gaskets if you are reusing a stock style cover. If money is no object, those fancy new Banks covers come with a drain plug and sight glass for very easy future servicing.
