Have you checked the owners manual? It should state the specs and quantities for all of the fluids in the truck. I'm not trying to be a smart ***, so please don't take it that way.

No problem. I pulled my service manual, and here's what it says:

6 speed trans - 5.8 quarts of MERCON automatic trans fluid (not MERCON V)
Dana 80 axle - SAE 75W-90 QL synthetic gear lubricant - quantity not given, just to fill until it's level with the bottom of the filler plug hole.
Engine Oil - 15W-40 - 15 quarts
Engine Coolant - 33 quarts
Power steering fluid - MERCON auto trans fluid - quantity not given

Anthing else you would like for me to check, I can do.
