The tranny if the pan and filter are changed and the Toque converter is drained will hold 15-17 quarts.
Coolant my info say 29 quarts. Unless you put the block drains there will still be some in there. the 29 quarts is a 50/50 mix

tj, i think you are a little high on the tranny, if i recall the pan holds 7 qts and you lose another quart with a filter swap, if you drain the torque converter too then i think you get up to 12 qts drained.
15-17 i think is total capacity when empty.

When I drop the pan and drain the TC with a 4wd pan mine takes 15-16 quarts to refill. Don't know what to tell you. Other than when he goes to the store and buys fluid he will have enough to get the job done.

i guess that also falls into the 14-15 qt oil pans...... i just changed my oil yesterday and put 14 on the nose in and checked to see what my stick reads and it is in the cross hatches but adding one additional quart brought it up to dead on the full line. i guess all trucks are a little different

Yep pretty crazy!! The first was a contractor and second is the guy I used to snowplow for. he is pretty mechanically senseless but atleast he is smart enough to have a fleet of PSD plow trucks! Now if he would pull the dipstick every now and then!
