So I've got a 2004 Ram 2500 with the 14 bolt 10.5" differential. Manual says capacity is around 2.65 quarts so I bought 3 quarts to change out the fluid.
Removed cover and gasket - everything looked good. Put new gasket on and reinstalled the cover. Put the first 2 quarts in no problem. Put half or so of the third quart in and stuck my finger in to feel the level, felt a little but had to go way in and down to feel the level.
Put the remainder of the third quarter in and it still didn't overflow out of the fill hole. Stuck finger in and felt the level a little better. Runs and drives well - just like before.
Question: will half a quart more fluid make that much of a difference? Should I back out some fluid or should be ok?
