Diff fluid? Torque specs? Can’t find it?

[2004DRDye]

been trying the search…not coming up. Wanna change my front and rear diff fluids and can’t find amount needed for each… and can’t ding torque specs to re tighten. I’m having issues finding this on here. Probably right in front of me‍

Yep. Issues. 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT.

I have never used a torque wrench on diff covers on my old 06, I used good & tight an for the 15 years I owned it never had it seep or leak...

Found 2.45 liters front and rear diff. I have the 2004 SLT 2500 4 wheel drive. Will this need a limited slip differential additive in it? TIA

Depends who you ask. I was reading a thread on this site yesterday that said all modern gear oils include the friction modifier so you don't need to add it separately. I'd need to do more research.

I had the tranny shop do mine on Monday while they were doing the transmission and I didn't ask what they put in so I can't tell you what they used.

2.4 qts front axle (approx)
2.65 quarts (rear Ram 2500/3500 10.5" axle)
3.81 quarts (rear Ram 2500/3500 11.5" axle)
32ft fbs torque

Did you look through the whole thread or just stopped on the first page?

I did both of my differentials last week. I used Royal Purple 75/90 for both. Then I changed the transfer case fluid with mopar stuff at $30/quart. Grrrr

Anyway I just tightened all fill and drain plugs hand tight plus 1/4 turn. I’ve always don’t it that way and never had a leak
