Thanks 00DakDan!

 

Glad to help!

 

Here's an odd answer that's an industry practice LOL..I worked at a Large reputable Instant oil change place//their method was stick your finger in filler hole to 2nd knuckle, bend finger towards the oil level and the oil should cover to the 1st knuckle n your finger, roughly 1 inch below filler hole..This is no **** LOL, Just thought i'd share it

 

The Chrysler 8.25 cover plate is considered to have a small defect from the many articles I have read the fill hole was too low causing the Chrysler 8.25 to always have a less amount of oil in them than could or should be inside them.

Most aftermarket cover plates for the 8.25 have a higher fill hole so you can fill them to what the proper level was meant to be on the drawing board from day one. A lot of 4X4 owners that use the Chrysler 8.25 understand this but most 4X4 owners avoid the Chrysler 8.25 they think it is weaker than the Chrysler 9.25

I have the Solid cover on mine and it holds about 4 quarts of oil now.

 

Thanks, man. I'm happy to get the word directly from the FSM.

 

Well, first I'll say I'm sorry you feel I insulted you. I don't know you from Adam (and I'm not sure I want to, judging from the tone of your replies), and I didn't feel comfortable following one person's advice unless I knew something about their expertise.
One thing I noticed was that you have a 2.5 engine, and for all I know, it has a 7.25 rear end; that's one reason I wanted further confirmation.
I'm sorry I didn't supply enough information about my truck. That was not helpful, I'm sure. It is a 2004 2wd with a 4.7. I don't know which diff it has; a search of the website didn't help me discover how to tell the difference. Maybe you can enlighten me??
Peace!!
