2003 4.7L A/T Fluid Capacity?
Hello all,
My father is doing a little maintenance on his 'new' dakota to our fleet of Dodges.
Question: Anyone know how much fluid the transmission takes?
Truck is a 2003 CC 4x4 with the 4.7 V8 and Automatic tranny. I have scoured the owners manual and can't seem to find this piece of information.
Thanks in advance!

Can't say for sure how much the transmission holds in it's entirety but the last time I serviced my truck with the same motor and tranny it took 6.5 quarts to refill it.
On page 0-6 of the 2003 service manual it lists the following:
Total capacity for 42RE transmission is 19-20 pts.
Total capacity for 46RE transmission is the same.
Total capacity for 545RFE transmission is 28 pts.
This is not taking into consideration the added fluid in a transmission cooler. All capacities are listed as "dry fill."
