Dodge Pick-ups 1994-2001 All full-size models 2wd & 4wd, V8 gasoline engines
Engine oil capacity With filter change is 5 quarts.

Source:
Haynes Repair Manual #30041, Chapter 1 page 2
Buy one of these while you're getting the oil and filter

This information should also be contained in the vehicle's owner's manual.

 

when i bought it, it didnt come with the owners manual...

 

Have you downloaded the much beloved (and needed) Service Manual, yet? If not ... here it is: https://dodgeforum.com/m_340929/tm.htm

 

My 5.9L uses 5 quarts.

 

I havn't changed it in a while, but for some reason i thought mine took 5.5 last time i changed it. I remember putting 5 in it, and it only being about half way up the line between low and full. Its almost time to change it again though, so i guess i'll know for sure in a few days.

 

My 5.9L takes 10-12 quarts...

 

I downloaded the manual, butmy AdopeReader(sp?) says it can't show it something wrong with it??? Is their a site that has it veiwable online????

 

The file is zipped (compressed) ... you'll need a decompression utility to extract it before Adobe can read it. Here's a good one: http://www.shareup.com/downloading-24223.html
