Well he has the older style headlights so that means he has a 2005-prior.
Anyways, the differentials are the same until you get into IFS newer models. A 9.25" corporate rear end won't require any diff fluid or any more amounts of fluid from one year to the next!

BTW, you can download the owner's manual from Dodge for free (for 2004+):

http://www.dodge.com/en/owners/manuals/index.html

For a 2007, the owner's manual states GL-5 SAE 75W-90 for the front (4x4), and Synthetic SAE 75W-140 for the rear. The OM doesn't state the capacity, but from what I can find, the front takes 3.4 pints (1.7 qts), and the rear takes 4.4 pints (2.2 qts) + friction modifier if it's LSD.

An '04 manual will be pretty close to yours. The fluids and specs should be the same anyways.
