Default Fluid Capacities?

I plan on replacing all my extra fluids. Anyone know the fluid capacities for tranny, front & rear ends and transfer case on a 2009 1500 5.7L? If you tell me it's in the manual, what page, b/c I sure as hell can't find it. Thanks.

Default Is dealer correct?

Was in today for some RRT work. He said it was also time for trans / diff / transaxle fluid changes. He quoted about $350 to do it all, way more than I can afford. I told him no, i'll do it myself and he said:
" the transmission and both differentials need friction modifier"

Really, in the tranny?
And I am pretty sure I don't have a limited slip rear diffy, so why would I need it in the front and rear diffy's? I think this guy is FOS but I need to make sure.

09 quad hemi 4x4 1/2 ton.
