I've got an 02 2500HD with the 6 liter and 4l80 trans. This weekend I was changing the fluid in my tranny to Amsoil synthetic and decided to do the tcase at the same time. But, like an idiot, I drained the tcase into the same pan as the tranny fluid was in, so since I didn't start with an empty pan I don't know how much fluid came out (doh!). I checked the manual, but that doesn't tell me anything, so I just filled it until it came back out the inlet hole. Took a few ounces less then 2 quarts. Does that sound right? Seems to me like it's a bit less then it should be.
Also, the threads for the inlet and drain bolts had some type of white sealer applied. Appeared to have been a paste. I scraped as much of it off as I could, and then used some plumbing teflon tape instead. I don't have any leaks, but wasn't sure if that was going to be a good enough sealer (don't know if somewhere in the future I was gonna have a problem).
