Fluid capacity ???'s

[BoostFiend]

Hello all. I am picking up a 1984 F250 6.9 IDI this weekend. It has the 4 speed T19 ,2wd.
After I get it I would like to change the fluids , I know the engine is around 10 quarts but does anyone know for sure the capacity of both the T19 and the Dana rear end?
I appreciate the help , thanks!

7pts in the trans and 6pts in a d60 and 7pts in a d70 get ya a engine filter for a psd and gain about a quart on the engine

Thanks for the info. So filter for PSD is the same just longer? Cool I will go that route.

get the cheepest one you can get to start with because some trucks cant quite fit them.

I guess a amsoil EAO then would be a bad idea ;-)

as a test fit yes, but i always go amsoil for lubes and filters (psssst. donaldson makes napagoldand the amsoil EA series filters)

^ believe thats right there, what i would like to know is who makes those cheap-*** filters you get from places like twilight zone, and o-reallys. seriously take one the house brand filters and soak it in oil. then weigh it compared to oem like motorcraft fl-1995 psd filter. the house brand with oil in it weighs less than a motorcraft brand with no oil. so the question is *** is even in that filter to clean oil anyway. i like ( WIX, FLEETGUARD, MOTORCRAFT, DONALDSON = all good stuff imho)

what i meant was a cheap brand filter with oil soaked in it, versus a "good brand " filter with nothing in it at all. the good brand filter is still heavier than the cheap one . it kinda tells me the good brand has much more media in it to clean out the goop... see what im sayin

You can get a Motorcraft psd filter (FL1995) anywhere and they are good filters. You'll need about 11 quarts with the PSD filter. Add a quart or so to it prior to putting it on. It helps to prime it and you get oil pressure a bit quicker after an oil change that way.

no no no it is a great idea, i would just hate to see you buy one and not be able to use it. the cross member under the engine sometimes gets in the way.

BTW the Dana 60's have a built in drain and fill plug on the diff. dont they? Or is it just a fill plug?

The drain is the Diff cover. There is a fill on the pumpkin.
