there was only 1 rear end offered in our truck...8.8. call another parts store and tell them you have the 8.8. dont forget to get friction modifier if you have limited slip.

3 quarts should take care of the rear differential. As for the front, I don't know, but I wouldn't imagine it to be any more than 3.

Royal Purple is one of the best on the market. It's a great choice.
