WK1 General Performance DiscussionIf you are planning on modifying your Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 with a performance enhancing modification, this is the section to post about it.
When I changed my fluids not too long ago, my front diff drained 45 ounces from the factory fill, and was actually slightly overfilled as it poured out of the filler plug when removed.
Mine took 44 ounces to refill, it did not want any more. I subsequently checked it a couple of weeks ago, it was still full to the bottom of the filler plug.
All your other capacities jive with what came out of mine.

So the correct capacity for the front and rear differentials is just inder the fill hole?

Grand Cherokee SRT8
Transfer Case Fluid Service
The Grand Cherokee SRT8 will be arriving at
dealers any day now and we wanted to remind
you that it will introduce a new transfer case, the
NV146. There are a couple significant differences
with the fluid and fill level on this transfer case
compared to other Grand Cherokees.
First, t he fluid full l level is 1-1/8 inches below the
bottom of the fill plug. This is different from the
other Grand Cherokee applications. Second, the
proper fluid is Mopar NV146 Transfer Case Fluid
(Part number 68001758AA). This fluid is also
different from other transfer case applications,
and any other fluids are not recommended. It is
important that the transfer case not be overfilled
and that the correct fl ui d i s used. This is important
information for the people doing PDI on these
vehicles and anyone who services these transfer
cases. Past experience has shown us that having
the fluid fill level below the fill plug can cause
some confusion.

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled people make poor decisions and reach erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to realize their mistakes. The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average, much higher than it actually is, while the highly skilled underrate their abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority. This leads to the situation in which less competent people rate their own ability higher than more competent people. It also explains why actual competence may weaken self-confidence. Competent individuals falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. "Thus, the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others."

Nice Jeff.
As cheesy as this sounds im making a dipstick for the transfer case from a wire hanger, 1 foot in lenth with the end bent to 1 1/8" 90 degrees.
