I am trying to find out how many quarts of tranny fluid to put in the plow truck i drive. Its an 04' f-550 dump truck. I'm not sure what diesel motor but i think its a 7.3. Is there a difference in capacity between the 6.0 and 7.3 powerstroke? Please help me if anyone knows something

For your 2004 Ford Truck F550 Super Duty P/U 2WD 7.3L Turbo Diesel :

6 2/5 Quarts

Application:
With automatic transmission
With 4 speed transmission

Note:
Filter change
With the engine at operating temperature, shift

Check fluid level in park and add fluid as needed.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but if the '04 F550 got a 7.3, why couldn't the '04 F250/F350???????

Emissions. The F550 is a heavy duty truck, and not seen on the highway as much. Needed to sell 6.0's to meet new emission standards for light duty diesels.
