tranny fluid capacity
 

Noob to this site... first post.
I did a search here and didn't find anything on this.
I need to know the tranny fluid capacity (dropping the pan and changing the filter). I've got a 2000 6 cyl (w/4WD).
Hayes says 2.2 qts, local parts store says 2.2 qts, but I know from the last time I did it (darned if I didn't write it down...) that it takes a lot more than that, hell, I dropped that much on the floor (drain plug is a different story, had to drop the pan the old fasioned way).

Great site! I'd have vistited sooner, but this truck just keeps running despite the 106K miles on it.
Thanks,
