How much oil to use

I know my transmission came with Morpar ATF+4 but I do not know how much oil it takes to change it. Have looked on every page of the owners manual and no place does it give the amount of transmission fluid it holds. Same for the real axle, know it uses 70-95 gear oil but no where does it say how much it takes to refill after changing. My truck: 2005, cummins, 3500 dually with 48RE and non-slip rear axle or what ever they call it. Please help me find the quanties I need for doing the service on them both. I plan to use the Mopar transmission fluid but want to switch the rear axle to synthetic (mobil one). Thanks for the help
