M1097A2 w/4L80E transfer case capacity?

As I continue to go over my 'new to me' 1097A2 with a fine tooth comb, I tried adding 3.35qt's of Dextron III to the transfer case since it was drained at the mil turn-in. 3.35qts is per the -10 capacities list but at best I can get maybe 2 1/2 qts in the TC. Am I missing something or using the wrong TM?

Rgr. It's still on the trailer so when I filled it the first time, the front was tilted up a bit and I thought that was the issue. I lowered the front of the trailer to the floor so the trailer was slightly tilted forward, giving the hmmwv a slight downward tilt. Maybe put in only another cup or so of fluid before it overflowed. Maybe just a hair over 2 1/2 qts overall. Just surprised this capacity is that far off from the TM.

Thats weird but to my knowledge all transfer cases get filled to the fill hole and no higher for obvious reasons. Being on a level surface is required. take a long level to your trailer...front to back AND side to side... just in case
