10 qts? More like 4 1/2. You really like to overfill your tranny huh?
Also I sent an email to both Bluementhals and Standard transmissions as to why exactly the NV4500 takes the special fluid. Probably won't gain much insight over what was already on Quad4x4 but who knows we might.

When we installed the tranny in my dads truck we laid the tranny on its side and put the fluid in it before we installed it in the truck.
If its in the truck you could take the stick out(<98 style) or take the shift tower (98-04 style) off and fill it through there. It will take a little longer to get the boots off and stuff but it is a heck of a lot easier to fill it up.

More info:
Ram NV4500 Specifications
# Fluid Capacity: 8.5 pints
* Fill level is to the bottom edge of the fill plug hole.
* These are the ONLY lubricants recommended for the NV4500:
o 75W-90 Castrol Syntorque Synthetic
o Mopar Manual Transmission Lubricant (PN 4637579)
o GM Transmission oil (PN 12346191)
o NOTE: Syntorque is NOT the same as Castrol Syntech.
o Standard Transmission has the oil. 1-800-783-8726
Even though its not on the "approved" oil list - I would probably trust the Amsoil stuff.
