Ultimate HD transmission
Tranny went out on my 06 dodge had a full load of hay and about the time the boost hit 60psi, fourth gear let go.
I will take my tranny apart in the next day or 2 to see if it is repairable but I assume it is not. I could just replace it with another G56 but I prefer to put something in a little more HD. NV5600 really isn't a option for me since I broke one of those in the past. Actually the G56 lasted a extra 60K.
I am interested in going with a Eaton Fuller 6 speed FSO-8406A rated at 860tq. Or would consider any transmission that would work. I also need to be able to make this work with 4 wheel drive!!!
Has anyone done any research or know of a place or a person that does this kind of work????

I have heard of guys installing 10 speeds into their trucks. My buddy in Texas is looking at a 2nd gen right now that is for sale with a 10 speed installed. I told him to send me pics asap but he has not been able to get ahold of the guy.

Well if you gonna go a route like this, why not go with a unsyncro'd 7-speed? And since this will be a custom job and you need 4WD, then make yourself a divorced transfercase set up. This way you can pick and choose your tranny and not limit yourself to a special tail shaft design and your transfercase will be all gear driven and cast iron.

Finally got time to pull the tranny all the way. Doesn't look bad from what I can see. I have 2 gears that need to be replaced. I don't have the case split all the way. Darn thing just wont pop open. So their still could be more wrong.
If I can fix it cheap thats what I will do for now.

That 10 sped brings back nightmares of when I was learning to drive big rigs....
Hated all that shifting... of course I learned on 13 and 15 speeds behind a cummins 350 and a Marmon v-12.
