Well I lost 5th gear again, and the dealership I borrowed the tools from last time will not let me borrow them again because of some new type of policy or something. Does anybody know the part numbers on them and where I can buy them? I figure they will be pretty expensive but I don't know any other way of doing it. It is a 4x4 if that makes a difference on the tool. Thanks.

 

Which tools ? When I did mine I didn't need anything that was not standard.

 

5th gear nut wrench is a miller 6443
the splined socket is miller 6442

Let me know if you need any others i have the complete nv-4500 factory special tool kit.

 

quad 4x4 sells them too. i ordered mine from them when i ordered some parts, great people to deal with.

 

Thanks for the replies. I ran those miller part numbers and it says that they are for a 92 through a 95. Mine is a 98. Is there a difference in the trans between these years? It confused me because I didn't even think they used the nv4500 in 92 or 93. I also looked them up on quad 4x4. I sure wish I could get by cheaper than that, but I guess I have to have them. Thanks again for the help.

 

The numbers i gave you are the correct ones for your transmission and will work on all 2nd gen 5sp trucks 94-02 with the new venture 4500.

Miller is the one that makes the special tools for the dealerships. This is the dealership set that i have where ever you looked it up it they made a mistake it is a different set for the 89-93 5sp made by getrag.

 

That is all I need to know. Thanks so much for your help.
