The NV5600 in my truck, I run Synchromesh. The G56 in your truck may reqiure something else.

THE G-56 in your truck DOES IN FACT take ATF+4!!!! 6 quarts!! NV5600's took syncromesh, when you drain your trans you will see the bright RED fluid. I personally put AMSOIL ATF in mine and it shifts way better than the MOPAR ATF4!!
