Easy now i had two also but maybe i was to hard on them.

 

The reason the 5600 is no longer produced is because Chrysler was the sole customer of the nv5600.
The nv5600 was developed for DCX.

 

Like I said = WOW

Ramasaur's dad broke 2 G56s and has two friends facing the same problem... that sounds like 6 trannys to me

... but I don't think he meant to upstage ya!

 

2-4-6 tranny failures in a row? Sounds like a manufacturing alignment problem (bellhousing, engine block, tranny case).

Unless there is more to the story………….

 

Right, that must be it!

 

I read that Cummins was changing the ISB blocks to Aluminum for 07'... to match the G56 man trany!!!!

 

Exactly! - ???

 

Now, hold on - don't want to throw the OEM under the bus prematurely...

maybe they're all sledpullers!

 

Where will they get all the beer cans?

 

Righto.
There was a guy here a while back that was complaining about a toasted clutch @15K miles. He was upset becuase they wouldn't waranty the clutch itself (wear item)
"What, your not supposed to be using the skinny pedal and the clutch to take off?"

 

Because it breaks when punished with the abuse of sledpulling??

 

I gonna step up my personal consumption to increase output.

 

I've owned two '06 trucks with the G56. They were both very different transmissions. The first G56 was very notchy and stiff, but after a few thousand miles it smoothed out nicely. It pulled heavy everyday for over 23k miles. It did fine. I got another '06 with a G56, and it was very smooth from the beginning, it towed heavy everyday too. However, at about 1500 miles, it made some very loud squealing noises under acceleration, and while letting off the pedal. You could feel the vibration through the shifter. Sounded bad to me, like bearings perhaps. After that, 6th gear developed an increasingly loud and perceptible vibration and rattling noise. It continued to shift well though. I am at the same job, but don't pull trailers anymore, so I got yet another truck. This time a dually with an automatic.

 

A guy on the FordDiesel.com forum was whining about Ford not warranting a rod thru the block of his 6.0. Someone looked back thru his earlier posts and noticed that he had an aftermarket turbo, big swamp injectors, a box, a chip and was squirting both NOS and propane and he liked to street race……

Often there is “more to the story”…………

 

Thank You.
