Hope this is true! Saw this over at TDR:

I hope the quick fix is a permanent no problem fix!

 

If that's true, then the truck I order might be sitting on the lot when I go in to pick out the one I found with a NV-5600. I'm still going with the NV-5600 truck

 

Yep. Also was mentioned that the fix was adding a 1/2 qt of fluid!

It's now a full quart

Either Daimler majorly over reacted or this is a bandaid for a bigger problem IMO. If this is the same tranny they use in there medium duty trucks, why did it take 3 weeks to determine that the tranny was under-filled? I think I am going to go with the NV-5600 truck the dealer found for me.

 

or maybe this:

G56 Bamboozal?

I may be a little skeptical at heart, but I am starting to smell a rat. Makes me wonder if DC had an elaborate plan all along like Tommeygun suggested early on. Unload all the old NV5600s nationwide and clear the shelves of surplus autos at the same time.. Looks like it worked. Nothing but autos on our local lots last week. No changes in my mind, though. I like my workhorse and the little better ratios of the 5600 for my lifestyle.
