Hey, guys quick question do you know the brake point on the 2005 rams for the g56 vs nv5600 ?? reverse is far right and up on g56 ?? I cant remember to save me. Thanks jr

 

reverse is down and to the left on a G56 ...

everyone on here knows that the G56 is a far superior transmission to the nv5600 ... heck the 5600's break so much they ran out of spare parts


JOKE!!!!

 

OMG-------Do you have any idea what you have just started??????? Use the Search Button on G56 VS NV5600 and see what I mean ----slap on the wrist-------------joking, I know !

 

Brake point? Do you mean when they stopped using the NV and started with the G56?

 

oK guys...for us who are new to the dodge seen....which is the better trans.....I have a 2007 dodge drw 3500 WITH the g56.....I hope it is half as good as my eaton fuller 10 speed overdrive in my volvo fifth wheel hauler......this 3500 was bought to replace the 01 volvo day cab....getting to old to climb in and out on camping trips...trucksalesdave

 

yes when i said break point i meant what month. I thought and think after mar 2005 was the g56. the nv5600 if far better in my opinion. I drove a g56 truck and didnt like it one bit. thanks, jr

 

New Venture Gear 6 Speed 5600 is/was far superior. The G56 was alot cheaper so thats what you have today.

 

Not another one of these posts. Always beating the dead horse.

I think the G56 is a much better trans. Had an 03 with the NV5600 that grenaded at 10k miles. G56 shifts much smoother and geared lower...better puller IMHO.

 

I have owned both. I loved the 5600. The g56 definitely seems comparable so far. I think the G56 is geared a little lower (don't like) but it seems a little smoother to me. As far as durability, I guess time will tell.

 

I not a nv5600 fan any more. checkout my thread I started a few days ago on this section named tranny trouble.

 

I have driven both and prefer the smoothness of the G56. IMHO they are both a great tranny. And like said before, time will tell on the reliability of the G56. Except for the higher RPM in 6th gear, I am glad I have the G56. New gears for the axles will take care of this problem though.

 

I have a G56 and hate to say it but Ford makes the best 6 speed. I loved my Ford's transmission, but I hated all the problems with the rest of the truck. As far as changing gears in the axles I'm pretty sure you can only get 3.73 or 4.10 ratios so I guess you'll just have to get some bigger tires to lower RPM's. At least that's what I'm going to do.

 

good point, i have a bunch of ford freinds ... two very good friends, one with '03 7.3 and another with a '05 6.0

i've driven both and they do seem to run fine with no problems ... what tranny is it?

 

I was in the market in March of 05. There were no G56's around, not that sticks are popular here, and they stopped making the 05's around the middle of April Tomeygun posted then. My NV equipt 05 was built in Jan. I don't think there were many 05 G56's so March might have around the time of the switch.
