Wanting Confirmation of 2006 6spd Manual Transmission Information

I dug up a little info off a web site about the manual transmission in a '06 2500 and was wondering if someone could confirm that info for me.

2006 Transmission Model was the: G-56

Gear Ratios:
1st-- 6.29:1
2nd-- 3.48:1
3rd-- 2.10:1
4th-- 1.38:1
5th-- 1.00:1
6th-- 0.79:1

Is that information correct?

Thanks,

I've been told that G56s started half way through 2005. Mine was built in May '05 with the G56.

rockcrawler304, mine was manufactured 6-06, but just to ensure I'm looking at the correct tranny, what's the quickest way to tell the difference between the nv5600 and the g56? Thanks!
