Now that would be awesome. I love the pulling power mine has, it always just feels like I need one more gear

Anyone have any details of swapping a newer G56 (possibly from a wrecked truck) into an 06/07 with the old G56?

I would think if it really is the same transmission, just a different 6th speed ratio, then everything should bolt right in, no surprises. Right?

How much do yall think a used "new" G56 would cost me?

I did it with my ’05, the G56R, which comes behind the 6.7, bolts right up to our 5.9s.

All the gear ratios are different, only 5th is the same at 1:1.


G56 / G56R
---------------
1|6.29 /5.94
2|3.48 /3.28
3|2.1 /1.98
4|1.38 /1.3
5|1 / 1
6|0.79 /0.74

Those are not cheap, look on some of the internet salvage yards...~$2.5-3k
