I've been lurking for a while now, but I finally ordered a new CTD. I got 1% under invoice through my company. Also it looks like I will be a guinea pig for the G-56. See my sig for details.

 

Let me be the first to say.........Congrats!

Let us know how you like that G56.

 

Remind me again...What's a G-56?

The New DC 6 spd transmission that will replace the NV5600 (6spd behind Cummins) and 4500(5spd behind Hemi) .

 

Is it a Getrag or a DC manufacture?

 

It is not a getrag, its a mercedes, DC manufacture

 

They have a ThunderRoad package for the heavy duties now? I've seen the 1500's with that package for about a year but never a HD and on a 4x4! A lot of guys on post got them with the hemi and duals. I never seen a 4x4 ThunderRoad. I'm curious to see how all the body effects look on a 4x4 diesel.

 

It's not listed on Dodge's site but there are 3 value groups that as far as I could tell are the same. There's the Thunder Road, Big Horn and Lone star. All of them include 750-amp maintenance free battery, fog lamps, trailer tow group, bodyside moldings, leather-wrapped steering wheel, tow hooks, 17" x 8" forged aluminum wheels, sliding rear window. And you save $400. I was planning on ordering all these except the body side moldings so I went for it. Also upgraded to the Rear defroster for $70. I haven't seen one in person, but I don't think there are any special body effects for the 2500/3500. I guess I will find out when it comes in.
