I was told by a member over at the KYDTR that a lot of G56's were failing.....How many G56's have been lost due to normal conditions......please post your story if so

 

I don't follow the G56's much since I have a 5600, but I haven't heard of very many failures so far

 

no rpobs here w 20,000. ive only heard of one and he was sled pulling.....

 

I have only heard of one failing, it was durrin a sled pull and the guy shattered the case I think. It was on this site he may speak up. 28,000+ on mine no probs

 

That would be bigd6.6.......he took out G56 #2 this past weekend at Scheid.

It is confirmed, G56 is junk in my book.

 

Why do you think that????

 

Because BigD6.6 has broke 2 of them in the last month sledpulling.
He knows how to run with the best of them....so its not his driving causing the issue. Its basically a weak tranny.

I have over 30 hooks on my nv5600....if it went tomorrow its served its purpose. I know trucks that have over 100 hooks on their NV's and the only thing that breaks is usually a main shaft (from running the high side) that can be replaced and its ready to rock again.

Bring back the NV

 

bigd6.6...is no where near stock.....you play you pay....I was more interested in the G56 under normal conditions....

 

Its still a good indication of the integrity of the g56.

 

So you think the intergity of the tranny is tested by loading up the engine with mods and turning all that power lose on a stock tranny??? I guess before we get off topic lets compare apples with apples not apples with hotdogs....anyone else know of stock trucks with G56 failures???

 

Failures of weak parts that happen in sledpulling are very good indicators of what will fail once that part gets worked over a period of miles or time.

Dont take it personally. Its Chryslers fault, not ours. Cheap parts bite

 

im very happy with mine. i would not call how i drive normal. i have about 27,000 hard miles on it. bigd6.6 is the only person i have seen hurt one of these and he is hooking to a sled with a tranny with an aluminum case not smart in my book. but for everyday use and some racing mixed in, it has held up great.

 

I understand....but I was under the impression by this other person that G56's where failing on the raod daily......and I haven't heard that from anyone else. I wish I had the nuts to do what you guys do in the pulling end of things but money keeps Big Whitey all stock.....hehehehehe

 

Since the day a got mine it has been rough going into 6th.

Anyone else have this problem???
