I wonder if both trannys were available, as an either or option on a new ride, what most people would "opt" for?? CAST IRON or old beer cans??

 

I have had both 6 speeds, and i would take the g56 hands down if both were offered. Its a nicer transmission than the nv5600 at least to me. I have 2 buddies that just traded in thier 03s for 06s and they all agree the g56 is sweet. I think its the best cummins tranny do date. I didnt know they made transmissions out of recycled beer cans. Please quote your source.

 

hes referring to the aluminum case

 

Thanks. I recycle all of my beer cans for after life as other products.
Aluminum deck furniture.... all kinds of suff!! Oh yea even TRANSMISSIONS!!

 

I vote for the beer can tranny.

 

does anyone know how to get in touch with bigd 6.6 or kow if he is a member here or on tdr.

 

How about looking at post #33 ?

 

How do you get in touch with him?

 

I'd say go to post #33, place your pointing device over his username, click, then click on "send private message to" .

 

I have a friend that hauls full time and just gernaded his G56 in his 06'. He spend a week in OKC waiting for a new tranny. Dealer couldn't get any parts. The dealer finally replaced it and charged him $7000, yes 7 grand. He regrets not getting the auto which held up without any failures i his previous truck.

?No Warranty? 7K seems a little steep, wonder how much of that was parts?

 

Wow he broke the Gunk-56 just hauling trailers?
And I thought they just broke when you sled pulled them twice!

Repeat after me class:
My G56 is a good tough tranny. My G56 is a good tough tranny. My G56 is a good tough tranny.

 

Cause lord knows there has never been a NV5600 break....please.....

 

$7K???....ouch!! Was it out of warranty due to mileage? Is his truck stock? What sort of weight is he hauling? Seems like there's gotta be some in salvage yards for a lot less than $7K

 

What's wrong with this picture?
