Anyone else heard of noise in 3rd and 5th? It sounds like air moving or similar but only in those gears all of the time.

 

I have the same noise. I just attributed it to the position of the shifter. My thinking is 3rd and 5th allow tranny/engine noise to enter the cabin and 2nd, 4th and 6th seem to muffle it. I hope thats all it is.

 

i thought about that too a little bit, but strangely no noise in 1st.

 

I dont really use 1st that much. When I do it is usually an accident because I forgot which truck I'm driving. But I havent noticed any noise in 1st either. Maybe because I dont stay in it very long (whats it good for? 5-7 mph?) Plus here lately I've started using mostly 2nd, 4th and 6th. Usually only utilize 3rd and 5th in stop-n-go traffic.

 

yeah I only used 1st to test the noise business.

 

I havent noticed any noise at all in mine but I will try to check a little better tomorrow.

 

No noises here. Got 7,000 miles on it and couldnt ask for a better engine and trans combo. Whats this "FIRST" gear you guys speak of? Are you guys reffering to that ungodly lowlowlow left and up position? I only use it by accident and then it throws all your starting out shifts off. I dont even hit that gear with the Deere behind unless I am on a good hill
All and all I love the G56. Everyone complains about the low gearing but it actually saved me. I was acustom to setting the PowerJoke on about 80MPH and just cruising but with this thing 65MPH is tops for me. Once in a while maybe a 75 or 80 MPH blast to break up the carbon. It was just a matter of time before I got busted in the FlowerPoke.

 

No noises in mine either. Actually, I like the G56 better for towing the 5ver; it gives me better mileage at 70mph towing than the '03 did with the NV5600, by about 1.5 mpg.

 

My noise seems to be getting worse. I also hear noise when in neutral with the clutch out. Does anyone know the right fluid level on the G56?

 

I heard it's one extra quart from the fill hole. Lift the truck on the fill side to get the extra quart in.
