(continued from above)..... on 1999 and 2000 trucks had a 1-1/4" input shaft and fiber-lined synchronizer rings. The input shaft was beefed up to 1-3/8" for the 2001 model year after one of the 1-1/4" shafts failed behind a Cummins High Output engine during a long-term Chrysler engineering road test. Also for 2001, the synchronizer rings and gears were redesigned. Except for the shift tower stub length change for the all new 2003 body style, very little significant engineering changes were made between 2001 and the end of production in January of 2005.

After NV5600 production ceased in January of 2005, MTM (The GM division that operated the Muncie Transmission plant after Chrysler and GM dissolved New Venture) pretty much stopped making parts for them. By December of 2005, most new parts were no longer available from any source. Since that time, the parts situation has improved considerably for the 2001 and later transmissions. Regrettably, most year specific parts for the 1999 and 2000 transmissions are history. However, it is possible (but expensive) to retrofit the early transmissions with the later synchro rings and gears.

The reliability and durability of the NV5600 is generally good, especially in higher horsepower applications that would grossly overload a NV4500 5 speed (anything over 600 lb-ft of torque at the flywheel). Accurate shaft end-play readings are critical, as is keeping a full fill of the correct oil in the gearbox. A NV5600 run short of oil or with the incorrect oil is likely to suffer a mainshaft bearing failure. Many owners overfill the NV5600 with no more than one extra quart of oil to help guard against lubrication related bearing failures. The NV5600 is generally not an easy shifting transmission due to the convoluted shift mechanism and the use of brass coated synchronizer rings staring in 2001 model year. On 2001 and newer transmissions, using the brass coated synchro rings, it is imperative to run a filter to cleanse the oil of brass particles worn from the rings.

Yellowstone Griz
In nearby Yellowstone Park, a Grizzly Bear stops traffic as it crosses a road. The big bears are pretty common in mountainous areas outside the Park, and even if rarely seen by the casual backcountry traveler. The knowledge that they are there gives a certain spice to the journey especially if overnight camping is on the agenda. The long claws visible on this bear are a great tool for flipping over rocks to get at insects or digging for shallow dwelling burrowing rodents.
