I love RAM because they are the only ones that still offer a manual transmission for their full size trucks in 2500 and 3500! Yours is nice. I love the setup!
Sadly, this is no longer a reality. 💀
Tyrone T Washington no longer a thing! I’m about to kill some people!!!
Also no more light duty manuals either
2018 was the last year, 1% of the 2500's are manual, 1% of the 3500's are manual......roughly 250 are a 2500, and 200 are a 3500. Could be off on the actual numbers but it's 1% of each produced are manual
not anymore
Thx so much! 😃 Just got a 2018 Tradesman Silver crew cab Cummins Turbodiesel G56 4x4. Just crossed 1000 miles within a month. Luv it! 😃 The G56 took some getting used to. I'm a muscle car guy with 2 Automatic Hellcats. I jumped into Diesel universe with both feet! 😄
Greg I really respect you in that you bring quality content and show how to do jobs properly with high quality parts. Not near all the other channels on TH-cam are trust worthy and it hurts watching them do stupid stuff. Keep up the great work!! Love the channel/content/video(s)!!
I don't own a diesel, or a dodge, for that matter but I really enjoy your videos. Keep the content coming.
Dorman CV boot part 614-001 for the shift tower boot if anyone was wondering
Thank you good sir
Love u man
Get part number 614-002, it’s a little more money, but it’s silicone rubber vs neoprene. Handles head and stuff better.
For the torqs bolts he was talking about, a 3/8 socket worked perfectly for me.
@12:10 easier with a 10mm bolt...... please explain what you mean by easier because I dont know a single person that has a 10mm wrench or socket just laying around. I pack an extra lunch and carry my 1911 on days that i know a 10mm is required incase i get lost in the jungle or someone sees me find a 10mm, claims its theirs and tries to fight to the death for it haha..good video :)
On my truck I took the filler plug out of the side of the trans and plumbed in a hose that’s run up under the hood so I could fill it from there, not sure if anyone else has done that or not. Great videos, keep them coming
I have the Southbend G-56 OKHD single. It's nearly silent in operation. A guy up in Ontario Canada recommended Amsoil 75-90 MTG. It's the slickest stuff I've found. It's much smoother then Delvac 50. I have a pump for the fluid and just elevate the passenger side and pump 7 qts in. That Synchromax and the SBC combo is super impressive! Very quiet. I have not used the Synchromax. Thanks.
Hey Greg, I made it easy on myself because I didn't want to go through the trouble of removing the shifter so I ordered a PTO cover from a company called TDS off of ebay and this PTO cover has a fill plug that is high enough to get about 7 1/2 quarts in and I installed it on the drivers side to avoid the exhaust and leave the extra ports available for a transmission cooler in the future. You can order the covers with a few different configurations and they all come with plugs and predrilled ports that accommodate for O-rings so you know it won't leak and their price point is relatively inexpensive. I ordered mine with the high fill port, temp probe port, and in and out ports for a transmission cooler. Great video for the guys that don't want to change PTO covers though. Always love watching your videos. They are in depth and very informative and never seemed rushed.
Nick Tonniges just ordered one I live by the guy who makes them do you like yours still
I have a Southbend twin disc in my 06. It shifts terrible compared to stock but I accepted the trade off since it won't slip with my downloader and pulling, pretty stout. Talked to Southbend and they recommended 50w so I went with delvac 50 as well. They said it spins a lot faster with a twin disc so the 50w will slow it down some. But the noise comes from the separator plate between the discs, semi trucks are noisy for the same reason. Sometimes I even double clutch thinking I'm driving truck again because of the way it feels haha!
I pulled the right side of my truck up on ramps and used a pump with a container filled with an extra quart. I also used Dorman CV boot part 614-001 to replace my shifter boot it's like 15-16 bucks, got the idea from the Cummins forum. Hope this helps.
Have you seen the new side cover from TDS? It allows you get almost all eight quarts in without pulling the shifter. Very cool. Great videos, keep them coming for us DIY’s.
Awesome awesome video Greg A, I 100% agree you can’t beat a south bend clutch lol.
Torque Spec on those 4 tower bolts is 17 Ft-lbs. If you over tighten them it will shift like crap especially when its cold.
I use Schaeffer sae 50 trans oil with a strainer/ cooler setup and yes you have to put more in than the factory pto cover fill plug. Heavy tow is all the truck does. No problems at all. And your way isn’t the easiest way to fill. I fill mine with the cooler pump ;p
The shift tower bolts are 12 point bolts. A 12 point socket works, everyone has one
Glad you posted this. My SB 3600 is pretty noisey, wheel hop backing up trailers and all. I live with it for now. I WILL be checking out my shifter boot as I do smell oil when my sunroof is open.
In Canada where it gets -40 up north, we use ATF+4, 720,000km still goin strong south bend dd
Or you buy this PTO Cover no need to take apart your interior fill it with 7qt. I have this on my g56 truck.
TDS - PTO Cooler Cover, Dodge G56 Xmission, Corrects fluid level, 1/8 NPT, USA
ITs on Ebay but great to deal with from my experience!!
Greg you might want to look at this Too!!
great video I've watched it a few times now. I have a 14 ram with the g56. It's been a learning curve as I have always ran the Duramax's. I will say this I miss my Alison transmission but don't regret buying this truck it's a beast and seems to be outlasting my dirtymax
The extra quart also works with the NV5600
Chad Myers73 and the Getrag G360 in the first gens.... it is a must
Hardway is local to me about a 45 min drive I currently am not a diesel owner but that’s going to be my next truck purchase I always enjoy the videos and plan on using them once I’m a diesel truck owner
Pretty ingenious way to fill up a transmission. I use one of those Lincoln suction setups that looks kind of like a grease gun. Works good for transfer cases too but you really gotta make sure to plug the hose after and never contaminate it.
Can't you use the top center bolt on the inspection cover to fill it? Would be the same as the NV5600
Had a dual disk southbend all the fingers fell out of it and some springs failed as well. Heaviest I had ever pulled was 21 000 lbs went to the high performance single disk and have gotten 30thoysand more and better performance. And for the record my truck is still bone stock at 218000. But your video here really help me out and appreciate the knowledge that you shared my friend Cheers Cheers and good health and and good horsepower
I just switched from a South bend dual disk to a South bend high performance single disk much quieter and shifts better. I tow every day 5 days a week and love it so far. My question is is there such a thing as over filling the transmission?
Valair clutch is what's in my g56. And it's taken a beating!!! Don't over look valair!!!
I’ve got a Valair dual disc ceramic in mine. Pulls phenomenally and had handled my 550hp for the past 20k miles. Valair is far superior over south bend
You can also buy jugs that bolt to where your pto covers are. They hold 1 qt each also.
Damn Greg I love your channel man I'm gonna be buildin me a 3rd Gen 24v G56 once I'm done with this Diesel Tech School, you're one of my mentors and I love this Black 6.7 3rd Gen cclb
There is one other way to overfill the transmission without pulling the shifter out and that is get a pump for your bottle of oil with a hose on it remove the top Center PTO cover bolt it's a couple of inches higher than the fill plug and pump it in that way it's much easier.
Took your advice, just switched to 7quarts of RP Sycromax. MUCH better shifting and quieter. I do still have the Clutch pedel depressed rattle out of my SB DD 3600. Very pleased, worth the $$
i have a south bend in my ZF6, and i have a 4 Quart over pan on it so i just dump 2.5 gallons in it and she is good to go. those south bends take allot of abuse as well, i have done enough 2nd gear launches and driving without even touching the clutch peddle that most clutches denigrate with.
Royal purple, that stuff really works!
You can in fact also jack the truck up on the driver side and pump all seven quarts in! Just an FYI if you don't want to do it the interior way!! :p
Got a NV5600 with 3250 SouthBend dual disc I run 7qts penzoil syncromesh but I also have trans PTO coolers
Amsoil all the way for my 09 G56. Also can’t go wrong with the South Bend dual disk clutch kit.
Carlos H what kind of ams oil do you run bro
I just stick a 10mm on the inverted torx and pull them out. Have the shift tower off twice both times used a regular sucker because I don't have new hardware or inverted torx
Just go buy a 5 gal bucket pumper. Pour the oil in the bucket and pump it in.
When I get a chance I'll take a picture of that dual disk clutch and send it send it to ya just for info reasons. Also mine is a 2012 3500 chassis cab
I miss my manual transmission! I wish there was a way to swap out my automatic for a manual that made sense cost wise. Great video bud!
Ever look at the cost of a 6 speed Eaton Fuller?
Ive got the South Bend in mine right now,but the Valair clutch doesn't rattle half as bad the south bend. My factory clutch went out as soon as I upgraded my injectors. finally time to rebuild the engine. 08 6.7 with 440k on it sotck internals and hit 900+rwhp. Needing a rebuildable 6.7 head if ya got one!
I've got a 2009 ram 3500 Cummins with manual tranny. Rock solid. Never had a service on that tranny, never changed the clutch. I've got over 150K miles. I love it because I do the shifting my way, I'm not at the mercy of computer software like the automatics are.
The stock dmf yields a very smooth engagement and a near silent transmission. I'm very surprised yours has lasted so long. As it wears it can take out the front input shaft bearing on the trans though.
Greg A with the awesome clutch work nice driving buddy!
Great info I need to change the fluid in my 06 6speed thank you for the tips I'll definitely use them
I had a dull disc south bend clutch in my 03 and it was junk I now have a triple disc valor it is way way way better 10 times the clutch
Why not use a transfer pump to get the gear fluid in the tranny rather than tearing apart the interior trim?
What's a man gota do around here to get a new hoodie. Wore mine out already
If you were to buy a new towing rig, would you get another one with a manual trans?
If I was towing and wanted one around the same year I would get one with an nv5600 trans instead of g56 bc it’s more of a work horse. But for comfort and higher gearing I’d get the g56. Just depends how often you’d be towing
Man you have some bad ass trucks! I'm stuck in a 04 hemi...
I’m with Mikey Geeeeeee on the Mobil delvac 50, Got a smokin deal on a 5 gal pail
50w mobile syn trans oil is what they use in this trans when its in class 7/8 trucks. even better then the royal ive found
You think 75-90 Lucas is good I bought 7 quarts was just getting ready for an oil change in the g56. I do have the southwest dual clutch in it.
Excellent Show & Tell...from an experienced
How much power is that truck making? Is the trans stock besides the clutch? In your experience how much HP and torque can a stock G56 handle before it goes bye bye
Greg A for president
Geerts016 better than trump
Same as Mikey mobile 50 with a quart of either your royal purple or Amsoil manual trans fluid
also you should add next vid that the adding an extra quart is goes for the nv4500 as well
So the NV5600 is the early 04 6-speed right. Do you over fill by a quart on the NV5600 as well? Thanks for the info, I’m new to the diesels and have a chance to grab an 04 dually 3500 4x4 manual for cheap. Just needs the transfer case rebuilt
Since you have access to a truck running Delvac 50 how does the shifting compare to the RP under load and during cold weather?
My famliy drag reses cates and unless its a rule u would keep glass winsheald the other ones vibrate a lot and make it hard to see when u race
i have run across something online add at least 1 quart in the trans especially if your running it kinda hard or towing heavy because they say it doesn't have enough fluid in in the pan so its like almost like running out of oil is why its noisy
Hey Greg A im looking at a 03 3500 SRW 4x4 6 speed if at all possible could you please do a vid on what things to look for on a third gen
I have a duel disc south bend .for some reason my truck wants to hop a little in reverse when I have my fifth wheel hooked up . I usually will just put it in 4 high I don't like beating up my truck ..not sure why It wants to hop
I have a 6speed and imma have to pull my transmission very soon to fix the throw out/ pilot bearing... it’s looking like it’s way different to pull vs nv 4500 transmission... no videos on to do this and idk how to go about this really looks like I’ll need a special tool too
I’m rebuilding an 05 and it’s very loud I thought I was something else I hear banging on idle
I read somewhere about the harmonic Damper (which should be check ever 30k) can cause gearbox and clutch chatter if unbalanced
I swapped mine out with a Fluidamper. It noticeably smooths out the idle but did nothing for the transmission.
I want one so bad. New to this might be a stupid question but you don’t have to double clutch these trans on the truck do you?🤔
What kind of radio is that? What did you have to do to get it to fit? I know these trucks don't accept a double din from factory because the way they are made.
I thought you put mobile 50 in in your video when you put that clutch in?... and I get you baby that truck but why does it not have a torque case on the trans? I mean I get how you do things and I can't figure why you don't have one on there.
what tips do you have for keeping the cummins running strong? 4th gen 6.7 deleted.
What pillar is that? looks clean as hell
Thanks for the info, a friend of mine has an 06 with the 6 speed, I will share the info with him!
I’ve got an 07 5.9 Mega cab DRW I want to convert to a G56. Just turned over 91,000 miles.
I have an 06 5.9 SRW and i am currently going to be doing a swap, if you go on facebook they are there everywhere
13:59 How does thst gear oil do in extreme cold weather compared to the recommended at-4 trans fluid?
The NV4500 5 speeds like a little extra fluid too.
Don't the SB Duel Disk clutches shift very hard, especially when cold? What I have seen in many vids is that people have difficulty shifting from 2nd to 3rd for example due to the mass of the duel disks.
My 2008 Ram 4500 dump needs a new clutch and am not sure to go with SB's top single disk unit or a duel disk unit. My truck is stock here in New Hampshire (any mods or tuning would be an instant fail during inspection), so I will never be adding any extra power to the truck ... unfortunately. So being at stock power, would SB's single clutch work fine for many years to come?
I use Mobile Delvac 50 and I love it and I just buy 2 one gallons jugs and fill her up😁
Phillip Patterson where do you buy it? And which part number is it?
i would add schaeffer oil to that list.
momma's good bathroom scale...
Also I run the mobile 1 delvac
I love that truck.
Tinted, of course.
So do you think is a good to just used 50w gl-5 manual transmission
I got a nv5600 in my third gen how often should I change the trans fluid
Now you have to be super careful with that lexan because that crap scratches if you just look at it.
What do they use on Nascar windshields for tear offs?
How did you change that sci-fi action haha
Hey Greg love the channel can you do this with the 5 speed nv4500 or is it unnecessary I don’t have noice but more fluid the better right
Hey Greg, I assume this same information can be applied to a 4th gen with a g56 as well?
James Hoffman yes all 6.7 Cummins are the exact same transmission, 06-07 5.9 Cummins have the same G56 just different gear ratios
I’m about to change the transfer case and transmission oil in my 05 with a G56. The manual calls for ATF in both?? Is synchromax the best way to go to improve shifting and noise? Also what type of oil for the transfer case is best? Thanks and great videos! 👍🏻👍🏻
ATF in a G-56 which has been converted to a single mass flywheel will be the closest thing to rocks rattling around down there. ATF in the transfer case is what's spec'd.
Great video...great info...
About to give this a try in mine . Is your trans still doing good with it?
I have a 1500 with the 6 speed in it....would it be ok to use the same type oil it that tranny?
So what about the nv5600?
Basically the same thing, but the shifter knob is one solid piece, just remove the bolts around the bottom and pull it up. I just replaced my clutch in my 03 3500, should have filled the gear oil in from the top!
I use to live 10 mins from hardway!! the guys are cool as hell and there weekly truck show is amazing
In your videos you always mention how salty your 08 is, have you done anything to combat rust on your frame at all?
I use amsoil all rnd for my g56
Hey greg whats ur take on the transmission coolers for the g56 which adds additional 2 quarts
Sorry this isn't a question on the meat and potatoes of the video. But what is the benefit of the lexan windshield?
Much Lighter!
GREG_ALBERALLA
Ahh, makes sense. Again I know your crazy busy but if I may ask a follow up. Is it just for racing or do you drive lexan on the street?
Greg A you need a camera light!!!
What clutch are u runing im no tuck expert need a little help
I use royal purple products all the time, used rp synchromesh in my nv 5600 it rattles bad now, so going to redline mtl and Lucas synthetic oil stabilizer, it was dead quiet until I added rp in it, so it didn’t work for me
Thegaragefiles Be careful with what you use in the 5600. I have always used the overpriced stuff from the dealer. Pour in an extra quart into the shifter like he did but be careful with what you use. A buddy of mine messed up his sincros while running the redline. Not sure if it was 100% the fluids fault but i am not taking the chances with how scarce the parts are for the 5600.
The extra fluid seems to quiet down the gear noise and makes it shift a little smoother
I think you basically answered my question, Mike. I was going to ask if it's the same recommendations/steps to change fluid in a nv5600.
Zackry Einerwold, Yup. Snatch the shifter out and pour it in the top
Royal purple 7 quarts?
Mike Joyner I’ve got 6 quarts in mine it rattles with the royal purple, that’s why I’m changing to redline mtl gl4 that what redline recommends, not gl5 that’s for diff
