Becareful who you let build your nv5600 sence mine failed I've manage to get it pulled out, had metal in the oil, pulled the tail housing and found that unit was built with worn out parts, the main shaft nut was put on with a chisel and almost broked and not tight, this unit came from cummins performance parts i got took dont let this happen to you

Ouch @jlbayes another CPP horror story

Can you provide pictures of this? 

Man that really sucks.  I feel for you

I have one I would like to get built this year. Standard Gear out of Texas I believe seems to have a good rep and there is another out Memphis, their name alludes at the moment. Have not looked at either in couple years. I guess some further research is in order. There are other cheaper ones out there but I dont want to do this but once.

Ill get pics up as soon as i can there on my wifes phone, im planning on rebuilding my self this time using parts from allstategear, if its worth it, over still got a split the main case I ran out a time before I gat that far

Allstate sells a rebuilt for $2650 free shipping. $1000 core charge also. But fro what you have stated your core might not be any good. It does say you have to pay shipping on the core return. On top of that I dont anything about them other than what I read their website. 

Please be sure to read up on them and make sure there a good company, I'm hoping to find that mine can be built and if So I'm going to do it, I'm very ocd about something being done right, well I'm a mechanic for a living and have to be and after being burned like this I'd have a hard time trusting anyone else, 

This is what I found under thef tail housing

I tell everyone to run from that clown (cpp). I have a source in Texas with a fb buddy that does an excellent job with these transmissions. Good luck in any dealings with cpp. He WILL blame you for the failure, it is never his fault.

That's amazing. Just another reason to be careful who you let out work to.

 

I just paid $3400 for my Getrag rebuild. I brought it to Source automotive thinking they'd do the work, but no, they shipped it out to a place called Larry Morton Transmission who I had do one other trans in the past. I was very upset to say the least. So you have to watch out they don't start shipping out all their work too.

 

I nust say that Source Automotive has always done top notch work for me. Always. Keeping my fingers crossed this trans was done right, but it does 'pop at times going into gear and has a slight grinding sound under a load going up hill. Only I know the truck well enough to hear it.

Yeap  this trans was less than a month out of warranty when failed and I like to never got a hold of them and all they said was too bad, I could ship it to them and pay for the repair, heck  no I'll not sends it to them I'll fix it right well hope full if the main case and gears aren't trash, cpp is a crook company

Do you care to share who this fb buddy is? There is no way I am going to tackle mine.

Absolutely. Cody Albrecht.

Yea he builds a lot of them look as to do a pretty good job, there not that complicatedyou just have to pay attention and be clean, and build it right, and make sure the parts are not worn out which apparently cpp don't do

Is he local to your area and does he take work from out of town?

No sir, I am in Michigan. He is in Texas and yes they will take out of town work.

Well guys got back on the trans today and found its not really worth building. Found the input shaft hole in the bell housing worn out, rthe race just falls out and cpp had glued the race in with sealer, also found th st the main shaft where the  rear bearing sits had had a bearing failure and welded a old bearing on the shaft and cpp had cut the old bearing off with a torch and cut in to the shaft and didn't clean it up, also found that there are several syncr slider rings slap worn out

A GOOD company could fix the race issue. It just depends how much they would charge. Those cases aren't exactly a dime a dozen. 

I'm just not sure it worth trying to fix I'll end up with as much as I had in the replacement trans to begin with

The way I look at it you're kinda screwed either way. If you buy another replacement, they may not accept yours as a good core. If you get that one rebuilt they may charge an arm and a leg to fix it. 

I'm sorta beginning to wonder if it'd be cheaper to swap in a nv4500
