So guys I apologize if I already asked this but I looked through my post and can't see that I did. I know where there's a 2001 HO with a 6 spd for sale but it's 2 wheel drive. What is the big difference between the 2 and 4 wheel drive in regards to the 6 spd. I'm having a brain wave of buying the truck and parting it out , selling the engine and rest of the stuff off the truck and keeping the 6 spd for a spare or parts for mine. Not sure how much the engine would be worth, 355 km on it but still running decent form what i'm being told.

Should be able to get $1500 +/- for the motor if it runs good. As far as the trans goes, probably just tail shaft and tail housing are different from 4wd to 2wd.

This might help....... http://dodgeram.org/tech/transmission/nv5600_spec.html Jeff

I have a question about my NV5600 as well. Over the past few months my tranny has been getting a little harder to shift. It doesnt slide into gear as easily anymore. I figured the stock hydro's were on their way out with 200,000 miles on em. I replaced them with Valair hydros's from DAP. It helped a bit, but it is still catching before it actually slips into gear. I always use the clutch fully when I shift. Would servicing the fluid help my situation at all? I dont have the money to be building a transmission right now and I need to make it last as long as possible. I have the problem in all gears BTW. Thank you in advance:smart:

Try changing the fluid, less that $100 and aint going to hurt. I used Penzoil syncromesh for manual transmission, cheaper then Mopar fluid. Whatever you use, make sure it matches the requirements for the transmission so you dont take a chance of doing damage. Alot of people add a bit extra when doing it, claims it helps lubricate some gears a bit better then just using the called for amount.

Ok I will do that. Where should my clutch pedal be adjusted to? The valair is adjustable. I though maybe re adjusting would help.

Yep same issue here.... way over due anyways

Changed the fluids in the tranny and transfer case. Both needed it pretty bad. Shifts so much nicer now...
