I know this topic has been beat to death. Sorry! I just bought a 2001 4 x 4 five speed with the NV 4500. At this time there has been no failure. My thinking is open up the back of the transmission verify torque and weld the nut to get some more life before an ultimate rebuild. Maybe that would be a waste of time and effort? TIA

Thank you

I know the proper fix is rebuild with upgraded shaft, but I thought I’d be alright to weld it (gently) lol, get some more miles out of it , then when it ultimately failed pull it and do it right. I should just pull it now and do it? At this time it hasn’t been touched. No previous failure

I just bought this unmolested 01 4x4 ,5spd NV 4500. I was about ready to open it up , verify torque and tig weld a 1/4” at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock. Maybe I shouldn’t bother?

I don’t see a link for garage either. Edit profile?

How do I edit signature. I’m pretty sure I started a sig last night, but I can’t find it. I’m not seeing a link for sig………

Thanks Fellas

Just got back in the Cummins program. I’ve owned a couple , years ago , but as pickups go sometimes, they weren’t around long enough to get very familiar. Just got a 2001 4x4 bone stock Quad Cab. Pretty excited about fixing this thing up and having a good dependable ride under me for many yrs. I’ve worked with diesels most of my life ,so I’m not totally ignorant. Thanks
