Here are the symptoms I had when the dealer replaced my G56: 1) Very difficult to get into 1st or 2nd gear from a standstill - sometimes real hard! 2) A growling noise when the clutch was released in neutral - was getting progressively louder 3) If in 1st or 2nd gear and the clutch was...

SRowle, Do you have any additional information on the updated DM flywheel that the dealer installed in your truck? Do you have a part number or did they say what was different about the flywheel? Thanks, Robert

Wayne, The ECM is a Mopar unit with a Mopar Performance part number. I don't know how this might differ from a typical 4. 0 Cherokee or Wrangler in the '94 time period. The installation manual stated that electronics and fuel delivery service specifications should follow '94 guidelines...

Wayne, I got one of the very first kits available back in '95 or '96. I had just rebuilt the motor and it was 100% stock. You are correct - the kit pretty much mimics a '94 4. 0 multiport FI setup. There are a lot of common parts between the kit and the '94 4. 0. The install was involved but...

Wayne, Thank you for the information. I need some warranty things taken care of and I was trying to decide which dealer to go to. Although Somerset is not very convenient for me, I may try them out. Robert

I purchased my '05 in late August 2005. I have 3000 miles on it. Problem areas: G56 trans replaced at 400 miles Replacement G56 has a buzz in 5th gear LF tire loses 2 pounds of air a week - no resolution yet 2 cab clearance lights are getting moisture in them - have not addressed this with...

Noise in G56 My G56 makes a buzz/rattle in 5th gear. If I put a little pressure on the shifter, the noise stops. I have not gone back to the dealer yet. The truck has less than 3000 miles. GRanney - did replacing the seal stop the shifter rattle? Robert

My '05 came with the factory Sirius system. Like Brian, I already had a XM subscription. I took the "free" year of Sirius from Dodge and I installed an Delphi Skyfi 2 for XM. Two sat radios - it will be fun for the next half year. I like XM better, but I am biased because I have been a XM...

My G56 makes a buzzing noise in 5th gear. Oddly enough, sometimes acceleration will cause the noise and other times letting off of of the throttle will bring on the buzz. The noise is more noticable with a load. transmission has about 1400 miles on it. Robert

Because I do as much of my own maintenance as possible, I am very interested to find out what the "official" word is on the fluid level of these G56 trannys. With all of the posts I have seen about low fluid level, I have not seen any reference to a factory TSB or other bulletin on the subject...

I just mounted my toolbox. I agree with Alan - use J hook bolts. That way you only drill holes in the tool box. I used the L bracket braces and the fancy J hooks from the Mopar tool box mounting kit. Besides bracing the side rails to the front rail of the bed, the L brackets provided additional...

Jay, Can you tell me the number of the TSB you are referring to on the fluid level? I have looked at the some of the sites where the TSBs are listed. I missed the one about fluid level on a G56. Thanks, Robert

My G56 failed very early. At about 300 miles the symptoms were: 1) Very difficult to get into 1st or 2nd gear from a standstill - sometimes real hard! 2) A growling noise when the clutch was released in neutral - was getting progressively louder 3) If in 1st or 2nd gear and the clutch was...

Interesting. My gauges did the exact same thing last night. This was the first time in 3 months of ownership that I noticed this. I normally keep a pretty sharp eye on the "wait to start" light. Somehow I may have missed this gauge behavior earlier. Is this gauge needle jumping considered normal...

I don't know if anyone has actually damaged their trucks but DC does say to install this kit if you are going to mount a toolbox. I have the kit but I have not installed it yet. I just ordered a tool box last week. The kit consists of 2 predrilled steel L brackets that are riveted to the bed...

My '05 has a thin coat of black paint all over a lot of things underneath the truck. And as noted, there is plenty of overspray on things that make it obvious this was done with the majority of components already installed on the truck. Pretty cheesy looking when viewed from under the truck...

I purchased the Mopar bed reinforcement kit based on the information in the owners manual. As mentioned earlier, the kit has 2 steel L brackets, 1/4" rivets, and some fancy welded J hooks for securing your box. I have not installed a box yet so I did not install the kit. The kit does not...

My First G56 Problems At about 300 miles the symptoms were: 1) Very difficult to get into 1st or 2nd gear from a standstill - sometimes real hard! 2) A growling noise when the clutch was released in neutral - was getting progressively louder 3) If in 1st or 2nd gear and the clutch was pushed...

My replacement G56 makes a "ticking" noise in 5th gear. Almost like a high frequency valve tap. This is the only gear that I hear the noise. The noise is faint and I do not notice it if I am listening to the radio. I have about 600 miles on this trans. On the first G56 in my truck, I didn't...
