    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Finally got the 3 cyl mode to work, however truck also gelled up

    Fuel Gelling Yes, I've had the exact same problem. I called Stanadyne & they said, join the crowd. A mining co. with 17 vehicles was totally shut down. The problem is the ULSD is not being cut with kerosene & your additive will not make up for poor treatment by the distributor. ULS kerosene is...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) NV-5600 to Getrag 6 speed, possible?

    G56 Egaskamp; You must have got a bad one. The G56 shifts like a hot knife through butter. You might have meant the low ratio gearing which is less than desireable for many people. With 373 gearing the G56 truck tachs like a NV5600 truck with 410's. The G56 needs 3. 5 dif. gearing for most...

    nv5600 parts NV5600 parts are on the way from Blumenthal Heavy Duty. In early 2007 the parts shortage is supposed to be taken care of. As of right now they are building trans. for DC.

    Injectors NFG, Warranty NFG.

    Dc, Warrantee Problems,amf I went around with DC over a VP44 pump failure. My diesel engine warrantee started at the end of the basic 3/36 warrantee. So after 3/36 I thought my warrantee would start, silly me. It was explained to me that I was reading the warrantee "wrong". I guess you need a...

    G56 Sure Sounds Better Than NV5600 In Issue 53 of the TDR.

    G56 plastic gears Anybody know anything about the plastic gears in the G56? To get off the subject a little, how much is the computor cutting back power in the lower gears of the CR trucks when unloaded. I personally can't see any more than 200hp in these engines. An early VP44 truck (215hp)...

    your impressionon G56 transmission

    G56 Vs 5600 I drove a 2003 with the 5600 & couldn't believe how vauge & hard it was to find the gears. Maybe this was just a bad transmission. I recently drove a 2005 with the G56 & this shifted great, a night & day difference. There was no gear noise, this was very nice! I remarked how the truck...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) VP44,Play It Again

    I was hoping for some info. from someone with more fuel injection experience than my self. My personal opinion is that the VP44 & it's type was never meant to pump 4500 psi. This is a cheaper pump & I believe that is why it was used. Couldn't an electronic coupling have been put in front of the...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Can I put a mechanical fuel pres. guage in cab??

    mechanical gauge I installed an Autometer mechanical gauge w-isolator. It lasted about 15 minutes before it rattled itself to death. I got my $140. 00 back. Autometer said this application required an electric gauge. The vane pump pulses more than you can believe. I installed a glycerin filled...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) R.A.S.P. pressure

    Rasp reply As I said many people love their Rasp pumps & Graphic man is no exception. I don't believe there is any feed pump that will last forever, I was relaying what was told to me. I wanted TDR members to understand that yes something can go wrong. What I believe Rasp meant to advertise is...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) R.A.S.P. pressure

    Rasp,do You Feel Lucky? I was ready to buy a Rasp. I confess I was somewhat turned off by the 1930's style gear pump (Brown & Sharpe style). Many members had good luck though & nothing tolerates more impurities than a gear pump. I called Olee, Power By Poole & he doesn't carry these anymore. As...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Acceptable transmission Fluids?

    Trans Oil DTT does not reccomend +4 because of the friction modifiers that are in it. I believe this is for all 47re's. I personally use +4 & at 135,000 it shifts like new. We see -20 here & I feel better with synthetic fluid. I am going to change to Valvoline synthetic as I can get it for...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 47RE stuck in 1st. Try this first.

    Stuck in first Absolutly, I had first & reverse only. I read these posts & replaced the sender in the Napa parking lot , 2 minutes tops. It shifted like a new transmission. I got the "expensive" Echlin sender for $21. 00. Thanks, Randy 99, 2500,2w dr

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Need Warrantee Help with injector pump

    Dodgeing your warrantee I sued DC in small claims over this exact language with my 99 pump failure. The CTD warrantee starts at the end of the basic 3/36 warrantee. I lost at the first trial, the judge conveniently couldn't understand the language of the contract. I appealed for a jury trial...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Ball joint press adaptor for a 1999 2wd 2500

    Hi Aarlucas; Good luck getting the uppers to stay in. Mine were in for about 4 miles before they both popped out. You get a good press fit on a new arm & on mine, no 2nd chance. I'll probably have to replce my control arms. I pressed them in with an OTC press bought off Ebay for about $85. 00...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Dead Pedal Society

    Hi Brian; Mine did the same thing. It did throw a code & it was apps & computor voltage not the same. The code was cleared & I haven't had trouble since, knock on wood. Randy
