I take it you don't mean the one in the pic. It's an automatic.

The pic is definitely the auto, please let us know you knew that. Anyway, the fastest way to tell the 6 speeds apart is by looking at the case. The NV is Iron & the Getrag is Aluminum.

when did they increase the torque? I looked at the cummins in that ad and it said 610 tq@1600. I haven't kept up... .

I can't find any pics of the 6er so I was wondering if it is still the great NV-5600 or the new aluminum Getreg. As of now my stealership doesn't know anything about the new transmission!

I found the gear ratios of the new Getrag transmission and the OD is a 0. 79!!! That means the motor has to turn more to maintain the same speed, right. For me that is another reason to try to get one of the last 04. 5 or 05 NV-5600's while they last.

I have read about Getrag (G36)? transmission to replace the NV5600 I can't recall where, may have been on this site.



I called the customer line at Dodge.com spoke to a fellow who said that the NV5600 was not going to be replaced.



Please anyone can you shed some lite on this subject as I am looking to buy a New 2500 w/ 6sp and will up my time table if I need to.

Please advise Thanks

Hello,





If you go over to www.pickuptruck.com, you can find a thread with some info on the new Dodge Ram Power Wagon. This thread is located at:



http://forums.pickuptruck.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=381835&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1



In this thread, it says that the Power wagon comes with either the 5-speed automatic, or the new G56 Getrag transmission. I would almost be willing to bet the ranch that this will be the new 6-speed in the 06 Ram HD's.



Just my . 02 Cents!
