1.1 MILLION MILE NV5600 TEARDOWN!

We had the awesome opportunity to tear into a 2001 Dodge NV5600 from a semi-local car hauler, that had an astonishing 1,160,000 miles on the clock. He was on the road unloaded and experienced a failure of 6th and then 5th gear, and brought it over to us for a rebuild. He stated the transmission was rebuilt previously at 700k miles. Very cool experience!

    Why am I watching you rebuild a transmission that I don’t even have? Because it’s relaxing ha. Your shop is top notch and your helper is awesome. Dude makes me look lazy when I work on projects haha

    That looks like a testament to preventative maintenance and quality lubricants, as well as responsible driving, all paying off!

    Synthetic oil does the tarnish color most of the time.

    Thanks for sharing. What type of symptoms do you think the owner would have seen or felt prior to his major failure on both the Nv4500 and the NV5600, or what should we be paying attention to ? How often do you recommend changing the oil on the NV4500 and NV5600?

    I’ve been asking, at what point should you consider a rebuild?

    Only when there’s symptoms presenting. If they’re cared for and working well, they can easily last 700k+.
