CPP EXTREME DUTY NV4500 TRANSMISSION FOR 1994-2003 DODGE RAM

Product Description

CPP Hardened Gear Extreme Duty NV4500 Transmission

For more than 16 years, CPP Diesel has built Extreme Duty NV4500 transmissions for Cummins owners who demand more than a standard rebuild. When horsepower, heavy towing, oversized tires, aggressive clutch engagement, and power shifting began pushing factory NV4500 gears beyond their limits, we developed CPP Hardened Gear Technology to build a transmission designed for today's high-torque diesel trucks.

Every CPP Hardened Gear Extreme Duty NV4500 is built to order using premium internal components, carefully inspected parts, and our hardened gear process that has been proven in work trucks, tow rigs, street trucks, sled pullers, and high-performance diesel applications throughout North America.

Why Factory NV4500 Gears Fail

The factory NV4500 was designed for stock horsepower levels. Today's Cummins trucks frequently produce significantly more torque than the original transmission was engineered to handle. Heavy towing, oversized tires, upgraded clutches, performance tuning, sled pulling, drag racing, and aggressive shifting place tremendous shock loads on the gear teeth.

Those increased loads are one of the reasons factory gear failures can occur in modified trucks.

The CPP Difference

Rather than simply rebuilding another stock transmission, CPP Diesel builds every Extreme Duty NV4500 around our hardened gear process. The result is a transmission engineered specifically for the way diesel enthusiasts actually use their trucks today.

Our hardened gears have been trusted by Cummins owners for more than 16 years because durability—not minimum cost—has always been our priority.
