Tech Notes & Fitment

  • Year splits: NV5600 through early ’05; G56 from ~’05.5–’07. 48RE automatics across ’03–’07.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s special about CPP’s Extreme Duty NV4500/NV5600/G56?

They’re CPP-exclusive manual builds with upgraded internals and assembly practices to handle Cummins torque with smoother shifts and higher durability. See our manuals hub for specs and availability by year.

Should I choose NV5600 or G56 for my 03–07?

’03–’05 trucks typically use NV5600; ’05.5–’07 use G56. If you’re swapping, NV5600 is a cast-iron tank with close ratios; G56 is lighter with great shift feel. We can match gearing, clutch, and hydraulics to your power and use case.

Best reliability upgrades for a 48RE tow rig?

Start with a quality build (SunCoast/BD), add a deep pan, metal pressure transducer upgrade, and braided line/bypass kit to control heat and line pressure.

Which transfer case parts do I need for a rebuild?

Match NP271 vs NP273, then choose a rebuild kit (bearings/seals), chain, input/output shafts, and any worn forks. Our 271/273 section groups everything by platform.
