The NV5600 was originally standard behind the high output 5.9L Cummins engine. The early NV5600 version, which was produced from 1998 midway thru 2000 is known to have synchronizer problems and a weak input shaft. In 2001, the NV5600 received an upgraded clutch, input shaft, and improved synchro design. This was in response to many issues owners had regarding these components, especially while towing heavy loads. All of our NV5600 units are completely upgraded and are backed by a warranty depending on your needs.
