What did I just take out of a 2003 Dodge 3500?

If it spun in the case. That's a bigger problem. Those aren't very good trannies.

You guys are scaring me.....
what caused the failure ?
run it low on lube ?
It was low on lube, but I am not sure why. Seems like the lube was coming from the top? It had two PTO coolers on it.

They are great when stock and not abused.
After they are rebuilt, all bets are off. O.E. quality parts are not available.

If it's not over filled the output bearing doesn't get enough lube. That's right from stock. Poor geometry. I had one just like that except the race spun in the case. Case is junk. If the case is junk you have nothing but a pile of parts.
There's a reason the production run of the nv5600 was only 4 years and the G56 is approaching 10 years and counting.
It's silly to fear an aluminum case and believe a cast iron case is some how superior. Go shift a G56 truck they shift like heaven compared to the slow clunky notchy nv5600.
There's also a few aluminum cased transfercases I'd choose to use long before a np205 as well.

I'll know more when the new race shows up, but it fell out of the case....
No one is making an oversized race to repair the case?

I believe Loctite make a product for spun races.
Or I could take it to the blacksmith shop in Spalding and have them fix it.

Locktite green is sleeve retainer. I can double check the number for you in half an hour. It well may work to hold the race in. But your on borrowed time the second you put it to work that way. Is it worth it? Just depends on how often you like pulling 250lb transmissions and spending a metric ****ton of money on them.
It's not mine. It's a customers. Oh, and it's 400 lbs......

What year is it? If it's a 1 1/4" I out shaft. You are using a 12 1/4" clutch and you are no stronger than an older nv4500 input. Because they share the same input. The late 2000+ use a 1 3/8" input with 13" clutch.

Ya I've done it before just couldn't remember the number.
It's a 2003.

Oh I see the header 2003. Gotcha.
I was really hoping to not have to take it this far apart.

I used the green loctite before on a wheel bearing race, had good luck with it, but ive never used it in this application. That is a big mofo though.
Oddly enough, the new race fit tight in the case.
