    Anyone still G56 Swapping from Auto?

    I'm getting ready to go the other direction and install and Allison. I've got 60k on a rebuilt G56 and 32K on the South bend duals with upgraded hyds. Just checking to see if there's still a market to recoup some of the cost of the Allison swap. Gunner

    8 years of changing steering components...FINALLY RIGHT!!!!

    This is going to be long, but hopefully it can help someone that might have the same issue: I've upgraded literally every steering component on this truck over the last 8 years...mostly about 7 years ago. When I bought the truck with 78K on it, it wandered pretty significantly. I put a steering...

    Power Steering Pump Upgrade?

    What's everyone running now? I've searched several forums and there's a lot of info from 2009-2014, but nearly nothing since then. When searching the P/N's of the ones being upgraded to back then, most are discontinued? Since the factory box went to the great junkyard in the sky at around 140K...

    Too much Fuel Filtration?

    Having just built and broken in my engine, with it far overbuilt for how hard I'll be running it (1000+hp capable), I'll be running it around 700-ish to keep from breaking the G56. I want the engine to last as long as possible, hence nearly all new parts went into it with the exception of the...

    for those wondering or considering Compounds...

    YES...it's worth it! So I've recently done a lengthy build thread about my trials, but yesterday I had the opportunity to try the truck in a true towing situation...and...just....WOW! I had to help a buddy go get a truck that wasn't running....it's an 8200 lb truck, on a 2700lb car trailer...

    My build mistake...and resultant Horrors

    This is a very long post, but if anyone can learn from my frustrations and mistakes, I’m willing to share my trials and mistakes along the way. I loaned my ’05, G56 4X4 with 230,000 miles on it to a buddy of mine back in July to use to move his household goods. Awesome guy, retired Military...

    Any Builders available?

    Waiting on Pistons, but have everything else to machine block and heads and about ready to start machining. I'm waiting on the service manual I ordered to get here and have been reading everything I can about building these 5.9's. I've built pretty much every American V8 available in the last...

    Been watching and learning...here goes...

    Hi all, I posted a lengthy intro and when I hit submit, it said I didn't log in...so this one will be a lot shorter :( I retired from the Marine Corps 6 years ago after over 30 years active. I live outside Pensacola, FL. I'm on my 3rd Cummins, a '99 bought new from Military Overseas sales in...
