Re: NV4500 swap is underway

Larry,
I agree, time will tell. When I researched these nv's before getting mine I found they rarely succumb to a catastrophic failure with the proper lubricant level and type. Even the typical dodge 5th gear failure will usually still allow the transmission to function in all other gears. I did notice while carefully inspecting mine that it had a number of bearings that were not looking good with some scoring. However mine had lots of miles, nearly 200k in a heavy application that was towing to boot, and as previously noted my 5th gear is loose on the shaft. Everything else looked really good.

Your interior really looks great!! The seat upholstery really look a lot better.
