I need to know, preferably with a link to a reference that confirms your answer beyond doubt, what transmission model is used on a 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 Cummins turbodiese, 6-speed manual.
The truck is a dooley, Laramie trim level.
 
There are 2 possibilities.
It's either the new Venture 5600 (NV5600) or the gertag G56
You can tell the difference by the shifter.
If reverse is away from the driver and towards the dash it's the NV5600.
If reverse is towards the driver and back towards the seat you've got the G56.
Both good transmissions but the NV5600 is easier to rebuild and parts are cheaper.
Best of luck with it!
