Tech Note 1: Housing Specs
QU10024 Dodge NV4500HD 4x2 Tailshaft housing is approximately 11-7/8"” long. The casting number is 18171. The bolt pattern on the front is the universal NV4500 8 bolt main case to rear housing pattern.

Tech Note 2: Speedometer Sensors
Dodge used a transmission mounted, gear driven electronic speedometer sensor for 1994-1997 4x2 trucks. QU10024 Tailshaft Housing is machined to accept the speedometer drive gear and sensor. 1998 and later vehicles utilize the rear axle mounted ABS sensor for the speedometer signal.

Tech Note 3: Sealants
Early production NV4500 Transmissions used an anaerobic sealant (QU90003) to seal between the main case and input bearing retainer, top cover, and rear housing. Mid-production units used anaerobic sealant just on the input retainer and RTV for everything else. Later production transmissions used black RTV Sealant (QU90006 or QU90005) for everything. Either type of sealant works fine (except the PTO covers ALWAYS should be sealed with RTV), but I prefer RTV for all components. Regardless of which sealant you use, make sure excess sealant does not block the lube access hole at the top of input retainer pilot that fits into the transmission case! Also, the threaded holes in the main case for the four retainer bolts and 12 PTO bolts are open ended, so you must use new bolts with factory applied threadlocker or apply Threadlocker (S24200) to your existing bolts to prevent oil seepage past the bolt threads. See my TM1003 NV4500 Shop Manual or VSG1003DVD NV4500 Overhaul Video for more information.
