    Gear Vendors Overdrive

    Well, I emailed Advanced Adaptors and this was their response Unfortunately, we do not have any plans to bring it back, and we do not have any inventory left to make any units. Thanks Orren Euler Technical Sales That sucks. After reading up on em a little bit the Ranger units seem like the...

    Gear Vendors Overdrive

    Well that seems kinda shady. I don't know if I could buy a $3000 anything that the manufacturer won't supply parts/support for. Everything wears out or breaks eventually.

    Hmm....that sounds interesting. I had no idea such a thing existed. I'm definitely going to check that out. Thanks!

    Gear Vendors Overdrive

    Well, maybe so but not for long. It's been my experience that with any hard use they need rebuilt every few years. I drove a 87 1/2 ton 4x4 on 38s for 10yr & had to rebuild the 700 in that truck twice. My current daily driver is a 89 c1500. I've had if for 7yr now & I'm on trans number 3. I...

    10-4. To clarify I had no intention of trying to use the OD unit while in 4wd. I'm not sure why you would even want to. I was just wondering if all that extra meat behind the T-case would weaken the driveline.

    My m1028 has a SM465/np205 & I've been wanting to do a NV4500 swap for the 5th gear because 3k at 60mph sucks bad. Then I started looking at putting a Gear Vendors OD on the set-up I already have. The only way I'd go nv4500 is if I can find an early one because I'm not willing to loose my...
