Gear Vendor overdrive Kits are Complete with Adapters

Gear Vendors overdrive Kits are Complete with Adapters Our Gear Vendorss overdrives are supplies with specific adaptation kits for each model of transmission model, the kits are completed. By supplying specific extension housings to each model/brand transfer case Gear VendorsS is able to have a better product with increased engineering benefit to the final installation. Fact is, when you are in 4X4 there is very little desire to use GearSplitting and overdrive unless you are racing (and we do make the in-between kit for that purpose), it's 2wd where the benefits of overdrive and additional gears are most needed, see YOUTUBE video for more information.  All our kits bolt directly to the rear of the transmission, you can manually control the unit or we suggest you flip switch when leaving city limits sign and turn it off when you get to next city limit sign. No additional crossmembers are required and you retain the factory ground clearance instead of moving the transfer case rearward which puts it at or nearer the middle of the wheelbase where ground clearance is most critical. You get all the benefits of the GearSplitting performance and overdrive economy (see your appropriate transmission under GM/Dodge/Ford 2wd) and the best auxiliary transmission you can buy.

Look at the FinalDrive Ratio charts and notice the great benefit in gear splitting with the Gear Vendorss. When you are climbing grades you will have a gear between 2nd/3rd and 3rd/4th that is ideal for keeping the engine in the power and the torque multiplication up. Look at the horsepower and torque curves and noticethat by keeping the engine in the power band you will gain 50+ horse power and 60+lb. ft. of torque without any modifications to the engine.

The more heavily you are loaded the more you need our overdrive unit and when you are heavy you would do best by not using 5th but instead use 4th+GearVendors (4th over). This will keep your transmission temperature as much as 100 degrees cooler (extending transmission life) and puts the stress on the Gear Vendorss planetary gearing which is much stronger than your 5th gear.

When you are running empty, 5th-over (double overdrive) will net you better fuel mileage and far less engine wear at today’s 75mph speed limits. Not only is the engine turning slower but so are all of the engine driven accessories and this cuts down on parasitic losses (turning an a/c compressor or alternator slower greatly reduces the load on the engine).

For the empty truck which never tows and is never driven above 55-60mph the stock transmission is good, but for everyone else the extra gears will give great performance gains that will actually pay for them selves many timesover the life of the vehicle. Even the resale value of your truck will improve by more then the cost of the Gear Vendorss because you will be able to point out that the engine has seen better care and effectively far less miles than other used trucks.

If you tow or run at speeds above 70mph there is just no good reason not to have a Gear Vendorss UNDER/OVERDRIVE.  

Find you transmission and rear gear multipliers below. The Final Drive Ratio shows you how many times the engine turns for one complete turnof tires. This Final Drive number is also your torque multiplier when in that gear.Gear Vendorss reputation for being to best is because of its sophisticated planetaryconstruction. This means Gear Vendorss is the only auxiliary intended as a gear splitterbehind automatics and the nicest to work behind both automatics and manuals. You are able to shift half gears that keep the engine in the power. Any auxiliary that requires you to let off of the accelerator or is not intended to shift frequently is not going to give you this performance.
