For those of you who have either the Gear Vendor or US Gear Over/Under drive units I would like to hear your comments. How long have you had it...any problems with the units...advantages of either unit...positive and negative comments welcome.
Thanks,
Griz

Re: Gear Vendor or US Gear Over/Under drive units.
Griz,
I ran a US Gear under drive for twelve years with no problems. It was mounted between the transmission and the transfer case. I loved that truck and hated selling it. Gear Vendor is sold only as an overdrive and it replaces the tail cone on the transfer case or transmission.
Re: Gear Vendor or US Gear Over/Under drive units.
Wonderer54...what type of transmission were you using with the US Gear Over/Under drive unit? Who did the install for you? Did you notice any mileage gains or just made it easier when towing to have more gears available?
