You want the one that bolts between the trans and tansfer case, forget which one.

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?
