Gear Vendors Over/Underdrive for 68RFE

[PLanciers]

All,

As mentioned in my first thread here on TDR Just finalized my purchase of a 6.7L 68RFE 3500 4X2 Laramie Mega Cab! , I've been looking seriously at adding this Gear Vendors capability to the 3500 SRW Laramie MegaCab I have on order. Learning that they are located in an adjacent town here in SoCal, prompted me to visit with them yesterday to investigate the posibilities. I will share here with you lessons learned as I proceed toward a possible aquisition of their Over/UnderDrive unit http://www.gearvendors.com/ .

First news I can share with you is that they have already adapted one of their units for the AISIN transmission, that's right C&C owners they've already engineered your solution and shown it a Custom Brilliant Red C&C at the 2007 San Diego Auto Show, someone may have a shot of that sharp beast out there the day I attended I spaced and left my camera home, BajaBob maybe you?

Gear Vendors is currently awaiting drawings of the 68RFE case from mother Mopar to determine exactly how to interface both 4X2 and 4X4 applications, but they expect no major hurdles here. We sat down with the Ratios to see what the numbers would reveal and I can share that data here even though it is not yet posted on their site. Understand that this unit is a gear splitter and as such will split rations between all the first 5 factory ratios and overdrive the 6th. That said not all split ratios will necessarily offer utility, the ones that GV feel will, are hi-lighted in the grey bars in the following attachment. Even more eyecatching though are the final drive ratios attainable and their fuel economy implications.
