I made a difficult decision. We got a Gear Vendors overdrive unit for the service truck! With all the labor I got into this thing I wanted to have an overdrive unit on the automatic C6 transmission. I really don't' want my 460 wearing out anytime soon, and since it has plenty of low end torque I thought this would be a proper upgrade. My channel is for entertainment purposes only. Please don't repeat my shenanigans however epic they may be. Enjoy

Good video as always. Had the Swede pegged as a dog person. A guard cat with an astronaut as best friend? As for the overdrive concept for non-mechanics like myself, I'd always assumed they were kind of like a 4th gear. From your responses in the comments, overdrives sound more like a split rear end used in heavy trucks that give them a high/low range for each gear. Finally, looking forward to hearing the New Yorker purr like a kitten (or maybe a guard cat)!

Hi Chris! Well, I have been preoccupied all week, so I was looking forward to watching some videos and relaxing a bit. Guess who was on the agenda? Another good one!

you showed the viewers how to install that overdrive without all the flashy bullshit that other channels spews. Im saving your video to guide me through my installation on my 1968 Road Runner. And I thank you Sir.

I just bought a new-old-stock one of these (tagged as "Laycock P Type" but in ancient Gear Vendors boxes) with a new-old-stock C6 tailpiece. It's missing the yoke, wiring/controller, and the speedometer gear but it does have the disc bushings and the coupler. One can make a wiring harness easily that can do most things the original controller could but you do have to turn it on/off manually more than "auto mode" with the controller. But considering I got a never used unit with the coupler and tailpiece for $1500 (less than half of brand new) I can't complain.

More lubrication is always more better. So is this a selectable overdrive with a switch on the shifter?

How did this unit end up working out for you? Thinking about getting one for my 74 F250. The engine is screaming at modern highway speeds. Thanks!

I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to put a gear vendor in my OBS F-350 dually with ZF5 or put an RTO6610 in it. Thoughts?

I did a C6 with gearvendors conversion on my dads 64 galaxie. Trying to get that thing installed with a harbor freight scissor trans jack by myself was a chore....LOL the gearvendors does reduce the engine RPM quite a bit.

I have to apologize to you. When you pished the bushing out of the housing, I thought you were trying to mount it and I said out loud "Turn it around, Dummy". I guess I was the dummy and figured I owed you an apology.

I have a 1999 F-550 7.3l Powerstroke, its got 4.88 gears, ZF6 with 4x4, and at highway speeds its doing like 3k rpm, I'd re-gear it to 3.70 but they don't make gears for the spicer G175-T axle that small and matching it up to the Dana in the front will be hard since they only come in 3.73, do you think this is a worthwhile solution to get the rpm's down when cruising at highway speed, or should I just look at fabricating it to a different transmission or maybe even a Spicer 4 speed auxiliary from a semi? I'd have to avoid 4x4 in certain gears though for sure. I plan on doing hotshot work with it hauling bigger loads as this truck was made to haul.

Very good work! 🔧🔩 Is the transmission cross member changed due to the longer tail shaft?
