Just to clarify for anyone who may be interested, gear splitters work for every gear. So when he said "7th gear" it would technically be 12th

That is completely and utterly Awesome 🤩

Just a few weeks ago, I scored a "very nice for it's age", 05 5.9 Cummins with the g56 behind the motor. Mine like yours, without the gear vendors, it screams like a banshee with the 3.73 gears at highway speeds. The plan is to do the same to mine next spring, towards summer. Right now it's in the middle of winter here in northern Indiana, and being my brother and I would be doing the install ourselves, and under a shade tree. Warmer weather is a must.

That’s rad!!! I never thought to put that behind the 6speed! When I have my 04.5 with the NV5600 it droned so bad while towing nice work great video😃

That's what I have now! Was considering this set up. It's not recommended to use double overdrive (7th, lol) when towing.

Man, I have never shifted my 5.9 at 3000rpm like you are doing at the beginning of the video lol. I shift at like 2000 when unloaded and cruising around, 2500 if i'm towing heavy and need the power. I'd feel like i'm going to blow something up taking it to 3k.

Great video James! Definitely appreciate the time showcasing your setup. I don't know how many times I have tried finding a hidden 7th gear while cruising at 75 MPH on the highway. lol Did you have to modify the drive shaft at all to utilize the gear splitter?

Did you have Gear Vendors install it? I'm assuming shorten driveshaft? Are all the gears spread fairly evenly or is there any overlap when splitting. When splitting do you just flip the switch and back off the throttle? I've been looking into this for while but never pulled the trigger.

James, we have a 2006 Ram 3500 4x4 5.9 crd Cummins 6spd and looking into the gear Vendors U/O Drive for our truck. What length would be needed for the new driveshaft?

@jameshole4431 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Matt, I don’t have that truck any longer. I had a fellow in Cincinnati OH install the Gear Vendors overdrive, and they sent the driveshaft out for machining. You don’t need a new shaft, you will just have a machine shop cut the old one, install the yoke and re-balance. Doesn’t add much cost. Take care.

Hi Daniel, I sold the truck. As noted on the video, the unit was $3,200 new and you then need to have your drive shaft shortened and balanced. Worked great gearvendors.com.

@Eric2300jeep 2 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't. And there shouldn't be any need to if you're obeying towing speed limits. I only use OD while towing with my NV4500 if I have a very light load, flat ground & can maintain rpm's at 1,800 or higher. You're just asking for trouble otherwise.
