This reminds me of the 85 corvette 4x3 transmission

I have one in a 85' Ford 6.9 , ATS Turbo with a C6. I find that the C6 is in top gear at about 30 and then I will use the OD only if I am getting on a road cruising 55+. I run 4.10's and they are great around town but the OD turns it to a 3.22 on the highway. It would be nicer in a manual I think but really mandatory on 4.10's either way.

Not very sure but It might be that 4h is higher than 5L so there is some practicality maybe skip that or go 4L to 5L then go up to 4H back to 5H maybe I might be wrong

You ever end up selling the gv unit?

Did you ever have any problems with it and would you recommend this other than just putting a 6 speed?

I wonder if a two speed rear would be about the same but cost less....

awesome stuff, we should probably drill with punches and gloves more at our bjj gym. this looks fun

Fun.

The thing that interior looks spotless the outside not so much! 😅😂

Yay...a truck

How it holding up so far?

That escape won't work if you're oppponent is heavy

Very helpful and informative video. Thanks for making this!

Thank you for sharing!

I just ordered a gv unit for my 97 ram 3500 and would like to see the install from under the truck I am planing on doing myself

Thanks, I have a G56 and im concerned about the little split between 4o and 5th. Also, i tow a lot will it handle the heat?

Reading through these comments. My poor truck (even with 295-70r17’s) only does 73 at 2k rpms. This is starting to sound more and more like something I should buy. 6spd and 4.10 gearing. 😅

I have a 2000 GMC Savana 1500 Van, 5.7L 350ci Gas V8, with 3.73 gearing in the back, from 60-80mph i get 13mpg. I wonder if a gearvendor would be worth it for better mileage, and less transmission/engine stress

Looks like you got yourself one of them there Unicorns Michael. The truck is in phenomenal condition, and the service records are just the icing on the cake. With proper maintenance, this vehicle should last for years. Very nice.

Just curious, how's your GV holding up? I just bought one second hand because I can't swallow the $3,500 price tag plus a custom driveshaft and install 😅

Great vidya

Oh wow. I want this

Did you need to get a different driveshaft?

Its You! Get that sweat on!

Very nice. Suggestion. Next time cover your dash with black cloth to kill reflections. In cinematography the cloth used comes on a long roll and isn’t cost-wise but it’s called Duvetyne. The less shiny the black cloth the better. Just a thought but as an old friend once said about something similar, if they’re lookin at that, they’re missing the point. Cheers 🤙

Beautiful!!! ♥️♥️♥️

I have the same setup with a 12 valve. It’s best millage is under 2k. Does it work good at 65 5 over?

I heard 2 old timers talkin about this auxiliary box in the store the other day. This is really neat. I drive truck everyday and pulling 80k you find yourself needin closer shift gears. Really amazed on what a difference this makes. Truck always stayed in its sweet spot C'mon. Gotta love it. Bitchin truck by the way.

So just to clarify, you can't split 2nd with the gear vendors becuase you don't have enough driveshaft speed? I have a 93 W350 with the 360 5 speed but I'm thinking of going with an NV4500 and this has my interest as well. The only issue I have is the drop between 2nd and 3rd can be a bit annoying when you have 10k lbs behind you. I guess realistically I could just swap out to 4.88s and then use this to split the higher gears and drop down to a 3.80 more less in 5th with the over if I'm making sense of this correctly.

I have 2006 ram 3500 with 6 speed manual and im interested in a gearvendor. Did you order from the website direct? did you do the install? how long did it take for the install and is it worth the expense. Im running 373 gears and have even found myself trying to shift into 7th gear. thanks again. nice setup. where are you located?

That's where I want to be @80...right where it's happiest

Could you put the link for this somewhere?

The higher gear ratio the less the split...3.55 doesn't seem like it helps much but if you switched to something 4.30+ ...that might be cool!

0:3 I will setup your blog and setup it to earn money w h a t s a p p +7 9 6 7 1 5 7 0 5 8 1

Nice video. How has the Gear Vendors held up? Do you haul any weight with it regularly? I have the same truck with the 6-speed, 3.55’s, and the same tires. Plenty of legs as is, but the split between gears is too much for hauling loads since I replaced the 16’s with the 17’s. Looking for a splitter, and it seems the GV is about the only solution without adapting a full-size truck transmission.

very impressive results

I could be mistaken but it sounded like you missed 1st over and 2nd over. I'm watching your gear changes and I thought I hear you go straight from 1st to 2nd.

Can you please make a video of how the shifting of the unit works? Is it a button?

So what kind of mileage increase did you get using this on the highway now? Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes and Blessings. Keith Noneya

5 speed? Thought those had the NV5600 6 speed?

Thanks for the vid. 5:30 was what I was most interested in because I want to put it behind a 4r100 so I can’t break torque on the shift like you can using the clutch.

You should do a video shifting 1, 2, 2od, 3, 3od, 4, 4od, 5od

Man 20 mph ... At the same RPM as standard 5th at 70 it was 1,600 RPM with 5 over I have a 69 f 250 3spd auto it seems alot more useful with a manual than a automatic trans say a older 4spd manual , I'm a trucker it seems very similar to a 13 spd or a fuller super 10

Do you push the clutch to go between a gear and its overdrive? Like going from 4 to 4-over?

Awesome video. I've been contemplating on geting a GV unit. I have a 94 Chevy K2500 with the 6.5 NV4500 and 4.10s and at 2600rpm I'm cooking a whopping 73mph on the interstate. Seeing this makes me want to order one tonight lol. I love driving the truck, plenty of power when pulling with 4.10s but it needs lower rpm on the interstate lol.

From what I've seen, the controller has an automatic mode. When you leave this on, does it shift out of overdrive when RPMs drop during upshift in automatic mode? Just curious, cause that would be really nice. I really need to get one of these.

I need to get one of those big time I have a 95 Dodge ram 3500 with the nv 4500 5 speed and i’m literally tacked out matted to the floor right up against the governor at about 78 flat out 52 miles an hour is about max cruse speed just so I’m not ringing it out. I would be happier than a pig in shit if I could cruise down the road at 65 or 70 comfortably. The only good thing about the gearing I have now is I can pull lots of weight and still get killer fuel mileage. which I’m sure that will change once I start loading the ol 12 valve with a taller gear. but that’s cool at least I’ll still have that option to use over drive or not 🤪👍

Omg wish mine did 70 at 1600rpm do you think the gear vendor would work for the 47re?

Like to put one of these behind my SM 465.
