Anyone using a gear vendor over/underdrive?

Just like the title says. Anyone using one? I'm thinking about it for the fuel savings. Just want some real world experience.

You'll have to drive a WHOLE LOT, i.e. many thousands of miles, (even with today's diesel prices) to recoup the bucks you're out for a GV/US Gear unit and IMO getting one for fuel savings just isn't worth it.

Thanks, but I've also got a 4 wheel drive. How much HP does it take to break one?

If I remember right you just get a different adapter housing to use and we pushed over 450 RWHP through the old one.

They make a 4wd version, but it mounts behind the transfercase, so you can't engage the overdrive unit in 4x4. I think there is one that is made by US Gear that mounts between the tranny and transfer case. But obviously thats a bit more work to install.
