dam it, i thought i had decided to get the gear vendor. easy to install, bulletproof (the unit, no so with the electronics). only mod is to the drive line. an easy od answer...

down side i would not gain any lower gear than first. cost, just under 3k. many reports on bad electronic, but gv will fix it.

i don’t know much about the 4l80e. but so far i see the up side is a lower 1st gear, something i really want. a bit of a higher od, and a lock up converter. so mileage should be better im guessing. how do you hook up the speedo?

down side? the electronics, molesting my original truck more than i care to, durability? not sure....
