Driveshaft should be here tommorrow. I have to connect the controller too. I hope to be off the lift for the first time in 2 months

r0lf- · 04-14-2005, 07:34 PM

Nice. Be sure to let us know how it goes! 6 gears would be mighty nice!

Grande Rojo · 04-14-2005, 08:52 PM

thats gunna' be nice with your 411 gears

bigarmzz · 04-14-2005, 09:02 PM

geeeeeze

that thing is a ton of cash

them things are really expensive....wouldnt it just be cheaper to change your rear end gears?

Hoods69BadBowTie · 04-14-2005, 10:45 PM

Dam, that is sweet looking. How much was it if you don't mind me asking.

You doing it for improved MPG? Did they say what you can expect from it?

Bigarmz, why would you want to change the gears in such a bad ass truck? There's nothing better than smoking someone in your old truck, especially a Lexus or Infinity.

yeah i know, but ....i'm kinda tight, and not to mention a poor white boy...so....that things nice, but wow...im thinkin those are around $2,800 arent they?

by the way airmale....the underneath of your truck looks like its brand new!....very clean truck ya got there

boxrodz · 04-16-2005, 02:24 AM

Nice setup.

Yeah, let's know how your combo works out.
Weren't you also working on a bag setup?

AirMale · 04-16-2005, 12:44 PM

I will update the GV project. Yes, I'm going to bag the front definitely but the rear suspension is still up in the air?

**crossy** · 04-17-2005, 10:28 AM

sweeeeeeeeeet

AirMale · 06-21-2005, 06:05 PM

Well tonight I finally got all the wiring finished and took the truck out to break-in the new rear and Gear Vendor. It was worth every nickel seeing the tack at 2500 rpms driving 65-70mph. The overdrive came on like a factory gear...smooooth! As soon as I break in the rear some more I'll explore some manual 6 speed fun....that's all for now

Scrubby · 06-21-2005, 06:34 PM

Wow! That would be nice, but it would take a while to pay off $2500 in the gas mile savings.

**crossy** · 06-22-2005, 10:20 AM

scrubby, its not only about the gas savings. Lets say he decides to do a leg or two of the power tour . with a 16 gallon tank (shortbed) he would be stopping pretty often, and although the sound of 9 liters humming at 3200 RPM for a few miles might be music to our ears it's a little overwhelming if you want to drive few HUNDRED miles.
good job Jay - now you need one of those real purdy tranny pans so when everyone looks underneaath of it to see the GV they don't say " WTF is with that nasty looking tranny pan" . :-) , DAVE

MylilBowTie · 06-22-2005, 04:13 PM

How does it really work? I thought you have let off in every gear to engage it? I could be wrong but its something I never could get a strait answer on. Any way to send me a video file of it working or how it works if possible?
