Gear Vendors

I found a guy parting/selling a '87 or '88 3/4 ton Suburban.
He said it has a T400 with a Gear Vendors gear splitter. What is this?
I have heard of a GV overdrive and underdrive and have never been certain if they were two separate units or one in the same? If they are the same is a "gear splitter" just another way of describing the same thing or is it something completely different???

If someone could describe how these work in a very low level I would appreciate it. I mean, do you have a lever or push a button to make it function or is it just like putting a truck with a 700r4 in OD?

I am getting close to moving my '87 crew into the que and was planning on replacing the T400 with a 700r4 but if this would give me OD and the strength of a T400 I would prefer that.
