Overdrive!
 Today I went to the local pick-apart and found a GEAR VENDORS OD in a ford truck. I immediately removed it and was expecting to pay through my nose for it,but when I got up to pay they didnt even know what it was and I bought it for $65.00!! WOW what a savings.Now I have to contact GEAR VENDORS and order the right tail house for the TH400 and bolt it in.

Re: Overdrive!
If your luck is running that good you might want to consider heading over to a casino and see if you could become a millionaire.
