Ordered a Gear Vendors!!
Well, not so sure I'll profit from this deal, but I ordered a Gear Vendors unit for my truck today. I'm told it will improve mileage by around 20 - 28%. Anybody out there have any input, either good or bad? I'm interested in actual mileage that people are getting, and whether the installation is really as easy as they say!

Re: Ordered a Gear Vendors!!
You will like it. Mine works great. The only issue I have is that it shifts VERY hard. Actually, it doesn't bother me so much, but my wife is a different story.

Re: Ordered a Gear Vendors!!
How does this compare cost wise with getting say a 4l80e done with a computer to control it?
