Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Hi All,
Finally have my truck at the power range that works for me. Now I'm looking into adding an over/under Drive unit. I pull a gooseneck 4 horse w/ living quarters @ 12k Lbs +/- . Short and long haul trips. I'd really like to tach about 1. 8 -2k @ 70+ . I've had a GearVendors O/U Drive behind a 454/TD400 gasser and wasn't that impressed. 10k fluid changes always showed overheated fluid and cluch material. In my mind that = slipage.
From my research the other alternative is the USGear Unit. A planetary gear setup. Is any one out there running this unit ?? I'd love to hear any stories pro or con on it. Running a 5sp man. and hate the 3rd-4th ratio. Would love another gear in between.
I apologize if this post is in the wrong forum or has been addressed before.
Cheers,
Matt
