What do you think of this performance mod? Anybody done it?
The *GEAR VENDORS* will give you Gear-Splitting to fix those wide ratios
with a gear between each of them when you want it for tremendous gains
in performance (see Final Drive Ratios). Whether you are accelerating
with a Supercharged sport truck or climbing a hill with a heavy load in
tow behind your diesel - gear-splitting = performance.

I seriously question its worth. Most RV's are geared to tall theses
days anyway and do not need to be geared taller. A underdrive unit
would be far more feasible/usable and all the listing I see are for OD
units. A serious tow vehicle needs the option of deeper gearing not
taller. These OD unit will do nothing to boost startout and low speed
pulling power which some seem to forget. Now if you would regear truck
with depper axle ratios and than ad a OD splitter you would have
something but as it stands I see little value in them and they do
nothing to reduce tranny strain as they put the tranny output into a
taller ratio and add strain, not reduce it.

Any of you ever see one apart? They have a cone shaped clutch that uses ??
to lock it. I'd love to see one cross sectioned. A guy I know spent a
fortune putting one in a Suburban. It failed twice while in warranty and
again out of warranty. The first time they said it had something to do with
the oil pump. He just left it in direct and drove it. Some years later he
removed the controls and sold the truck.

That's useful info. Do you remember about how long ago that was?
