According to the map that ky85 posted, you appear to be just outside of Richmond Ky, right?

That’s not as close as I thought. You are halfway across the state from me.

Free beer then a 2+ hour drive home. But may join the Facebook group if that’s ok.
You sound to be closer to the side I go to most often.... we have family in Jackson County.......
Best jobsite I've been to was in Beaver Dam. Great people there.

That's ok since the Chevys are just sitting there. The Fords will all be driving around.

How'd it all turn out for you KY? Eagerly been awaiting a followup!
I picked up a used GV and BW1356 a while back - haven't gotten around to opening them up up for inspection/rebuild or installing yet. My rig has a c6 w/ one of Quigley's Tailshafts, mated to a BW1346.
Fingers are crossed that the BW1356 matches up OK and nothing needs too much attention before install.
Curious to hear about your experiences.

I have on on an 86 6.9 2wd with 3.55’s I have the OD switch on the shifter. Did away with the auto shift since it always “thought” it should be in OD at a dumb time. Used a control box from Maximum Overdrive. Still has the minimum mph cut out feature to protect the clutch.
Ran a lot of secondary hill country roads with it. 2nd gear OD is awesome! No problems in 50k miles.
As for fluid I run Allison Transynd, the stuff used in the Allison’s in garbage trucks.

Oh man! Sorry I disappeared!!! Ive had sooooo much going on. The forum got put way on the backburner. The GV unit has worked AMAZINGLY.
I have kept the control module and everything hooked up like it should be. I just keep it in manual mode and hit the foot switch when I need that OD gear. The control box kicks it out of OD below 15mph, which is handy. And the 4wd lockput and reverse lockout works great.
