GearVendors Install question - Need Help

[apextrans]

Got it all in & works pretty well. Anyone getting a hard shift into OD under accerleration? I was on my way home from Mel's tonite & figured I stand on it a little. A couple times it really shifted HARD into OD. Other than that, pretty happy with it & got it wired right too!! Thanks for all the input.

Here's a few pictures of it mounted. Fivepuller, it's about 2 inches below the bottom of the cab. I thought it was going to hit but theres plenty of room.

That hard OD shift is normal, mine has done it from day one.. Any idea on what kind of highway RPM's you are getting now? I bet they are alot nicer than what you had to start with!! AS long as you are not lower than 2400 at 70 you will not make me jealous, if you are, maybe I don't wanna know. Just kidding, set up looks great. Scotty

I haven't had it on the highway yet. I'll pay attention tommorrow morning on the way to the orthopedic's office. Getting the follow up from surgery & the stitches out. I did get it to 60mph on the way to Mel's yesterday & it was only turning 1900-2000 rpms. I'll let ya know, but don't be jeolious. Your turning 4.56's right? I think I should be unhappy if we're turning the same numbers. I got 3.54's

YOU HAVE 3.55s!!! Man, you suck!!! I thought you have 4.10's. If you have 3.55's you should be around 2K at 70 or so... Man, you will start to get some really nice mileage now. I wished I had 4.10's. The 4.56's are awesome pulling the Jeep around, but for everyday stuff, 4.10's would be alot nicer on the fuel bill. I bet you are going to be around 2100 maybe 2200 at 70 with the OD engaged, you have a sweet ride. Wanna trade? Scotty

I got to see the install in person. Nice job!

Nice work!

Thanks everyone. Scotty, approx. 2250-2300 with my foot in it a little to hold speed (no Cruise Control) @70mph. A little less running on level ground or down hill. Me happy

 

[beretzs]

Wow, that is really nice, no cruise control, that is blasphemy, how do you drive that rig? Just kidding. Must be the tire size combo and stuff, but I am right around 2450 at 70 and that is with a GPS and the speedo is within a mile or two of the gps. I guess I cannot complain too much, but I still will.. I bet that has made the truck pretty enjoyable to drive on the road now? Scotty

It looks about like what I have. Is there a cab cross member above the gv adapter. If it clears yours it must clear my '92. Nice short shaft. Glad everything worked out ok.

Yeah, one above the adapter & the next one back is right over the yoke on the GV. You can see that latter in the pic above. Even with the one over the adapter, I still had enough room to get my hands in there to bolt up the OD with no trouble. Let me know how yours goes.
