anyone around here stick a NV4500 behind a 7.3?
worth the effort?
I'm looking for an overdrive that doesn't cost $2500

Unless you have a major hookup, a NV4500 is going ot be about 2K for a new one and a ZF5 will be a little less. NV's are really popular with the Jeepers and Rockcrawlers, so most of the used units are getting used for those. If you can get one, they are bad trannys, stronger than the ZF5, just a well known tranny, so it makes a little hard to find.. Scotty
