A body with an A833 and a Gear Vendor installed

Installed a GV in 2009 when this Hemi Duster was built. I would do it again, a simple toggle on the right front of the bucket seat brackets engages the overdrive for highway (over 55mph) driving.

29.75" tall rear tires / 4:30 gear / 2450 rpm @ 65mph....the sweat spot. The split shifting isn't for me, but the OD goes good with power steering and A/C.

I tend to agree with you H D that I would be happy with just using the GV as an OD only. I just don't know that I would really need to use it as a splitter, that was actually the premise of me actually only wanting a 5 speed or the replacement 18 spline gearset in my original thoughts on which direction to go. As I said earlier I would have been more than willing to do the A855 if I hadn't heard all the "bad press" about it. The 18 spline gearset would probably suit my needs for a nice cruiser. I just want a reliable car that I can drive anywhere with minimal mods. I must say that I have gotten alot of great info from about all the possibilities from 5 speeds and OD 4 speeds to the GV units and how they can be used. Right now I am favoring the 18 spline OD gearset just from a simplicity point of view. BTW. Super nice Duster. Always loved how they looked with the shark tooth grill.
