Default Overdrive Systems for the 727

Does anybody know anything about'em? I've heard rumors they exist but I don't know where to look. If anybody does, please let me know. I want to know if they are worth the money, who makes them, and how do they work, install, etc.

they cost 3K new, ebay somtimes has them at about 1.5K
they are supposed to save you 20% in fuel......
and increase your top-end, aswell as pulling power....

I just looked at the gearvendors sight and sent them an e-mail, do they work with 4-wheel drives?

yes you can install them on 4-wheel drive but you can't use the gear splitter/overdrive when you're in 4 wheel drive
