Now that is BS!! Guess i'll be getting a us gear unit, or a 6 speed.

It is what it is, but that GV unit is top notch, I have owned one and just loved it.

Ya that suck............Well atleast you will have a warranty on it now and, hay, look on the bright side,$750 is way cheeper the $2,900!

I guess it's a way for them to control quality, but it seems anti-American not to let a guy rebuild his own. I may pull it apart and see if I can source the Rybestos connical clutches directly from Raybestos. I can cut my own gaskets.

I thought the same thing when Timken wouldn't sell me the hub bearings to replace the ones in the front of my 2500.

I have got 2500 milles on my'n now. Going to replace the fluid to night(going on a trip,don't want any surprizes!)and will let you now how it looks.

I think that i would still just have them rebuild it....but....it would be nice to now wether you could patch it back to getter in the road!

Evan if the clutch in the GV whent out, you could still drive it home!

flashgordon

well every thing is lubed, top off and eng and GV drained and refilled!
The fluid that i drained out of the GV, look like it did when it when in!
Magnet had a fair amouth of metal on it but was the tooth paste type powder!

All good and ready to roll!

Off to get the honda from my friend, and my body man, in St george Utah.
Going to try and get better the 21 mpg this time......that is if i can keep my foot out of it!

Hey Flash, is your truck a 4x4?
Right nowI get around 18MPG on the road or in town. I'm curious what the GV will do to improve my MPG...
