i had one on mine and i loved it. just for putting around town it was awesome. when i raced it, it got a little hard to hit the correct gears because they were so close. If you arnt going to race your truck, Put one on!!!

I don't have a problem with faster shifts. You do have to get used to it though, after that, it rocks!

I know for awhile in the beginning, a lot of people were having shifting problems with the BD unit. Turns out that they missed a step and didn't put one bend in the shift rod just above the end. Not sure if it has been changed. My unit was made by a local shop and it works awesome!!
