I will probably have to wait until I get home as I don’t have many tools with me. It’s really only noticeable at idle and low speeds and seems to go away when on the highway. Truck has power and is running good. Ive been averaging 65-70mph. I maybe hit 80 once or twice momentarily on a...

Almost to Nebraska. But just my luck… motor seems to have started ticking. I stopped to fill up and when I started the truck it was knocking hard and the truck even shook a little bit. It calmed down and stopped shaking but the knocking is still there. When I put my hand on the fuel lines I...

On the way home right now. Currently in Dubuque Iowa. This is a regular sight now 😂 Speedo is about 3-4mph faster than actual speed. I think I needed the stock Speedo gear because it was spot on before. No big deal, can always mess with that later. Thanks everyone!

I made some jumpers to short the harnesses for the foot switch and the dash switch, which is basically as if the foot switch was engaged and the dash switch was set to automatic mode. I took it out for a test drive and wow, I have a 4 speed now 😂 The truck will shift into 3rd and then right at...

Well I pretty much got all the wiring done for the GVOD. I got all the wiring under the truck insulated with some plastic conduit and taped them up leading to the hole. I used a 3M command metal hook to hold up wire going to the transfer case for 4x4 lockout. I used the metal hook, but...

Thanks man! I’ve always wanted to get into wood working. I’ve been playing guitar for over 20 years and I’d love to make a guitar from scratch. I’m also interested in making knives as that’s another hobby of mine. Most of my mechanic background is with motorcycles. I worked as a Harley...

In this case it was all me 😂 What I did was measure from the large nut on the axle (since I could get the magnetic end of the tape measure to stick to it) to the center of the U-joint on the yoke and got 42-5/8”. I then measured from the large nut on the axle to the center u joint on the axle...

I got the drive shaft back today and got it put on! I was so worried that my measurements weren’t going to be correct, but it seems to be spot on. I haven’t driven it yet, as I’m still hooking up all the wiring. For reference, the GVOD manual tells you to insert the new yoke into the OD unit...

This is the Gear Vendors overdrive system. It’s a bolt on overdrive to basically add an extra gear to the 3 speed transmission without changing the entire transmission. You can use it in any gear you wish to split the gear to help with towing etc, but the primary reason I got it was so I can...

I’m pretty much done with the wiring under the truck, and I’m really happy that I decided to do it this way. Since the hole is right where the GVOD is, the wiring can go right into the cab without any complicated routing or trying to go to the engine bay and through the firewall etc. I had to...

I went ahead and just drilled the holes for the switch and LEDs into the stereo-delete panel on the dash bezel. Later when I get home I may 3D print a nicer looking panel but for now it will do.

For the wiring that has to come from under the truck into the cab I decided to punch out one of the drain caps in the floor pan under the seat and run the wires through the hole. I used a rubber grommet in the hole and then covered the edges with silicone to seal it in place. I then ran the 3...

I appreciate that man. I really feel like I came off like a jerk earlier and I apologize if I did.. it’s just the frustration of this whole thing getting to me and the fact that how much I’ve spent on this whole endeavor is starting to sink in…I digress! Yes I agree the kit overall is amazing...

No no… what I’m saying is those are the only options you have to fill in when ordering a kit. Of course I told them the tire size and gearing. What I was trying to emphasize is that there was no options for example “ADD CONTROL BOX” or something like that. Obviously if I had the choice I...

Figuring that out right now. Most likely under the dash somewhere.

Called back again and this time talked to sales (much nicer attitude than the support team) and talked to Nick and he confirmed once again that they no longer offer the control box. He said that they stopped using them “quite a while ago” when they moved away from their analog controllers. He...

No the guy on the phone said I got the “new setup” when I asked about it… which looks like they just cut costs IMO.. The only options given when ordering a kit (besides application) is tire size and gearing. I obviously would’ve gotten all the extras offered as I was already being taken to the...

Looks like I’m gonna have to cut these connectors off and redo them in order to pull the wiring through the hole I drill to mount these LEDs… pretty dumb. I also called in to ask them which position on the rocker switch is auto/manual? Every time they answer the phone they sound angry and...

I got the overdrive mounted and the driveshaft measured and dropped off at the shop to get shortened. Now I’m looking at the electronics. It seems pretty straightforward, but one thing I’m noticing is that they got rid of that little control box that I’ve seen in @chevymike video and replaced...

I ended up going with the “street pipe” style 1/8 mip to 1/8 fip elbow because it had more clearance without using additional pieces. I also got a new barb since the one in the kit got bent in shipping. I could’ve reused the stock breather valve but I decided to replace it with a new one from...
