I have one on my truck.
It is Chinese. Works ok, but I ponied up the $$$ for a rebuilt GM gear reduction unit and will be swapping it out soon. Side by side you can tell the quality difference.
But mine is working so far.
That is an option, but you lose your bottom end torque and some towing power with a regear.
With the 700R4 I still have all the advantages of the low gears, plus good highway spped and mileage. When I want to tow I just drop the shift lever down a notch and my performance is the exact same as...
Yeah, it seems like active boards are trending the exact opposite as reserve ones.
