alternative to c-6?

[r-remmer]

to address one question: work truck! anything else is an oximoron. Ron

[trukcrazy]

Ron, did you check the links in the last post where I copied the answers CACWBY had given along with the links?

[rjewkes]

Please everyone try to remember that all caps is like yelling in our ears. Other than that i'd go with the GV behind my C6.

[Jake11]

AOD would be ok in a light car. In heavy P/U hauling or towing anything.
well, better get a spare or two. If you leave it in second gear, you'll be ok.
Third and fourth will kill it. Not my opinion, just how that particular tranny
is designed.

Hey has anybody ever mentioned that the C6 is a great transmission!!!:P

Lawrence

[1970F250]

i concur.

[Heavenlyfire]

I love my C-6!!! I would really like to add overdrive to it but I am worried about stability. I tend to "show off" the 460 under the hood. Will a GV stand up to the torque?

[mrung0wa]

Back in the early 90's I was managing a parts warehouse that was adjacent to Gear Vendors (when they were located on Pioneer way in El Cajon). They had their own little foundry on site! Anyway a couple of the guys got some great deals on an overdrive setup. One guy had a C30 w/454 and the other a F350 w/460. After a couple of years both had nothing but praise for GV.

Lawrence

[fordman]

gear vendor??????????????

[HOWDY69]

Check their web site. I think the GV is rated for 1000 Ft lbs of torque. With a 4.10 rear end I know it is on my wish list!

[1970F250]

plus it's like having 6 gears

[mrung0wa]

Okay My Brothers
Let's see what we've learned so far.

So a C6 + GV equals like being able to have your cake and eat it too!

Isn't it great to be an American!

Lawrence

[ToughOldFord]

C6 is a good tough tranny.
E4OD is garbage.
Only know what I've read about the AOD.
And where do you get a GV for "ALMOST NOTHING"?

[HOWDY69]

I don't know if anybody said you could get one for almost nothing. I think they are like 2K or something. Doesn't stop me from dreaming.

[ToughOldFord]

The guy that started this thread said he could get one for almost nothing. I wish I had that problem.
