Gear Vendors splitter : over $2k
I needed this for 3 reasons 1. to be able to speed without turning insane rpms 2. for keeping the motor in the optimal range for pulling lots of weight 3. mpg at a higher speed.
It has done all 3 extremely well, and i have had no problems with it either, except for 1 time while off-roading a huge rock thrown buy the tire knocked off a wire to the speedo cable sensor, but that was entirely my fault as i never figured on flying debri's.
Install on this involves alittle more money for the new rear driveshaft, now is the time to get the good sealed slip yoke design, and depending on the truck it's going in you may have to notch a crossmember and do alittle welding as i had to because my splitter replaced the half shaft, and carrier bearing so i needed to notch the crossmember that was previously for the carrier bearing. As for the rest of the install it was unbolt and bolt up, wiring was all done by the wiring harness they send you, and it was a simple process, the hardest thing was the computer control for the splitter unit it is not tiny, but no huge if i remember correctly it's like 10"x 5".
There are pictures of this as well in the truck section, also a Dealer installer for GV in N.Y.
