I had an '86 345 Motorhome that had a Gear Vendors overdrive in it when I bought it used. Never had any trouble out of the GV, it was a lot tougher than the TH400 trans that I had to replace. I pulled a Z71 pickup with it, so the total weight was somewhere around 21,000 pounds. The gear splitting was nice for accelerating and pulling hills. I don't think it helped the gas mileage, tho. It got about 6 mpg. The '83 310 that I had before it got about 8 with no overdrive. Both had 454's, both pulling the same pickup on the same route. The US gear has the advantage of being able to be set up as an underdrive, and some say it is stronger than the GV. If you have a GM with the 4L80E trans, you can get a valve body for it that will allow you to switch the od on and off between gears, much like a GV with a TH400, plus you have the lockup torque converter.
