Ed,
I imagine that I will find out in a few days if there are any major
problems. However, I believe that all the Overland gear boxes of that
vintage are the same--which would be the FA's, the E units and perhaps
the Sd-40/GP-38's. I purchased a couple of E unit complete trucks and a
whole E unit chassis just for the spare parts. I have not noticed any
problems with my E's or the lone SD-40 that I own.
