If your gross vehicle weight is over 25,000lbs in a 1 ton or smaller truck,the last thing I would worry about is the ranger unit.If your hauling that much weight,better look at a lot bigger towing truck first!! Like something in a single axle highway truck.See it lots up here too,sure that diesel 3/4 ton- 1 ton will pull that big flatbed,but controlling it is another thing sometimes.....

Hmm a big waste of $1500 if thats all it can hold..
Just my 2cents

Yep, and that's the other drawback to this setup that I didn't mention. It doesn't work in front of a 400 turbo And I'm not an SM465 fan at all anyway, that would be a downgrade swap in my case, not interested.

Another reason I liked the gear vendor, darn things are rated for a ridiculous amount of HP and TQ, something like 1,500 or 2,000. I'll never have to worry about the thing quitting on me no matter what I hook to the back of the truck.
It's a damn near bullet proof setup, and I like bullet proof. Nothing wrong with overkill

only bad thing that i have heard of on the gv is the elc controls like to quit if you set it up with there stuff to auto maticly shift in

any truth to that?
