It was option MY6. The trans is based on the Chrysler A833. The difference is that the OD gearset drives through the power path that would be 3rd gear on a non OD trans. It has similar gear ratios to the 700r4. Some guys love it, other guys hate it. You can find them on Ebay for $250-300. Repair parts are readily available.

How did you like driving that truck? I have all the parts to make the swap to OD from automatic. My big concern is the payoff for the effort involved.
