P30 Chassis
I would like to know. can you get high geared rear ends for the P30 chassis? someday I would like to get a higher geared ring and pinion to get the rpms down a little. anyone ever done that?

I only got 1 mpg increase from 8.5 at 60 mph to 9.5 at 65 mph.
That was on a 32' chassis at 6.5 tons.
Up and down big hills is where the Gear Vendor shows its stuff.
I blew up the GV at about 100k miles on it. They changes from ATF to special Chevy manual trans lube(heavier weight but less than 75/90 gear oil) during that time I had the GV. If I had known that- It may have lasted longer.
GV has/had(?) a policy of exchanging a broken GV for a new one for $650.
I took the the one I blew up and I mean- blown up in pieces that the cases couldn't even be used and they exchanged it for a new one for $650...
I did use that GV really hard.
