If you’ve ever driven an older motorhome at highway speeds, you know how hard the engine works without overdrive.

Many pre-1993 RVs came with 3-speed automatics and deep rear gears, often leaving the engine turning over 3,000 RPM just cruising down the highway.

In this video, Rick Johnson from Gear Vendors explains:
• Why overdrive is such an important upgrade for older RVs
• How split shifting helps tremendously in mountainous terrain
• Why Gear Vendors units became so popular on P30 and similar chassis
• How lower cruising RPM can improve fuel economy and reduce engine wear

He also talks about why many Gear Vendors units still hold value decades later because of their durability and reputation.

If you own an older Fleetwood, Monaco, Airstream, or similar motorhome, this is worth watching.

Ford Falcon Wide Ratio AOD or 4R70 transmission swap vs Close ratio C4 6 speed - Gear Vendors 05/06/2026

Throwback to a video we produced 12 years ago with Rick Johnson at Gear Vendors—now sitting at 46K views and still going strong.

In this one, Rick breaks down how to use overdrive to split gears and make highway cruising in an older vehicle enjoyable. He also walks through what it took to install a Gear Vendors unit into a ’64 Falcon, including the extra work and modifications needed to make everything fit right.

It’s always great looking back at these projects and seeing how many people they’ve reached over time. Hopefully it’s helped a lot of builds—and brought in a little business along the way too.

If you’re running an older setup and thinking about overdrive, this is still a solid watch.
