It splits the gears; kind of like an overdrive, in any gear.

I had a 82 with C6 and the 300 big six. Traded it for a 85 scab scamper in 91. Saw the error of my decison. Traded 85 in for new 94 F-150.
94 F-150 XL with AEOD and 150K today! No real events along the way. Couple batteries, A/C compressor last month, p.s. hose.
I am looking for a NOS vynl floor cover in blue. It a standard cab. Also would like to find NOS blue fabric bench seat cover.
That is all.

hmmm, i think mine has just over 300k in an 83 f-150, driven hard and put away wet... many times over again
i think i prefer to measure the distance the truck has come in memories, it brought me home from hospital, first truck, first drag race (and first victory), first long kiss.... i'll finish it up, i'd say its got a good memory for every mile, why else would anyone want an old truck? nostalgia baby... and one bulletproof motor!!

1980 F-150 s/b s/s
1st engine= 212,000 miles. Running good, water pump failed on freeway, overheated, cracked head etc.
2nd engine= 190,000 miles. Leaking head gasket, stripped head bolt when replacing gasket.
3rd and current engine 10,000 miles and looking good.
I have enjoyed driving this truck for 18 years and am looking forward to another 18 years at the wheel.
