OT, ford overdrive traneys...
I'm thinking of replacing my C6 with an OD traney for long haul towing, does anyone know their ford OD traneys? What is the strongest? I don't drive my trucks unless I have a reason, so I'm usually moving 2000-10,000lbs over unladen weight, but I want to get good mpg from my 460 at 65-75 (85???)) mph. I dont know what my final drive is right now, but I will try to check it sunday.

Dude Its a ford with a BIG BLOCK alright. without anything behind it or in it youre best bet with an overdrive trans is 12miles per gallon. and the C6 was one of the strongest as far as I know of other than a costom one

Are you sure you read the post? I never said that I was looking for something stronger than the C6, and I'm pretty sure that I can do better than 12 empty since my '92 gets 11.5 stock with 4.11 gears/4x4, I'd like to have a wider range of availible gears.
