i put one in yesterday. it seem to work pretty good. i do know this. i have a 4.5" lift and i bought to cable for a 3 to 6" lift and i feel the cable is to long. about 2ft to long. i have it loped in the engine bay and it still has alot left over for travel cycle.

replaces the factory vacuum setup to a cable setup.

I like it, much better than the vac system, 2 hour install is about right. I got the long version for lifted,(rockspyder out of Toronto) looped it up past the brake reservoir, secured with loop on the lid of the washer reservoir and down past the pow stear pump, over the front diff and into the cast cover. I also recommend getting the optional cast iron shift fork replacement. Carefull with the jam nut at the know operating end, the housing and threads are plastic. I made an aluminum sleeve 1" long and tapped out for 3/4 fine thread, can tighten without fear of stripping. just be careful on your install and don't get rammy.
