no reason whatsoever on the hiway. the fact that one of those units actually shift from low to high between standard gear changes would help though . gives the effect of a six or eight speed transmission,instead of just going into overdrive at say 45mph or so. that saves you gas in town . another is when pulling a load it would, if set right, help keep engine in the peak torque range to maximize torgue. of course if you put one behind a overdrive transmission ,engine would probably fall flat on its face simply because it wouldnt be running fast enough to develop any hp on the hiway . and probably would be shifting all the time unless you were on dead level ground. i used to know what the gear ratios were on ford trannys,but dont recall now.but if you overdrived a overdrive tranny you would have some high gear ratios ,probably too much.
