I had one installed when I ordered a tranny from Manny about 8k miles ago. It has made a difference in just the same way as a final drive gear change. It added a couple hundred or so rpms and the coach has a bit more power in the hills. I was considering a final drive change when the original tranny failed so I opted for the power drive. I will be curious to see how yours performs if you do make the change. I have been considering changing the final drive to a 3.21 to get a bit more. I tow a Jeep Wrangler and it is about 3500 lbs. Big hills are still a struggle with the current setup and a stock 403.
I think Dave Lenzi removed his power drive and used a 3.21 when he installed his 8.1 engine. I do not remember his reason but I think he is pleased with the current setup.
