Well, my new one is automatic........ I hate the
fiddliness of the shifting. My fuel mileage is better than my friends 3/4
ton manual....... but then I don't hot rod.....
I
have a Dodge 3500 (one ton) dually 4x4, manual transmission w/
quadcab. The 5.9L engine in it is a Cummins Turbodiesel. It
is a strong solid truck that feels good towing a gooseneck
trailer. It is very comfortable to drive and to ride in it
as a passenger for extended amounts of time.
*This is what I have
also; geared 410; a 98....I absolutely love it, has about 90K
and never any problems. Very comfortable. I love the stick,
would never buy an automatic for
hauling. Karen
