ya probly will have one by the end of the month at least 98% sure........and i was wondering with the hp differences between the auto and the manual tranny whats up wtih that. is there a factory flash to put the manual at the same horse? dotn know the exact hp/trq difference but the auto is higher. i like gear jammin myself but alot of yall are likin the new 6 speed auto....the dealer here never has manual trannys intheir trucks or i would have actually test drove them. mainly my big thing is auto or manual and single rear wheels or dually. decisions decisions decisions:thud:

I like my auto, but you better drive both to make sure thats what you want.
I use the paddle shifter alot when towing to keep my RPM's right, I can see where a manual is nice for that.
Good luck with your decision.

I like my manual one thing to remember the best clutch cost about the same as a crappy built auto much less to upgrade

I only have about 3000 miles on my 08 stick but I love it. I say drive both and see what works for you.

They are actually both rated for the same horsepower. Both 350

The torque is what's a little lower. 650 in the auto and 610 for the manual.

Drive both and decide what you want best. I love my manual and wouldn't have it any other way. :thumbsup

If you are going to be pulling big trailers get the dually. I personally love the 68RE over any other tranny Dodge has ever had.

I'm a manual guy! I have burned up too many autos!
