I think Dodge and Ford is the only trucks making manuals in brand new trucks but only in the 2500 series though. No half tons

Dodge - Diesel 2500/3500 only. But it is a Dodge...

 

I love the price on the Mexico link - $284,300. That is about what it feels like! :)

It's weird in my 2016 owners Manual it has a few sections that talk about standard transmission operation

Maybe it was Manual Mode you were reading about?

Actually, it's pretty inexpensive. The price is in pesos - I think the exchange rate right now is 15:1 which would make it about $19,000. Sounds too good to be true and it is - U.S. customs would slap at least a 25% tax then there is the little problem making it DOT/EPA compliant. Then trying to register it another hassle. Maybe a total of $40,000 to make it U.S. legal.

probably easier if u buy some of the necessary parts (master cylinder, pedal and such), swap in a TR6060, custom made driveshaft.

Stupid question...how many besides me would have ordered a manual transmission if it were offered?

 

I'm disappointed you cannot get a triple-pedal in any full-size trucks.

I hadn't thought about it, but would have gone with a manual if it had been available.

I am in the 2015 Corvette Z51 minority that went with the 7M and love it.

Driving around town I just use 1-4, but the upper gears are great on the highway to get 29mpg.

They don't offer one...been trying to order one for years...not because of lack of demand...because of epa regulations folks! Most people can't get the milage from a manual,  except for truck drivers.  You could special order a Ford in a manual up too 2017...not enymore. Dodge one tons is the only option if you want a manual these days. I've burned up 5 autos in 6 years....2nd one on my 2019 silverado 1500. They've also geared them so high now for epa regs(idiots) its melting the trannys down in 60000kms, too much heat due to overworking 100% of the time. Then gm claims it customers fault and won't warranty their own Junk!! If I can't get an American truck with a manual tranny when I get next truck, I will be getting a Toyota I'm pree sure u can a manual tranny in them still....

"The 2020 Tundra offers bad news for those seeking out a manual transmission option. The only transmission available is a six-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission. The Tundra hasn’t offered a manual transmission since the first generation which concluded its run in 2006. Through 2005 the truck was available with a five-speed manual transmission which was upgraded to a six-speed in 2006. When the Tundra moved to a V8 engine in 2007, manual transmission became a feature of the past."

I had a 2001 camaro ss with a 6 speed and that thing would 30 mpg on the highway. That was with me calculating the mpg. Still was hard to believe and it also ran a 13.2 stock at the track.

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
