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.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
