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.

      Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks.

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
