I hate my auto! Seems like less power worse mileage, hate shift points . Only advantage is I can't shift a manual as fast as the auto does, but really how often do you need to. Buddy has a 03 3500 w/6 spd walks away in mountains , I'm straight piped w/intake juice w/ additude he's stock and walks away pulling same load in mountains .

i can say if i could do it all over again i would have a stick i hate the shift points and this is the second trans in this truck but i didnt do it who ever had it before me did and they did a shitty job on the rebuild i can slip it with the jwa turned off so 6 speed all the way i just wish there was a way to mount the 6.7 auto behind the 5.9 i think that would be nice

$7k is a fuzz high. However that probably is what a ATS costs now. Not bashing a company but to me their trannys are worth their weight in scrap. Saw an "Extreme ATS detonate with only 500HP infront of it pulling. But everyone has the company they like. My guy built me a FULL Billet (All shafts and the best suncoast converter for $5000. Never had an issue with over 30k miles and plenty of hard launches, full pulls, and 7 sec 1/8 mile passes. I wouldnt trade my automatic for anything.
