I'd like the 6 speed, but I'd have to show my wife how to drive it. We'll see what happens, I'd like to get the manual but may have no choice but to get the auto. We shall see.

I appreciate everyone's input.

I thought EGR was only on 6.7? My boss has a 6.7 and told me to start pricing parts to remove EGR, filter and a programmer. He gets around 10-12 mpg with it but pulls trailer alot. I like my 5.9, no major problems. I bought it with 96,000 and so far I have replaced tranny cooler (leak) all U-joints in drive shafts and before winter plan to rebuild front end. Have lots on a wish list, but drives great and finally got the programmer set to where I seem to get the best milage, around 19 avg.
