hey guys im in the market for a new truck and would really like to get my self a brand new single cab long bed 3500 but i dont think they will sell me one with a srw.. so if not im just going to get the 2500 its just going to be a base work truck,.. the question i have is im up in the air on weather to get a std. or auto trans i heard good and bad things about both... what would you guys recomend.. any input would be great Thanks

 

i will only own a stick but now there tuned them back compared to the autos cause they wont put a clutch in it

 

the autos are pretty good if you dont run a tuner with alot more power than stock. i got 145k on my 08 with no troubles.

 

besides the clutch and under powered motor do you think in the long haul it would be better than buying and auto.. i've had to get a couple autos rebulit in my newer vehicles and they coast a small fortune.. i'd imagin throwing a HD clutch in would be alot cheaper than rebuilidg an auto trns... the only thing is i sometimes have a lot of diff people driving my truck it is going to be a "work" truck and an auto is alot easier for guys to just get in and go Rather than burn the $**t out of my clutch!...

 

when you have to repair, the clutch would be cheaper

 

Get a stick put a clutch and a tuner in it you will love it
