Hi im looking to buy my first diesel. im in alaska and there are barely any manual transmissions. so im wondering how the automatics hold up with the performance products and increased horsepower/ torque?

 

Opinions Differ. BUT, basically its comes down to preference and You right foot.
If you tow alot, And are looking at basic, Mild Mods, auto's are the way to go. If You want a HOT durable Daily driver that doesnt kill you on gas and doesnt do alot of towing, go with a 5 or 6 speed. Their awesome!!! If you ever want something to flat out race though, You back to the Auto's. And remember... You Build Power, You wear out/ Break $#!*
Period....
