one thing about stick shift diesels they are slower than the auto's. loose boost with every shift.

but stock for stock the zf6 will tow better than the alison with a good driver.

I got a 03 with the 6-spd and there are very few people that can out pull mine. And as for the speed once you get the shifting down on your truck very few, and i do mean VERY few autos can keep up with it.

Hills are what I am talking about.I was going to go test drive it today but I had to help haul corn out of the bin so I didn't get a chance to go test drive it.

I havent had a problem at all pulling any hills. The only time it even lugs down is when im over loaded, usually at around 46k or more. But if you shift at the right time u should be fine.
