thank you someone said that

 

Yeah while the Blowin Smoke Gang has nothing better to do than stalk me.I am actually getting stuff done and helping with tractor information as best as I can.

 

I have a six seed manual and love it. I have a 20ft car hauler and pulls with ease. however at 130k I have to replace a clutch actuator cylinder, and want to make sure that the six speed is actually called a ZF-S6-650, I think that is correct but want to be sure before ordering from gm parts direct.
ps I consistently get over 18 mpg with the manual trans, 19 over the road, not hauling

 

look at it this way, if anything goes wrong wit the tranny, a manual is cheaper to fix, the allison is a bastard to fix and is expensive. I have the Ally, right now its in the tranny shop. I wish i had a manual, its jus wat i prefer, but i got such a good deal on my dmax i couldnt pass it up. i have nothin against the ally, but u cant beat a manual tranny

You've got that right.I like manual transmissions a little better with the exception of in town driving all that damn downshifting lousy cops like to give tickets.
