Help! Im sellin my ford 6.0 for a 2001 duramax is it worth it?
 

I currently own a 6.0 powerstroke but im wantin to sell it for a 2001 duramax with less miles on it the only prob is its manual and idk how to drive a stick!:argh: How easy is it to learn a stick? i rlly want to get tha duramax but idk bout the stick help plz:dang:

with somebodys help and lots of practice you will get it just remember practice,practice and more practice and oh yea patience :yeah:

thanx lol i rlly like tha duramax lol gotta pick up tha maual fast its my daily driver lol:argh:

Learn on a gravel road save the clutch,tires,and embarrassment.:tu:

thanx didnt know gravel would save tha clutch dont know much bout manual thanx :)

put a stick on the accelerator and have it hold like 12-1500 rpms and learn how to work the clutch untill you get a feel for it, then try it using both pedals.

those 6speeds manuals are a rare dmax

Yeah, you found a nice truck. As long as it's not white lol. White duramaxes just don't look nice...

anywhoo. Practise in a yard or a parking lot from idle into 1st gear. Starting out is the hardest, that's where you'll stall. Shifting gears 1-3 is the hardest...once you're going above ~40mph or shifting 4th gear and above it's easy to shift, no matter what vehicle you're in. At that speed you'll have enough momentum that it will be almost impossible to screw up the shift.

And man, if it's your daily driver, don't even worry about it. You'll learn it in no time. You'll have to since it's your only way to get around. Just make sure that truck has good injectors on it.

You have a very strong clutch you will do fine.
