Yes I am going to offer him that today.They have one in VA with the 6speed manual and they only want $16,000 for it.But it's alot farther to go and get.So $18,500 is plenty.

Well he doesn't want to sell it for $18,500 but I told him that is all I can afford.After all $8per hr is all that I get paid around here.

Try 19 and if he doesnt go for that then look at another truck instead.

Yeah I think I'll like the 6speed manual.I want a puller if I get the Duramax though.How good are the manuals at pulling the hills with a gooseneck trailer or do you know?

I have only worked on one and i drove it just down the street to see if the clutch was set right. To me it seemed gutless, you couldnt really get on it and shift hard because it would pop out of gear.

Interesting.Yeah one cattle hauler said the Duramax with the 6speed couldn't keep up on the hills with a Powerstroke 7.3L with the same tranny.
