i think all the auto dodge puts behind the cummins has the same issue weak tc

 

Probably an 618...basically a beefy 727 Torqueflite.

 

I like both of them.

 

No question about it. If you intend to be doing anything more than casual, light towing: Manual (Gutbag) tranny. The Dodge automatics all the way up through and including the 48REs in the last '07 5.9s were based on the same original 727 torqueflight that first showed up in the mid 60s behind Chrysler V8s. They did not get lockup torque conveters behind the Cummins until '94. Until then, towing was a low mileage heat-generating ordeal, at best. They can be OK with the extra coolers and better converters/valve bodies available aftermarket, but...

I'd ask about the tranny in the blue one, if anything's been done to it. But it'll never tow anything much with those tires anyway.

 

Simple solution to your dilema, buy both!!

 

You can build the Auto to hold more power than the 5spd.

 

I want the white one.... pm me the info

 

They're both really nice. I personally would go with the white one cause i like the flatbed and its stick.

And there is no way a hand shaker can keep an auto on the drag strip.

 

Blue one is purty......like someone else said.. buy em both
