I think it has something to do with the fact that the "99" has less horsepower and torque than the "02".

On a F250. 7.3L with a eco superchip, bigger air-intake, suspension lowered, and a 4" Exhaust.. How many MPG do you think i can top. I was also wondering how the gears work since i dont really understand that.

Unless your looking for MAX mpg and are willing to drive like a gma, get a auto. They drive better, easier and in the long run will hold more HP once built then the manual.
