Dodge 3500 Manual or automatic Trans, whats better??
 

I want to get a Dodge Ram 3500 Diesel (buying in August) But im not sure :s: if I want Manual or Automatic.. I do want to off road and possibly get into sled pulls. Any pointers? Thanks for the Help DB's :rocking:

that would all depend on what you want once you start adding power to an auto you'll need to build up the tranny up a liittle new tourqe converter valve body etc. a manual can take more power but you'll prob have to get a new clutch once you start building power so it wont slip. i went with an auto because i didn't want to drive a manual in traffic i do that enough with my car. it really just comes down to personal preference

Brand new or what years are you lookin at here?

Traffic yea always hated that.. um i was actually looking at an 06 I found in Texas. Dodge Ram 3500 SLT (non-dually) lifted, 6spd, 98,000miles. look great ima try to talk them down from 26,000$. I loved my manual car then i got a truck. So a manual truck would be awesome. *clutch would be the first thing i upgraded before anything*

on a manual, ur looking at around 2 grand to upgrade the trans to hold all u will put to it

on the auto, ur looking at 5G plus to handle all the power u can throw to it

2g's kinda sounds alot better lol plus i kinda love the cummins manual sound. Been playing on youtube and some kid videod his and it sounds rediculous
So whether im pulling, towing, off-roading will i hate manual or does tht make it more fun more power? or is automatic the way to go? not going to lie i love manual, but i wana make sure im choosing right

if thats what you want get it :yeah: and good luck to you on getting it. personally i am an auto man dont like to shift all the time :humm:

lol hey if you have any pointers on why auto is better im all ears. If it doesnt work out ill just dave up and by a great one in a few years

if you wanna go fast and have the money, auto HANDS DOWN.

If you wanna look cool to those douchebags who talk shit about autos and only drop a little money to make it hold up, get the manual.

Wow. :nope:
