That’s a Washington truck with big Jeeps. Maybe going somewhere near @popeye

If it has the PACCAR MX engine which is built in Columbus,Ms., sorry it doesn't belong in this thread. Good try though but once again you come up short. Thanks for the extra post and views though.

I will admit that I miss the 2005 2500 Mega Cab 5.9 CTD 4x4 manual truck I used to have. It was the last manual truck I owned. Too bad the body and sub components around the tranny and motor was a total drain on my pocket book in broken parts or rusty panels.

In 2017 when I purchased my current F350 I seriously looked at ordering a Ram with a manual. Unfortunately it meant buying a truck very derated to keep the same G56 from exploding. Essentially I would be buying a new 12 year old truck.

If Ram offered an updated manual transmission to handle the same hp /tq values on the auto, I’d be first in line and be willing to lay down a bit more coin.

The autos are detuned at takeoff and certain points to save the trans. With the slip of an auto you don’t get the same power to the ground anyways. Even with the detuned manual you get more power to the ground when it matters.

I don’t disagree a bit.

I’m of the belief that the scenarios in which the ecm and tcm actually allow full power are almost impossible in real world scenarios.

Just disappointed that the R+D dollars have not been applied to HD pickup manual trannys....even in a special order capacity.

Facts don't change some people's mind. If they have a "plan" so they can get them cheaper they love them regardless of common sense.

It's called torque management. All pickup manufacturers are getting away from standard transmissions

Wish I still had pics of my 12v pulling two 1st gen yotas on a deck over flat bed.

I bet this one has a little weight on the front.

You will if you keep it long enough.
