Just wondering. Newer vehicles have paddle shifters on the steering wheel and this is such a wonderful feature when driving in the mountains. On our car I can dial up a lower gear ahead of time and prevent the thing from shifting with the throttle pushed down. How I would love this on my 05 Cummins!! Looks like somebody would come up with a kit or something so it can be added to the older Ram trucks.

 

It already exists, it called a manual transmission! :<)

 

Had two manuals through the years. Now it's about impossible to find one on the new inventory. Besides I will ride out this 05 till the end of pulling. Spending $60K for a new truck will not happen!!

 

I hear you and agree, I will do the same with mine.
