How hard is it to swap out a manual to an auto?

Yes very true, but when I am not hauling my equipment this $35000 truck should dam well be a blast to drive when unloaded.

The smarty really brought mine to life. I too wish I had gotten an auto sometimes, until I hook to a sled.

Do you go rock crawling and climbing over large obstacles with your truck?

And when you haul equipment with your 2500, does the trailer have the same 6 in. lift to match the truck or do you have a large drop down hitch?

Im sorry, maybe I'm just a bit slow..
I'm just trying to understand how a big truck can drive like a sports car and still do the work of a real truck?

All my trailers have an adjustable pintle hitch to compensate for the angles. So it is not a problem. I am in the tree industry, so my modified truck puts a stock work truck to shame with what it can do and where I can pull my chipper or dump trailer into.

My tst is good enough to slip the clutch on lev. 4/2. If you want to wake up your 6spd real good, then tst/smarty/SBDD3250CB/HTB2 64/14 should do the trick real well. Atleast I hope, cause that what i'm doin.

If you get into the Smarty on #7 at lower rpm's (1500-2000) you can say bye-bye to your stock clutch....and that's not stacked w/anything but a Quad boost fooler....
