Chevy guy wanting help from the Dodge camp
Although I'm new here, I've been lurking for the past two years. I'm not here to start a brand war or any of that crap. I'm asking you guys to sign a petition to GM management against their decision to eliminate the manual transmission in the next generation of full size trucks. Had I not been able to get my Duramax, you can bet I would be driving a Dodge just to get the 6 speed. It's another case of poor decision making by GM's management and yet they can't figure out why they are loosing money and market share.

Thanks for helping out, Mike

The few guys that I sell Duramax/manual's to usually quickly grow tired of the jerkyness and replacing flywheels all the time and trade them back for Duramax/allisons. I have personally owned two Duramax/manuals and five Duramax/allisons, I would never own another manual with a Duramax.

I see their bad decision making everyday at work..... 
Kinda waiting to watch them fall..... 
I think it's about quality?? That lost art? I just don't understand why GM derates the Dmax so much when you get the manual? It's a 6 speed, like the NV5600 or something, ain't that what the Dodge has? I kinda think that's their way of "pushing" you into the upgrade to the allison. If you want all of the horsepower, buy the allison. Why not apples to apples, 6 speed comes with xxx horsepower, and so does the allison. Why make decisions for people? We as people like to make our own decisions don't we?
I'm done, got the shaft WAAAAAYYYYYY to many times from the General and not good to talk about it
