Sorry, but what does ETH mean

I'm assuming it's the HO version of the 24 valver. Just curious.

You can have the fanciest rig in the world with all the super dooper goodies that we all drool over (well, if Top would quit slobbering, it'd be a drool) but if you can't handle it, an automatic will take ya. There are ricers alongside the road in my neck of the woods who just don't know how to get off a light. I may not get the distance speed advantage but they are shown for the children they are for lack of experience. Technique and skill, those will carry the day. <br><br>Course, that's just my opinion. <br><br>~Dave

I think I have a truck that does what I want it to do.
Tow heavy loads.
That transmission and transfer case are a bit awkward to line up and walk into place when changing the clutch.
