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

 

You are correct

 

well then, why call it an ETH?<br><br>Electronic Troubles from Hell?<br>End of The Hour?<br>Every Time Happy?<br>Empty Towing Hitch?<br>Elaborate Turbo Hookup?<br>Envious Tire Howling?<br> : I better stop!

 

This acronym and more is also listed in the tech facts section.

 

It means its slower because it has too many gears to shift.

 

It means better cause it's twice the size of a 5speed. Bigger is beter right guys. ;D

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.
