I very much prefer maunual transmissions on trucks. It has been my experience that automatics are subject to all kinds of electronics and air system problems and cold weather freeze up issues. I've been driving a stick since I was a child so manual shift doesn't even phase me.

you do know you can shift any damn way you want? Bobtail you can go 4 split down, 5 split hi, 7th split low 8th split hi. Its entirely up to the driver. There is no wrong way to do it. It all depends on load and drivers choice.

@chilfktr right... loudmouth knowitall ? sounds more like an american to me.. you just go on back to your double-wide with your sister/wife and your third cousin who you fuck on the side...and leave us alone.

"Loud mouth ,Know it all,Canadians". You drive junk(and not very well). You feel inferior on the highway,so you use the keyboard to "lash out" at TRIED AND TRUE PROFESSIONALS. It's pathetic.Go build a snowman so you can cry on his shoulder.
