Haha I know, I just had to bust on you guys. I was lucky to find a manual 4.7. But I was patient and looked for about 3 or 4 months before I found it. I can't tell you how happy I am that I waited.

There are those days about once a year where I wish I had an auto... then I snap out of it...

as soon as I can afford it, and find one... (provided the two scenarios coincide) I'm gonna have to do the swap.

I miss my manual transmission.... I love drivin' my Dad's V6 3.9L 5speed Ram 1500 simply because it's a 5speed.

I kick myself a little everyday for not looking for a manual a little more.
but Pearl is a great truck and I won't be givin' her up any time soon.

I believe it, I wonder what the precentage is of Graphite Metallic 4.7 5 speeds was... or how many were even made.

Yea, i was kinda jealous today, but then again it was awesome. My buddy didnt know how to drive stick and we were going to go look at a suzuki samurai for a weekend warrior. Plus he needed my advice(hes kinda a noob).

So we get up there and its in freaking great condition for 1500 lol. Dana front end, lockers everything. No leaks from the knuckles although it does need a tune up.

Anyway I had to drive it home for him and I sure did miss the stick LOL. Time for me to get a yota!! lol
