I’m not super concerned about fuel economy on it, it’s just a bonus to be better (granted fuel prices rn ) I’m more concerned about simplicity, I don’t have major fab skills and I don’t know any good fab shops nearby so I’m just looking for as much plug and play as possible, electrical isn’t a problem for me though. I might go with the auto for practicality as far as a daily goes
where have you gotten ZF’s? I don’t find them at junkyards and there pretty new so I don’t find many used ones either

You can find them at junkyards they are in 2013 and up in almost any Mopar, but i ordered a new one. Simplest would be a manual but since you have an aftermarket controller it will come down to how much do you want to spend.

fair enough, I’ll probably buy whatever is the best deal at the time I’m ready to buy
