thats almost as bad as saying a truck isnt a truck if it aint a hemi

 

no buddy. he said theres no other truck like his. i wasnt talking about the 1500s. i was talking about his 2500 reg cab 6 speed. thanks.

 

I think you may have misread what I was saying. You could get a hemi manual. This is true. BUT, only on the heavy dutys. Half tons you couldn't ever get one. And you cannot get a hemi manual after 08 maybe, 09 for sure. Thats what I meant. Before that you could. In fact i have seen several 05 hemi manuals around.

 

yah. haha i think there was mixed confusion somewhere. not wasting time tryin to figure it out tho... it's all good.

i want the cummins 6 speed next!
i love my hemi, but pullin some hills she just doesnt have enough torque to get up in 6th gear like a cummins does.. I wish dodge put out a bigger gas motor in their trucks...

 

Its all good. We can't be fighting away in this club. lol

I think we would all like to have a cummins. Surprisingly though, my truck holds speed in 6th gear on hills. It won't really accelerate unless its flat though.
I always wanted a 2500 V10 manual 4x4. There was one for sale on ebay a few weeks ago. Beautiful truck. It looked brand new. No bids though. People just would rather go with a diesel. I heard a v10 dodge with pipes on it once, wow!! It sounded amazing.

 

joined, member #15. as long as they keep making proper manual gearboxes in cars and trucks, i'll be buyin 'em.

 

Hoss, I dyno'd my truck and some other third genner dakota boys did too, on a stock setup, most the auto boys were putting out 165-170...

Me, well, I had 197hp to the rear wheels with the big ole 20s on. There's a little comparison on the 4.7L.

 

Glad to see the group is taking off. Keep it going guys.!
