#14
a) CONGRATS JAY! Happy for ya brother!
b) Glad to hear the ol 4-7 did well for ya Jon. Ive yet to tow anything with mine, but I did have a LOT of gravel on it today. Was doing some work around the ol mans farm, had to shovel, ooohhhh, about 2-3 tons of rock, by hand, and unload, by hand, FTL! (2 seperate loads btw ) I can't wait to go with the CB, I heard Hoss's the other weekend when we were up in WV, that thing blew my 40series out the water!
On a side note, I know ya'll are talking up the Nissan, but I traded in an 04 cc frontier for my ram....... smart move eh? (the little bastard was too small for me, plus I couldn't stop chirping 3rd gear, it woulda ended up in the ol mans trans shop WAY before your pops' did )

Im not too sure about the autos, Ive seen a few come through the ol mans shop, but, then again, a little of everything comes through (mainly the 1sr gen caravans )
My lil frontier had the touchiest freakin clutch EVER! I never really got used to it in the 2 months that I had it. But boy oh boy would it squal 2nd, and a hefty lil chirp in 3rd. And it did great in the way-too-big mudholes I took it through. I had to run it through a carwash on the way to trade it in

Had a little Sentra wagon when I had my network business in Ga. Company car that got drove to death. It had 85k miles on it when I bought it, 315k on it when I sold the business and sold the car. Had to replace the clutch once, but the thing ate water pumps for some reason, was lucky to get 50k out of one. Used to keep a reman'd one from Advance in the vehicle as a precaution...

Pop's is an automatic as well, like I said he's gotten his fair amount of use out of it. I can tell you that you really couldn't beat the hell outta this thing. The 2000's were completely underpowered for the weight of the vehicle. That's why in 01 or 02 they had to stick a turbo in them for it to get out of it's own way.
