Default Automatic or Manual Trans

Well im thinking about ordering a new 3500 diesel. My question is a simple one. Do I order a stick or auto. I woud like some input about the new 6-Speed Automatic 68RFE likes, dislikes, regrets.

Thanks
Racky

Manual will almost always be more reliable and better for towing/hauling. Not saying the auto is unreliable, just that the manual is usually better.

I will move this to the diesel section for you, get you some help.
