I am looking to buy a truck soon,, spending aboutlower 20k something.

I am having a hard time finding a manual tranny with the hemi,,what years did they make them?

Any dependability issues?,,,for example I heard the 03's brakes are reallly weak, or something

I was looking at an 02 on up,,Any advice on what to look for before buyinga hemi 4x4truck?

 

the only way to get a manual with the hemi is in the 2500 all hemi's in the 1500's are auto's.

 

No manuals with the 1500's[&o]. Other wise i would have bought the hemi.

 

Man, whats the deal with automatics? When I was searching, I had the hardest time finding manual 3/4 ton trucks. Some dealerships didn't even carry them. It surprised me to see dealerships with rows upon rows of brand new trucks and not a single one of them were manual. I guess the demand for them isn't that high...

 

The HEMI has alot of pulling power as aautomatic.

 

I was at a dealership and the carsalesman told me that the new automatics in trucks are just as good and can do the same as a manual. I think this was either just his way of convincing me to make things easy for himand by an a/t, or his lack of intelegence.

 

then how come my bro-in-laws jeep w/hemiunloaded couldnt keep up with me on an 8% grade while I was loaded passing a brand new 08 F350 w/6.4L
