RacinDuallie 04-19-2006, 06:53 PM What do you plan to do with the truck? Drag race? Towing? Sled Pulling? It all depends- either way both will need upgrades when the power gets turned up.... Billysgoat 04-19-2006, 07:00 PM :stupid: LOL Give us an idea what you want to do with the truck, if you plan to race, tow, play or pull. haz-mat19 04-19-2006, 08:43 PM :agreed: Towing manual, racing or a lot of driving in town auto. Like they said, both will need upgrades if you get high hp:smoke: . The auto will cost a lot more:barf: . It just depends on what you want:HappyMugs . Deezle1 04-19-2006, 09:17 PM auto is best for racing and is expensive to upgrade (and is immediatly needed once stock hp is surpassed) and the manual is not fast enough for racing, but perfectly strong and sturdy for towing and working. Dom dieseldog80 04-19-2006, 10:02 PM well it is going to be an everyday truck and i will pull a trailer about 2 to3 times a week RacinDuallie 04-20-2006, 11:24 AM well it is going to be an everyday truck and i will pull a trailer about 2 to3 times a week Sounds like a stick is in yer future with a good SBC set-up.:Thumbup: John DiMartino 04-20-2006, 12:17 PM For towing 2-3x a week,id look for a 6 speed truck,and keep an eye out for a used exhaust brake.Add a strong clutch,and you have a great foundation for adding power.

I'd go with a Auto, flush the trany, then add a ATS or BD or DTT Valve Body. robt 04-26-2006, 06:33 PM I've got a 6 sp florida trk for sale[2001] strong truck......robt | |
