I second that opinion. I used to swear I'd never own a slush pump, but
the V8 was only available with the auto back in '93, and I didn't want an
air bag as the later trucks have.
An auto works great off-road, and is a lot more convenient for commuting.
I admit you can't rock a vehicle in deep snow as well [although even a
good five feet of the stuff hasn't stopped the Dak] and you can't tow
an auto too easily [drop the driveshaft on a Dak, and all the xfer case
lube pours out]. With the tow package max cooling system, overheating
has never been an issue.
