Hey Terry;
Glad to see you could come on board, ask away everyone here will be glad to
help out.
I have the 5spd w/3.92SG and don't seem to have any problems on wet
surfaces, however my last two vehicles were both manuals and rear wheel
drive, but I think probably the biggest difference is the Club Cab.
I agree with Sean, if you go the 5spd route get the 3.55SG. Now, this is
just my opinion, if it were me with a 2wd SB I'd go with the auto, makes
for much better stoplight jaunts. (don't tell WillTier I said this) 8^)
