<< Will Tier - The Cummins engine in the 5-speed Dodge Ram (which has a
"granny" first gear) is more powerful than the Cummins in the automatic
Dodge Ram. Apparently, the automatic can't take the engine's torque, so
they have to de-rate it. Which one would ". . . fade away in (the)
rearview mirror?" >>
Never did care for them stinky, noisey hard starting diesels and am not
familiar with them or their tranny's but I know a guy who has one and his is
a automatic which he loves. Hauls a horse trailer back and forth to Florida
and told me he just sets the cruise on 70 and kicks back, up hill down hill
no clutching or shifting just relaxation. Says he leaves them sticks right in
the dust looking for the right gear. I never knew him to be untruthful
though...
