When I got my new truck I went from a standard to an automatic (though I
admit it is more because of the city driving I do than any other reason) It
seems to me that there isn't as much low-end "Umph" in the auto but it DOES
make it nice if you are offroad (doing anything but rock-climbing!) [Just my
2cents]

99 5.2L 4x4 SLT
While I am here... a quick P.S.
I have an 2-tone SLT.... I have seen several other SLT 5.2L 4x4's around but
mine is the only 2-tone..... Any ideas? (Not that it matters a whole hell of
a lot.. I got exactly what I wanted when I bought it... just curious)
