a 5sp is way better for 4wheeling. You will get a reaaally low (numerically
high)gear which is 4:1 and combine that with a 3:55 gear and you get 38.73
crawl ratio plus more braking control using the engines compression.

Subject: DML: 5 Speed vs. Automatic
I'm upgrading my truck from a '97 2WD Sport 5sp V6 to a '99 4X4 Sport V8 and
would appreciate any comments, plus or minus, on the automatic transmission.
The 5 speed works good but I'm thinking an auto trans would provide more
range
of power especially in 4WD.
Thanks,
Dennis
