Allen I differ in my opinion on automatics in pickup trucks. I have a 1990 W300 Dodge diesel. It is a five speed. It has 357,000 miles on it. I pull my 30 foot flat bed trailer with it 25 to 30 thousand miles each year. Truck and trailer weight 14500 lbs. empty, haul ten ton hay loads every week. It still has the original clutch. I have replaced the throw out bearing when I fixed the transmission synchronizers. Had a new clutch and compared it to the old one and it did not show wear, so I left it in. Still will bark the wheels. LOL

Now for the Automatic horror stories I have had. I bought a 2005 w 350 Ford Diesel new. I got the automatic because my wife has health problems and can't push a heavy clutch. I owned that truck two years and put forty thousand miles on it. It had the trans fixed twice and replace completely at 38k. The last six month I owned it the wife took my daughter to school in it. It never hauled or pulled anything after the last repair. When I sold it the transmission was slipping again. Replaced it with a Dodge 2008 W3500 Diesel automatic. I only kept it one year. It had an electronic shift problem that they never could get fixed. You would be driving along and it would down shift two gears and slide the back wheels. Threw the wife hard into the steering wheel and caused her to spend two days in the hospital. I sued Dodge under the lemon laws and got my money back.
So what does she drive now?? A 1998 W250 Dodge diesel five speed. I installed a helper spring in the clutch linkage and she can push the clutch fine. The doctors told her if she was ever in a hard hitting accident that she would more than likely be paralyzed. I want her to be in a bigger vehicle for safety.

Today's Featured Article - A Farmall Story - by Ed Meadors. The year was 1978. Our young family had recently moved to rural Chesapeake, Virginia to a plot of land which would finally allow us to realize our dreams of a huge garden, critters and more lawn and pasture than we would ever use! We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel. ...
