Interesting on the "stick has more value" comments.... We rarely see a manual equipped trucks out here, and it would have to be one he77 of a deal for me to ever own a G56 equipped truck. We've had our 01 since 03. It was purchased and maintained at the dealer I work at so I scooped it up when the original owners had to have the new "quieter" common rail. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed with the power, but an EZ, set of mild injectors, and a trans upgrade has made it a towing machine. "IF" i were looking at a newer rig the Hemi and 8 speed trans would probably get the pick, but my old noisy oil burner is paid for, and does the job it was designed to do.... and does it well. The terrain sucks out here in the desert southwest so I need all the help I can get.
