stick shift to automatic

Drew Cutter 30 April 2005 03:41:10
 Trying to remember if its feasible to switch out stick for an automatic
or automatic to stick. What are my options on 2004 stick ? I don't like
the stick that comes with the truck . Harder to resell a stick ?

 Only harder if it's a 1500. That's one reason I got the 2500 with
manual tranny. Someone looking at a 2500 will most likely be
using it to tow or to work in some fashion and will appreciate the
manual over the auto. But on the 1500 a manual is suicide when
it comes time to sell it.

 It probably why the dealer having a hard time selling. Its a v6 , non 4x4.

 I agree. I'm going to get a temporary truck until the clean diesel
trucks come out in a couple of years.

 If it is a V6, then it sorta needs the stick to be able to move at all. I
would leave it the way it is and if you don't already own it, stay away from
it because even with a gold plated automatic, you will have a hell of a time
trying to sell it with that V6.

 I wanted to go the other way on my 1500 when the crap auto tranny went out.
After being beat to death by the group I decided it wasnt feasible. Was only
possible on the 2500 and up.

 Ok, I'll ask. Why is it any harder to convert a 1500 then it is to convert
a 2500?

Duh.... because the 2500 sits higher, so you have more room to work
underneath. Sheesh... EVERYONE knows that! :)­

(Yeah, I have no clue, either - but the answer should be enlightening)

I'm really surprised at you. I'd have thought a man of your experience would
know that tools to work on a 1500 are much more expensive than the 2500
wrenches. Not to mention the click type torque wrenches are inaccurate on
the 1500 series.

 I thought the tools for the 2500 were actually larger...negating the
additional ground clearance difference.
