OMG!!!! The auto must have lower gear ratio than manuals. This thing will pull tree stumps out!!!!!!:thumbup2:Might be too low tho. Will have to get out on the highway to know for sure. What would be a good gear ratio for the 6 speed? Man, I love this truck!!!!

If you could put it in 4w lo you would be even more amazed. Can't imagine how low it is with 4:10 gears instead of the 3:55's. You wont need 1st unless you are pulling said stump or hauling what ever.

Yes, 1st is worthless, well, not entirely. You think the auto had 4.10's in it?

They came both ways. You might look on the door inside of your glove box and see if there is a sticker in there that tells you what you have. There is on in my 02.Another way is to get on the highway and in 6th gear you ought to be around 2000 rpm at 70 to 72 mph depending on tire size. I run 265 75r 16's, with 3:55's

Another FYI: The instrument cluster from the donor truck has to be compatible with your PCM. I just swapped the cluster out because it had the block out plate for the stick. Came up with a "No bus" in the mileage and check engine light. Took it out and robbed block out plate from it for my cluster and fixed. No codes and no lights!!!!!! Did I say I REALLY LIKE THE STICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
