buying a new truck, what do I get?

It is good 6.9 but the downtime making me think about getting another truck and if I'm going to do that, I like to get the best possible fuel economy out there.

 

Looks like the truck I'm looking for. I talked to fitz and they said that they can't put an autoshift.
That is one of biggest concern an autoshift. I had 2 autoshifts in the past 5 years and I love them, great fuel economy, comfort, better in Philadelphia traffic. Ect. So I thought a out new truck again but the down side is the egr, dpf and too much computer junk so I don't know which way to go?

 

Thanks for this info. I don't haul heavy with permits. I run I-80 east of gary, IN most of my runs are Cleveland, oh to the east and back empty. I'll for sure need 6x2 with a lift axle that is what I have now but it is got 600k miles on it and started to like the shop more than the road ( very costly ) the price of the glider is almost as much as a new truck and I don't think I'll keep it for more than 5 years.

 

My problem is not the engine. It is the egr, dpf, computer that dealers have no idea how to read the codes but yet they charge $120.00 an hour.

 

Who did you speak with at Fitzgerald about the autoshift?
