    Thats more his choice. Explain it to him, and if it has the promise to be really well in good times he should go for it.

    I am not actually a huge fan of ice cream as it tends to make stomach go haywire. That being said, the ice creams with higher cream content tend to impact me less. I think it is like sleeping with a super hot model type versus your mean old ex-wife - neither are good for you but you feel better after one versus the other.

    @stwik (Otherwise known as Sir Stuck A Lot)

    Tillamook Ice Cream is pretty legit. Just thought I'd give you another PNW resident opinion.

    I ain’t eating cheesecake at the bar anymore tell these boys to settle down...

    @Czar_Zero

    Next time I ain’t even asking for help! There ain’t no helping an Eaton Auto anyway...

    And see... that’s why I didn’t ask for your opinion about the ice cream!!

    You are correct, Eaton Automated Manuals are hot garbage. My first experience with one was when they still had a clutch pedal for stopping and going. Almost tweaked my right arm because the truck had one of those tall RAM Mounts for a tablet right where a shifter should be. Was taking it from a customer's yard to the shop to change the turbo. Got going and grabbed that stupid tablet mount and tried to grab gears......

    "No, I don't know how that mount got bent like that....."

    Only automated manual I've played with that I didn't completely hate is the DT12. May the lord have mercy on your soul if you lose air to it...

    Were I to spec a modern truck and didn't just make the right choice and go for a 13 speed, I'd at least go for the Allsion TC10 since you can get them in PACCAR products now instead of just Interscraptional, as was the case when the TC10 made its debut. If I want an automatic, I want a real automatic. Plus I know all the care/feeding of Allison's thanks to having certificates saying I was officially trained in such (also have manuals and wiring schematics ho ho ho)
