I've long realised my automatic trans is gonna be far outlived by the 2.3 engine and basically everything else on the truck. I planned on picking up a junkyard 5r44e and rebuilding it in my basement then just storing it until the time comes. Today I found a 2008 2.3 with a manual in the junkyard and considered picking that up, but I know I need a TON of other parts to do the conversion, most importantly the computer, wiring harness, cluster, and Pat's stuff. So the initial cost and work will be more...
Like go get some opinions. Stick with my original plan for the simplicity.. or go for the manual for a more reliable transmission?
