I like the idea of driving the truck like it was built. It's part of the fun. I've gotten pretty good at normal driving, but downshifting is still hit or miss... mostly miss though.
Last year I had trouble with the truck stalling due to a plugged idle jet, and trying to restart the truck by popping the clutch was a disaster. Not being able to rev the stalled engine made getting the thing into gear a very grinding experience. Sure don't want to try that again!
