My uncle told me years ago that an automatic in a truck is about 'as helpful as a crocodile in the swimming hole'... or was it 'useless as tits on a bullfrog'?

Either way, it stuck with me.. I prefer a manual transmission in a truck.. which reminds me of another seemigly common problem with the 1500's and 2500's after 100,000 miles.. the starters like to flake out.


an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
