A little off topic perhaps, but does anyone know if its practical to convert an autoshift to a straight shift?

My understanding is that the autoshift is mechanically identical to a straight 10, with the added electronics that do the shifting.

Just to let everyone know.

I was there Monday morning when they opened and my truck was sitting outside.

They said they got it all back together and found they missed something simple and they didn't want to call me and tell me at 11:30PM when they had it going.

Total bill for new clutch, throwout bearing, throwout bearing fork, rear main seal, and they found a cracked brake hose they replaced.

$3742.74

I made it to California and it worked good.

It's a shame that the dealer isn't more educated about their products. So far I'm completely dissapointed with everytime I have had a dealer or shop do work on my truck. Glad to hear you got it fixed.
