thought manuals were scarce where i was too until i looked up the truck on the dodge.com web site. shows the trucks available at local dealers and the window stickers. the cheaper ones are generally the ones with the manuals. say $39000 msrp trucks would mostly be the manuals. hi all ive been seriously thinking about getting a cummins powered dodge. unfortunately the kind i want 3/4 ton 4x4 manual tranny regular cab is scarce around here. i remember hearing about a place in decatur in that specialized in diesel trucks. cant remember the name of it though. anyone know what its called thanks tony .
